Square-foot invoices with deposits

Flooring invoicing software

Flooring invoicing software priced the way you quote, per square foot. The material deposit taken at signing comes off the total, and the balance goes out the day the installer finishes.

Example with sample data

Free contractor invoice template

Priced by the square foot

Set installation and removal to take a quantity in square feet, and the measured area multiplies on the estimate, the project and the invoice without a calculator.

Services and pricing

Material deposits up front

The customer signs the estimate and pays a deposit before you order material. That deposit is credited automatically on the final invoice.

Estimates and e-signatures

Changes after the selection

When the customer switches from carpet to tile, revise the estimate and have it signed again. The new lines replace the project's, and the invoice follows them.

Job management

Paid when the installer leaves

The balance goes by text and email as soon as the project is marked complete, and builders or property managers can pay it by ACH.

Questions flooring installers ask about invoices

Can I invoice by the square foot?

Yes. Give the service a square-foot quantity and the measured area multiplies through to the invoice.

Can I collect a deposit for materials?

Yes. Put the deposit on the estimate; the customer pays it when signing, and it comes off the final bill.

What if the customer changes the floor?

Revise the estimate and get it signed again. Its lines replace the project's, so the invoice matches what was installed.

Can a builder pay by bank transfer?

Yes. Switch ACH on for the builder's account; Stripe's fee on it never goes above $5.

Can installers finish a project on site?

Yes. An installer marks the project complete from the phone, and the balance can go out to the customer straight away.

Do installers see prices?

No. Installers see the rooms and scope, never the price or the invoice total.

Can I bill a large job in parts?

Yes. Collect the deposit at signing, then invoice each area as it is finished.

Can I add stairs or trim to the invoice?

Yes. Each is a service with its own unit, such as per step or per foot, and lands on the invoice with the floor.
