What is a painter invoice?

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.
