Invoicing FAQ for Painter & Decorators
Should I price per room or per hour?+
Per room or per square metre is more transparent for clients; track hours internally for your own pricing data.
Do I include paint brand on the invoice?+
Yes — listing the brand and finish protects you if the client expects a different sheen later.
How do I handle touch-ups?+
Include 1 free touch-up visit within 30 days; bill additional visits at a half-day rate.
