An invoice is the document that asks for money after the work is done. It is not a quote and it is not a receipt. It names what you did, what it costs, who owes it, and when it is due. Get those four things right and you get paid faster.

What a contractor invoice should contain

  • Your business name, address, phone, email and license number if your state requires one
  • The customer name and the job address, which are often not the same address
  • A unique invoice number, so you and the customer can both point at the same document
  • The invoice date and a clear due date, not just "net 30" with no date on it
  • Line items split into labor and materials, because customers query lump sums
  • Subtotal, tax, any deposit already paid, and the actual balance due
  • How to pay you: check payable to, bank transfer details, or a payment link

What goes on a tile contractor invoice

These are the lines a tile job usually needs. They are already in the template and in the generator, so you edit rather than start from an empty page.

  • Demo existing tile and thinset
  • Cement board and waterproofing
  • Set porcelain tile, 180 sq ft
  • Grout, seal and caulk
  • Bullnose, trim and transitions

Delete what does not apply, add what does. The point is that a customer looking at an itemized tile invoice can see where the money went, which is what stops the argument before it starts.

Tile is priced per square foot installed and ordered with the grout joint in mind: a 12 inch tile with an eighth inch joint occupies 12.125 by 12.125. Thinset coverage falls as the tile gets bigger, because the trowel notch grows with it.

What the Tile invoice should record

Record the tile product, the grout color and the lot number. A matched replacement tile later depends on all three.
