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.
“Customer acknowledges all estimates include standard 10% to 15% material overage for cuts, diagonal patterns, and future plank repairs.”
“Installation warranty valid strictly when subfloor meets manufacturer moisture tolerance (under 12% wood / 3 lbs calcium chloride slab test).”
“R&R (Remove & Replace) of baseboards or quarter-round shoe molding billed as itemized separate linear footage.”
Flooring Invoicing Best Practices
Bill Subfloor Prep Separately
Never absorb humps, dips, or old glue scraping into your install rate; bill leveling compound by the bag and hour.
Detail Transition Strips & Reducers
T-moldings, stair nosings, and metal carpet transitions are expensive parts that clients easily forget.
State Acclimation Requirements
Note in estimate that hardwood and laminate must acclimate on-site in temperature-controlled rooms for 48 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do flooring contractors invoice materials vs labor?
Separate customer-purchased materials from pure labor, or itemize square footage with contractor markup on bulk underlayment and grout.
What should be on a tile installation invoice?
Square footage, tile dimensions (e.g. 12x24 large format requires higher labor), waterproof membrane (Schluter Kerdi), and grout type.
Can I collect a deposit for custom flooring?
Yes, 50% down is mandatory when contractor procures hardwood pallets or specialty imported Italian tile.
Is sales tax charged on flooring installation?
In many states, flooring glued or nailed down is considered real property capital improvement (non-taxable labor), but check your state DOR.
