Painting invoices should separate prep work from painting and from materials, since prep is often the bulk of the labor. Itemize by room or surface, and note the number of coats and the paint brand/finish, so the customer sees the full scope. Common line items include:

Frequently asked questions

What should a painting invoice include?

Break out prep, labor (by room or surface), and materials like paint and primer, then show the subtotal, tax, and total. Listing the number of coats and the paint brand/finish in the description sets clear expectations.

Should I charge separately for prep work?

It's smart to. Prep — sanding, patching, masking, pressure washing — is often the most time-consuming part of a paint job. Itemizing it shows the customer the value and avoids surprise when the labor total is higher than the paint cost.

How do I bill for paint and materials?

List paint and primer by the gallon on their own line items (quantity = gallons, rate = your per-gallon price), separate from labor. Note the brand and finish in the description so there's no confusion about what was used.

Can I add my logo to the invoice?

Yes. Upload a logo and it appears at the top of the document. It's saved in this browser's local storage and used to build your invoice. No account needed.
