Quote the floor, bill the job

Install, sand, refinish. Priced by area, done over days, and often needing a deposit before the timber is ordered. QuixChex handles all three parts of that on one job record.

How a job runs

One Job, Start to Finish

Customer wants 900 square feet refinished. You quote off area, take a deposit, and book it. Your installer clocks in at the site over three days. The balance bills on completion, with those three days already costed on the job.

You quote 900 square feet
Priced off area at your own rate, not out of a spreadsheet somebody keeps on their own laptop.
The deposit covers the material
Taken on approval, so you are not buying the timber out of your own pocket and waiting to be made whole.
The balance bills on completion
Three installer days are already costed on the job by the time the final charge goes out.

Floor down. Material covered. Paid.

Material, Area and Stages

Material has to be bought before you're paid

Take a deposit when the job is booked, so the timber isn't coming out of your pocket while the job waits.

A refinish and an install are different jobs

Sanding and refinishing an existing floor bills differently from laying a new one, and both can sit on the same customer.

Area pricing lives in a spreadsheet

Quote off floor area at your own rate, and the estimate carries through to the invoice without being rebuilt.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Can I take a deposit for materials?

Yes. Split the job into a deposit and a balance so the timber is paid for before it's ordered, not after the job is done.

Can I quote per square foot?

Yes. Per-area pricing is your own rate on the line item, and the quantity is set when you build the job.

Does it handle multi-day jobs?

Yes. A job runs across as many days as it takes, and each installer goes on it with their day rate and the days they worked — half-days included.

My state taxes the material but not the labour. Can it split them?

No. One rate applies to the whole taxable amount, because the lines on a bid don’t say which of them is labour and which is material. What it does do is hold your rate and whatever you call it, let a single job be marked exempt, and carry an exemption on a customer with their certificate number beside it.

The customer won’t pay a deposit. Can the job go ahead anyway?

Yes. Waive it and the work carries on without one. The waiver is written into the job’s timeline with who did it and when, so it’s a decision on the record rather than an empty field — and if a deposit link had already gone out, waiving cancels it.

Halfway through a job, what does it say is left to collect?

The agreed price, with any approved changes folded in and tax on top, minus what has actually been collected. That’s worked out fresh each time rather than stored, so a change approved on Tuesday doesn’t leave last week’s figure on the screen. The margin sits beside it with the tax taken back out, because that part was never yours to keep.
