Flat prices per task are easier for customers to approve; hourly pricing protects you on unclear jobs. Many handymen quote common tasks flat and bill unusual work hourly.
A quote is a fixed price for a clearly defined job; an estimate is an approximate price that can change. Use a quote when you know exactly what the job involves.
Your business details, the customer, a quote number and date, each item with price, taxes, the total, how long the quote is valid and your terms.
