Free plumbing estimate template.

Identify the service address and what the customer reported. Then state the work being offered, such as replacing a leaking fixture connection or installing a new water heater. If a diagnosis is incomplete, say what the estimate assumes.

Clarify access, removal, haul-away, patching, restoration, permits, inspection coordination, and concealed-condition work as applicable. Clear exclusions prevent a reasonable customer from thinking unrelated repairs were included.

Keep an approved version and use a documented change order if hidden damage or additional work is discovered. The customer should understand the new scope and amount before work proceeds.

The spreadsheet calculates ten line amounts, subtracts a fixed discount, adds a manually entered tax amount, and subtracts recorded payments or deposits. Tax is entered manually because this file does not determine tax rules. A negative balance indicates a credit or overpayment for review. The Word version is manually completed; neither file collects money or creates a digital signature.

Choose your currency and review amounts, local requirements, terms, and approval wording with the appropriate professional. Save each job in authorized storage. Never enter card details or credentials. These are blank administrative worksheets, not legal agreements or safety procedures.

Example to try: Example wording: Replace accessible shutoff valve beneath kitchen sink, test new connections, remove old part; excludes cabinet repair and concealed line replacement.
