Drywall estimate FAQ

Should I state the finish level?

Yes. Describe the finish level (for example Level 4 or Level 5) in the scope of work so expectations are clear.

Will my customer see my costs?

No. The proposal shows only customer prices, in the level of detail you choose. Internal costs, markup, margin, and notes never appear.

Do the suggested items include prices?

No. Suggestions help you remember what belongs in the bid. You enter your own costs, so nothing is priced with made-up numbers.
