What a gutter invoice is for
Gutter invoices are quick to check: the customer walks around the house and counts downspouts. Matching the estimate, listing any fascia repaired at the agreed price, and noting where each downspout drains makes the walk-around and the payment easy. A note on the hose test shows the system works.
What to put on a gutter invoice
- Footage installed and gutter size.
- Downspouts and discharge.
- Removal done.
- Fascia repaired, by the foot.
- Deposit and the balance.
A worked example
The new gutters are up. Twelve feet of fascia was rotted at one corner and replaced. The deposit was paid at signing.
