- Estimate number, date and how long the price is valid
- Clear options (good, better, best) with what each includes
- Warranty terms and any permit or inspection fees
- Deposit required, if any
- A place for the customer to approve and sign
Pricing garage door work
- Price repairs as flat-rate tasks from a price book: parts cost plus your labor hours at a loaded hourly rate, plus margin. Labor rate = (annual overhead + tech wages and burden + target profit) divided by billable hours.
- Quote springs as a pair on two-spring doors. Many companies recommend replacing both because they share the same age and cycle wear; explain why rather than just adding it to the bill.
- Use a diagnostic or service-call fee that is credited toward the repair, and say so on the phone. It answers the price shopper without quoting blind.
- For new doors, build price from the supplier cost of the door, track and hardware, then add install labor hours, haul-away, and your margin. Use markup and margin correctly: a 50% margin is a 100% markup.
