Contractor invoice template
Updated October 2026
A remodel bill stalls when the whole job is one lump. The sample below is a rough-in draw for a fictional bathroom: hours by themselves, materials by themselves, and a change order that already has a date on it.

Fields worth having on the draw
- Your license number, up with your business details.
- Job site, written apart from the billing address.
- The estimate or work-order number this draw belongs to.
- Labor as hours and a rate, not hidden inside a material price.
- Each change, with the day it was approved.
- A plain sentence about what this draw covers and what is left.
Why this draw is net 14
A homeowner can usually pay a finished stage in two weeks. That is a different rhythm from a company that runs invoices through a monthly check run. The deposit already covered the first material buy, so this bill is only the work since signing.
Talk through the stages in the agreement, then match the invoice to them. More on how to phrase due dates sits on the payment terms guide.
What usually stalls a remodel bill
What should a contractor invoice show besides the total?
Labor, materials, and approved extras each need their own line, and the job site should be written out when it is not the mailing address. One line that only says bathroom remodel is how a fair number turns into a fight.
How do I put a change order on the invoice?
Name the change, the date the client said yes, and the amount. In this sample, moving the vanity was approved on August 18, 2026, and it stands as its own $220 line instead of being folded into the vanity price.
When should a draw go out?
Send the draw when that stage is actually finished. This rough-in bill is tied to fixture setting, not to the end of a calendar month.
Which address goes on the bill?
Put both when they differ. Here the client is billed at an apartment, and the work is at 410 Maple Ave. A receipt applied to the wrong door is a mess to unwind.
Does a small remodel need retainage?
This house draw does not hold anything back. If the contract has a schedule of values and a percent kept until the end, use the construction progress bill instead of forcing that math onto a bathroom invoice.
