Free Contractor Estimate Template (PDF)
Most contractors lose money on estimates two ways: they leave the scope vague, and they leave the price open forever. This template fixes both. There's a scope section, an exclusions section, an expiration date, and a signature line — so a yes is actually a yes.
What's on the form
- Scope of work — what you're doing, in plain language
- Exclusions — what you are explicitly not doing
- Price with optional Good / Better / Best structure
- Expiration date so pricing doesn't haunt you in six months
- Customer signature and date line

The Contractor Sales Starter Pack is five short PDFs: phone scripts, word-for-word answers to the ten price objections you hear every week, a Good/Better/Best estimate that lifts your average ticket, a follow-up playbook, and the review-request script. Nine dollars, instant download.

Common questions
- How long should an estimate be good for?
- Thirty days is standard. Material prices move, your schedule moves, and an open-ended quote is a liability.
- What if the job changes after they sign?
- That's a change order — a separate signed document that adds scope and price. Never absorb it verbally.
