Field-Tested Invoicing Clauses
Sample clauses · Non-binding templateClick any clause to append directly into your invoice terms. Lien notice statutes and late-interest caps vary by state.
“Work performed to GA-214/ASTM C840 Level 4 Drywall Finish (Ready for flat or eggshell paint). Level 5 skim coat available upon request.”
“Contractor installs poly plastic containment barriers. While industrial HEPA vacuums are used during sanding, airborne microscopic dust may settle.”
“50% deposit upon hanging delivery. Remainder due upon final texture sign-off prior to painter mobilization.”
Drywall Invoicing Guidelines
Define the Finish Level Explicitly
Always state Level 3 (heavy texture), Level 4 (standard paint), or Level 5 (gloss paint skim coat) to avoid perfectionist customer disputes.
Itemize Scaffolding on High Ceilings
For vaulted 12ft+ ceilings, charge scaffolding and high-work safety lines separately.
Document Plaster vs Drywall Differences
Historic homes with lath and plaster require higher labor rates; explicitly document existing wall settling cracks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is drywall billing typically calculated?
Residential contractors bill either by the 4x8/4x12 sheet count ($50-$80/sheet finished) or total wall/ceiling square footage.
What should be on a sheetrock invoice?
Board thickness (1/2in regular vs 5/8in Type X firecode in garages), corner bead type (metal vs vinyl), and texture style (smooth, knockdown, orange peel).
Is sales tax due on drywall work?
In most states, pure labor is exempt, but materials are taxable unless paid at retail supply houses.
How to handle primer and paint prep?
State whether PVA drywall primer sealer is included or if that is the painting contractor's scope of work.
