Questions for the owner

You did not mention a warranty. Do you want warranty terms added?
Gas water heater installs and gas connections may need a permit or inspection. Please confirm the local requirements and tell me if you want a permit fee added.
You wrote "certified for her home" next to the unit. Please confirm the exact model and size you are quoting so it can be listed.
The sentence "unit borrowed price 780" was unclear. Please confirm $780.00 is the price to charge for the heater.

What it does

Turns your job notes, material list, and labor figures into a clear, organized estimate the customer can read and approve. It uses only the numbers you give it and adds up the totals for you.

Use it when: Use when a plumber needs to turn job notes, site visit details, or a rough list of work and materials into a clear written estimate for a customer, such as "write up an estimate," "build a quote for this job," or "price this out for the customer."
