Most money problems in a small service business aren't about price. They're about paperwork: a vague quote, no deposit, an invoice sent a week late and nobody following up. This kit gives a home service business one simple paper trail, from estimate to paid, and the tools to run it in a few minutes a week.
You get printable and editable templates for 8 trades: house cleaning, lawn care, pressure washing, window cleaning, junk removal, handyman, car detailing and any home service. Each edition has an estimate and an invoice with that trade's line items already listed, plus a change order and a payment receipt. Use the PDFs to print and fill in by hand, or edit the Word versions with your own details.
The Invoice Maker (Excel and Google Sheets, no macros) holds your price list and customers. Type a code and a quantity and the estimate or invoice fills in prices, tax, deposit and balance, ready to save as PDF. Its Invoice Log shows every unpaid invoice, how many days late it is, and which reminder to send next, with the matching script. The 24-page Get Paid Guide covers what goes on an estimate, deposits and payment terms, card fees, sales tax, a 4-step reminder schedule and what to do when a customer doesn't pay, with the federal rules checked in October 2026 and links. 36 texts, emails, phone lines and policy blocks are ready to copy. It can't promise that customers pay on time, and it is not legal, tax or financial advice.
