Siding invoice template — squares, sheathing and trim
Siding invoices turn on what was found behind the old cladding. These templates keep the sheathing allowance visible instead of buried.
An invoicing spreadsheet that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, or prints to PDF. Pre-filled with the fields a siding invoice needs, plus the payment terms this trade most often gets caught out by.
- Blank — the invoice fields, ready to fill in by hand.
- Auto-calculating — same sheet with subtotal, tax, deposit and balance due wired up. Formulas work in Excel and Google Sheets.
- Printable — a clean one-page layout to fill in or save as PDF.
How siding work actually gets paid
Siding bills per square of wall covered, with trim, corners and openings priced separately because they are where the labour concentrates. The number that moves is sheathing: rot is not visible until tear-off, so the honest structure is an allowance with a per-sheet rate agreed in advance and billed against on the invoice. House wrap and window flashing are not optional and should appear as their own lines, since they are the difference between a wall that lasts and a callback in two winters.
What a siding invoice must contain
- Invoice number, issue date, due date and the elevations covered
- Squares of siding installed, by product, profile and colour
- Tear-off of existing cladding, by square, and its disposal
- Sheathing replaced by sheet count, billed against the agreed allowance
- House wrap and window flashing, itemised rather than assumed
- Trim, corner posts, J-channel and soffit by linear foot
- Openings — windows and doors — counted, as each carries its own detail
- Scaffolding or staging for second-storey elevations
Where siding invoices go unpaid
- Sheathing replacement billed with no photographs taken at tear-off
- Allowance exceeded without a call to the customer before the material was fitted
- Colour or profile match on a single elevation judged after installation
- Flashing folded into the siding line, so its value is invisible and then doubted
The estimate this invoice bills against
An invoice is only as defensible as the estimate it came from. BidWand writes the estimate from a plain description of the job — labour, materials, exclusions and assumptions — so the numbers on this invoice are ones the customer already agreed to.
Draft the siding estimate behind this invoice
This generates the estimate, not the invoice — describe the job and you get the itemised figures to bill from. No email needed to see the first one.
What you get — see the format first
A complete estimate you can send to the customer, built from the rate you enter:
| Description | Qty | Unit | Unit price | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labor — itemized by task | hrs | hour | your rate | — |
| Materials — with your markup applied | qty | ea / sq ft | cost + markup | — |
| Permits, disposal, access | — | — | — | — |
Plus a plain-English scope summary, assumptions (what had to be guessed), exclusions (what you are not doing — the section that prevents most change-order arguments), and a validity period. Printable, or send the link.
Every figure comes from the rate and markup you supply. We never fill in a market price for you.
