How to invoice as a painter
Painting invoices break out prep (the part clients underestimate), labour, and materials — and jobs are billed by room, by the square foot, or as a fixed quote. Showing prep separately justifies the price and sets the right expectation.
This template opens with prep, labour and materials. Adjust per job, apply tax where it applies, and send a clean PDF the client can sign off quickly.
What to include
- Property address and rooms / areas painted
- Surface prep (sanding, filling, priming)
- Labour — hours or a fixed fee
- Paint and materials, itemised
- Number of coats and finish
Typical terms: Net 7 · 30% deposit on larger jobs
Frequently asked questions
Should prep be a separate line item?
Yes — prep (sanding, filling, priming) is real labour that clients often overlook. Listing it separately justifies the quote and shows the work behind a quality finish.
How do I bill by room vs by square foot?
You can do either: one line per room with a fixed price, or a labour line based on square footage × rate. The template totals whichever approach you use.
