Question Just need some help with a bid sheet.....
First off, I want to say how awesome this site is. I am new to this site and I think in the past week I have spent hours upon hours on here. I just need some help with bid sheets. I have been painting for a little more the 2 years and all of my jobs have just been verbal. I would like to make it more professional for the client and for me as well. Can someone please help me out. Thanks again.

Welcome!

If I understand you correctly. you've been working with verbal contracts for two years?

If so, I can't believe you haven't been hosed yet
If that's what you mean, you're looking for "contracts", not "bid sheets"
And you definitely need those, ASAP


Check out our "file swap"

bid sheet
Yes, I have been basically running on verbals for a little bit. Only on the smaller jobs. I have a contract that I have for like the bigger ones. I just need some help with bid sheets for the smaller/larger jobs to give to the customers on the spot. Thanks for the fast reply.

Ah, I see
I don't use those, and I'm not sure there's any painting ones in the file swap
Might be worth a look though

...and maybe someone that does use them will post up
