The carpentry quote template, with its line items listed

What’s on a carpentry quote

Every line is one part of the carpentry job, priced on its own so the client can see exactly what the fixed price covers.

Line itemUnitWhy it’s its own line
Remove existing baseboard and shoe moldingper linear ftOld trim has to come off first, priced by the foot.
Install prehung interior door uniteachDoors are priced each, including shimming, hanging and adjusting.
Install interior door casing seteachCasing is priced per opening, both sides, separately from the door.
Install primed MDF baseboardper linear ftBaseboard is the bulk of most trim jobs, priced by the linear foot.
Install shoe molding at baseboardper linear ftShoe is optional on many floors. Its own line keeps it a choice.
Install primed crown moldingper linear ftCrown is slower per foot than base because of the compound cuts and the ceiling work.
Install beadboard wainscot panelingper sq ftPaneling covers wall area, so it’s priced by the square foot.
Install window casing with stool and aproneachWindow trim is priced per window: stool, apron and casing.
Install wire closet shelf and rodeachCloset systems are counted, one line per closet.
Fill nail holes and caulk trim jointsper linear ftFilling and caulking is what makes trim look finished; the client should see it’s included.

How to fill it in

Your carpentry quote in four steps

  1. 1

    Add your details

    Put in your business name, phone, email and license number once, and save the file as your master copy.

  2. 2

    Measure the job

    Measure baseboard, shoe and crown in linear feet room by room, wall paneling in square feet, and count doors, windows and closets.

  3. 3

    Fix a price for each line

    Enter a quantity and a fixed price on each line the job needs, in linear feet, each and square feet. Delete the lines you don’t need, and write what the price assumes in the terms.

  4. 4

    Send it for acceptance

    Fill in the blanks in the terms, save it as a PDF and send it. The client signs the acceptance line, and the price holds for the work listed.

How carpentry jobs are quoted

Trim carpentry suits a fixed quote because nearly everything on it can be measured or counted before you start: the feet of baseboard and crown in each room, the doors, the window casings, the closets. A client trimming out a remodel or replacing all the doors on a floor wants one price, and once you’ve measured, you can give it.

The risk is in the house, not the trim. Out-of-level floors, bowed walls and corners that aren’t square slow every cut and need scribing, shimming or wider caulk lines. Older homes add plaster that’s hard to nail into and jambs that sit proud of the wall. Check a few walls with a level before you fix the price, write what it assumes, and keep extra scribing outside it. If new flooring is going in, say whether the base goes on before or after it.

Material choice can change the price as much as the measurements. Stain-grade wood needs tighter joints than painted MDF, so quote it as its own lines if the client is undecided. Say who buys the doors and hardware, and hold the price only as long as your lumber supplier holds theirs.

Carpentry quote template FAQ

01Is this carpentry quote template free?
Yes. Download the PDF, Word or Excel file and use it for as many jobs as you like. There’s no sign-up.
02How is this carpentry quote different from the estimate template?
Both list the same carpentry line items. The quote’s terms make the price fixed for the work listed and put anything else outside it, while the estimate’s terms leave room for the final price to change. Use the quote when you can see the whole job and stand behind one number.
03Can BuildWell send a quote for me?
Yes, with a subscription. Describe the job and BuildWell prices it line by line from stores near the job and your metro’s labor rates, and you can title the document Quote instead of Estimate. Your client opens it as a link, then signs and accepts it on their phone. It costs $7.99 a week or $79.99 a year after a 3-day free trial.
04Can I give a fixed price for trimming out a whole house?
Yes, once you’ve measured each room and counted the doors, windows and closets. Build the price from the lines room by room, name the material and profile, and write what the price assumes about level floors and straight walls so extra scribing isn’t on you.
05How do I quote trim in an older house?
Walk it with a level and look for bowed walls, uneven floors and plaster that won’t hold a nail well. Say in the quote what the price assumes, and keep extra scribing, shimming and jamb extensions outside it. A higher rate per foot may suit houses where every cut needs fitting.
06Should a carpentry quote include door hardware?
Say either way. Hanging a prehung door doesn’t include a knob set or hinges in a new finish unless you say so. If you’re supplying hardware, list it with the door; if the client is, say you’re installing what they provide.
