Say what you did
Type the job the way you'd say it, for example "hung 2 interior doors, ran 80 ft of baseboard and replaced 6 deck boards". Handbill turns it into invoice lines priced with your own rates. You check them and send.
An invoice that fits the job
With Pro, pick the Contractor style: a color stripe and cards for the client, the project and the dates, so a big job reads like a proper contract. Add your logo, cropped to a circle if you like, and pick from ten colors. Seven other styles are there too. See every style.
Get paid without fees
Clients pay you directly by cash, check, bank transfer, Zelle, Venmo or your own card reader. Handbill records the payment and never takes a cut. Overdue invoices are flagged so you know who to chase.
Tips for carpenters
- Price trim by the linear foot and doors by the opening; customers can compare those numbers.
- Before opening a wall or deck, write a line for rot with your price per board or sheet.
- Say in the line detail who supplies the doors and lumber, so a materials price change is clear.
