Say what you did
Type the job the way you'd say it, for example "hung 6 sheets of drywall, patched 2 holes and pulled a permit". Handbill turns it into invoice lines priced with your own rates. You check them and send.
An invoice that fits the job
With Pro, pick the Contractor style: a color stripe and cards for the client, the project and the dates, so a big job reads like a proper contract. Add your logo, cropped to a circle if you like, and pick from ten colors. Seven other styles are there too. See every style.
Get paid without fees
Clients pay you directly by cash, check, bank transfer, Zelle, Venmo or your own card reader. Handbill records the payment and never takes a cut. Overdue invoices are flagged so you know who to chase.
Tips for general contractors
- Ask for a deposit on larger jobs; 30 percent is common and covers materials.
- Put anything outside the scope on a separate estimate so the change is in writing.
- Price your common jobs once in Settings, then estimates take a minute on site.
