  3. 3Rooms or areas, measuredSquare feet of walls and ceilings and how many coats, room by room when it helps.
  4. 4Paint and suppliesOne line for materials, or name the paint and finish so the client knows what they get.
  5. 5Taxes and the totalEach tax with its rate, like HST 13% in Ontario or sales tax 7% in Indiana, then the total.
  6. 6Deposit and next stepsWhat is due to start, when the rest is billed, and how the client says yes.

How much deposit should a painter ask for?

Many painters ask for enough to cover paint and supplies, often 25 to 50 percent. Put it in the notes, or add a deposit due on acceptance in the Sumocat app.

Which taxes does this template use?

The Canada version uses HST 13% for Ontario, in Canadian dollars. The US version uses sales tax 7% for Indiana, in US dollars. They are examples: which taxes apply depends on where you work and what you sell, so check with your tax authority.
