Carpentry Invoice Template
A carpentry invoice documents custom woodworking and rough carpentry including labor hours, lumber, hardware, trim work, and finishing. Create professional carpenter invoices with NetInvoice's free template for framing, cabinetry, and finish carpentry.
Why this invoice template matters
Carpentry ranges from rough framing to fine finish work with vastly different skill levels and pricing. Clear invoices separate rough carpentry from finish work, show lumber grades and quantities, and document hardware and specialty materials. This helps customers understand why custom built-ins cost more than stock cabinets and why old-growth lumber commands premium prices. Good invoicing also tracks which types of carpentry are most profitable and provides documentation for warranty purposes.
