Contractor Estimate Template
Build a contractor or repair estimate with clear scope, options, exclusions, and your own prices.
Repair estimates with labor and materials in view
Separate the job from the assumptions so a homeowner can see what your repair visit includes.
What this estimate usually includes
List each repair, labor hours, parts, materials, protection, and cleanup. A faucet repair, drywall patch, and fan installation should be distinct rows.
How to write exclusions
Call out concealed damage, new wiring, matching finishes, permit responsibilities, and work beyond the inspected area.
When to offer Good / Better / Best
For a bathroom refresh, distinguish retained finishes, mid-range replacements, and a fuller finish update. Avoid making three names for the same scope.
After you send it
Check material selections and access before scheduling. Use the question thread for clarifications and duplicate an approved quote for changes.

Common questions
How do I estimate a repair visit?
Inspect the work, list parts and labor separately, identify unknowns, enter your own prices, and agree on access and timing.
Can I download this document as a PDF?
Yes. Use Print / save PDF and choose Save as PDF in your browser. Editing and downloading a local quote do not require signup.
How should I decide what to charge?
Use labor and material costs appropriate to your work and region. QuoteCedar does not provide price estimates.
Does the client need an account?
No. A shared client page can be opened without an account. The business signs in to save a quote and create the link.
Can I change approved details?
An approved quote is locked. Duplicate it to create a new draft version when the work needs to change.
