Prep work is billed separately, either per square foot or as a fixed line, because a floor that needs leveling or a shower that needs a new pan is a different job from a straight swap. Say clearly whether the price includes the tile. Many customers buy their own tile and ask you to set it, and the invoice should say so, along with the allowance for cuts. Jobs this size usually run on a deposit and a balance, so a [payment link](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/online-payments) on the invoice helps get the final payment before the next job starts. ## Tips to get paid faster 1. Measure the area and add the cut allowance on the invoice. Customers who order too little tile blame the installer. 2. Bill demolition, backer board and waterproofing as separate lines. They are the reason a tile job costs more than the tile. 3. Price large format and patterns higher per foot and say so. It explains the number before anyone asks. 4. Write down the grout curing time on the invoice so nobody mops or showers too early. 5. Take a photo of the substrate before you cover it. If something fails later, it shows the work underneath was sound. ## Common invoice mistakes - Pricing a straight lay and then setting a herringbone pattern for the same rate - Not stating who supplied the tile, which turns every breakage into an argument - Charging one price for prep that depends on what is under the old floor ## Questions ### How do I price a tile installation? Charge a rate per square foot for setting the tile, plus separate lines for demolition, backer board, waterproofing, leveling, grout and sealer. Raise the rate for large format, diagonal or mosaic work. ### What should a tile invoice include? Your details, the customer and address, square footage per surface, prep and setting lines, who supplied the tile, the overage allowance, warranty and the total due. ### Do I bill for tile I did not supply? No, only for setting it. Write on the invoice that the customer supplied the tile and how much overage you allowed. ### Is this tile installation invoice template free? Yes.
