Proposals......

AAPaint

Here is what a typical proposal from my company looks like. Please feel free to post others. This is part of the topic from Sunday's chat.

Some of this stuff I learned or got from other people, but the format is done by my estimating software, and most of the outline is my own. This is pretty much exactly what the customer sees minus all my contract terms and disclosures.
