Painter invoicing tips
- Describe surfaces, rooms and number of coats so the invoice matches the estimate the customer approved.
- List paint brand, color and quantity — customers will want it for touch-ups later.
- Bill prep work (patching, sanding, wallpaper removal) separately; it is often underestimated in quotes.
- Take a deposit to cover paint and materials, especially for exterior jobs that may be weather-delayed.
- Note your workmanship warranty period on the invoice.
Recommended payment terms
Whatever you choose, agree on the terms before you start, write the exact due date and late-payment policy on the invoice, and send it as soon as the work (or milestone) is delivered.
