Free handyman estimate template
Handyman jobs are usually a list of small tasks, so the clearest estimate is one line per task, plus labor, materials and a trip or minimum charge if you use one. Pick hourly or per-task pricing for each line and say which on the estimate.

Questions to ask on the walkthrough
- List every task the client wants, in their words, and confirm the list before you price it.
- Who buys materials: you (listed on the estimate) or the client?
- Are any tasks on ladders, outside, or in hard-to-reach places that take longer?
- Does the client want a flat price per task, or hourly with an estimate of hours?
- Is cleanup and haul-away included?
Things to list as not included
Saying what isn't in the price heads off surprises. Common examples for handyman work:
- Tasks not on the list; new tasks get their own line before you start them.
- Materials the client supplies.
- Hidden damage found during a task (rot, wiring or plumbing behind a wall).
How to fill it in
- Give each estimate its own number and a valid-until date.
- Describe the job in the client's words, so they recognize it.
- Keep one line per item, with a quantity, a unit and your rate. Delete lines you don't use.
- Write down what is not included.
- When the client says yes, the same lines become the invoice. See estimate vs invoice.

This template is a general starting point, not a contract form or legal advice. If your client signs an estimate, it may become a contract, and some places set rules for what estimates and contracts must include, such as a notice of the client's right to cancel. Check the rules where you work.
Please note
Bidpocket makes estimates and invoices from what you enter. It doesn't give tax, legal or accounting advice, doesn't work out what tax you owe, and doesn't check that your documents meet the rules where you or your clients are. Some places require specific invoice details or electronic invoicing; ask a tax professional. Bidpocket doesn't process, hold or send payments.
