Split parts and labor on separate lines. Most states tax materials but exempt service labor, so a single combined line either overcharges the customer or short-pays the state. Keep junk removal parts, labor, and any trip fee on their own rows with a taxable flag each.
Estimate, invoice, or receipt?. An estimate quotes work before it starts and should be approved in writing. An invoice bills for work done and carries the due date and payment terms. A receipt records money already received. Sending the wrong one is the most common paperwork mistake in the trades.
Write the payment terms down. Due on receipt, Net 15, or Net 30 — plus the deposit amount and any late fee allowed in your state. Terms that only exist in conversation don't get honored.
