Carpenter quote template

Carpentry quotes sell craftsmanship. Name the timber or board, the finish, the hardware and the dimensions, and include a sketch reference if you have one. The more precisely you describe the piece, the less the customer compares you on price alone.

What to include in a carpentry job quote

  • Dimensions and drawings/reference

  • Hardware: hinges, runners, handles
  • Finish: paint, stain, oil, number of coats
  • Installation, fitting and removal of old units

Pricing tips for carpenters

  • Separate design, making and installation so customers see the value of each.
  • Quote hardware upgrades (soft-close, premium handles) as optional lines.
  • Take a deposit before buying materials for bespoke work.
  • Include a lead time — it sets expectations and reduces chasing.

Carpenter quote FAQ

How do carpenters quote bespoke furniture?

Materials plus workshop hours plus installation, with hardware and finish specified; design time is often its own line.

Should a carpentry quote include a drawing?

If possible, yes — reference it in the notes so both sides agree on the design.

How much deposit is normal?

For bespoke pieces, 30–50% on acceptance is common. Put it on the quote.
