    What is a painter invoice?

    An painter invoice is the bill you send a customer AFTER the work is done. It lists every part, labor charge, and tax, and tells the customer what they owe and how to pay.

    What every painter invoice should include

    • Room/area list with sqft
    • Paint brand + sheen
    • Prep scope
    • Number of coats
    • Color sign-off

    Painter invoice FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on painting work?

    Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each painting line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.

    Paint included or extra?

    All-in pricing wins on bids; itemized gives flexibility. Quote both options.

    How do I price exterior?

    Per sqft + adders for height/peeling/prep. Walk the job before you bid.
