Contractor Quote FAQ
What should a contractor quote include?
A contractor quote should include your business details, the client's information, a line-by-line breakdown of labor, materials, equipment, and permit costs, the total price, a validity date, and your payment terms. The more specific the scope, the fewer disputes arise later.
How is a contractor quote different from a bid?
A quote is a firm price offer for a specific scope of work — usually given directly to one client. A bid is typically used in competitive procurement where multiple contractors submit prices for the same project, often required by government or commercial clients.
Should I ask for a deposit when the quote is accepted?
Yes — most contractors require 25–50% upfront after a quote is accepted. This covers material costs before work begins and confirms the client's commitment. State the exact deposit amount in your terms.
How long should a contractor quote be valid?
Construction material prices can change quickly. Set validity to 14–21 days for most residential jobs. For large or commercial projects with long lead times, 30 days is common. Always update the "Valid Until" date before sending.
