Winning jobs is pointless if they do not profit. Here is how to price trade work to actually make money./blog/pricing-your-work-profitably/What should a contractor do when a customer asks for extras after the quote is signed?
Extras are where small jobs lose money and goodwill. Here is a simple change order habit that keeps both the customer relationship and your margin intact./blog/handling-change-orders-field/When should a trade contractor let a written quote expire and reprice the job?

The invoice should be the quote plus what changed. Here is a workflow that keeps the two documents in sync and gets you paid faster./blog/quote-to-invoice-without-retyping/What should a contractor do when a customer says the quote is too high?
