Cabinet Installer invoice template
Cabinet installation is priced per unit with scribing and out-of-square walls as the real labour. Build one below — prefilled cabinet installer services, payment terms, PDF download, and a public payment link.
How cabinet installer invoicing actually works
The catalogue price is boxes; the installation is fitting rectangular boxes to walls and floors that are neither flat nor square. Scribing, shimming, filler strips and levelling a run so the doors align is the craft, and it is invisible in the finished kitchen. Pricing per cabinet with a named allowance for fitting is how that work stays visible.
Sequencing matters commercially. Cabinets go in before countertops are templated, and appliance and plumbing rough-ins have to be right beforehand. Note the dependencies on the invoice or the schedule slip becomes your problem.
What belongs on a cabinet installer invoice
Beyond the universals — your details, the customer's details, a unique invoice number, dates, totals and payment terms — these are the lines that matter in this trade.
- Cabinet count by type
- Base, wall, tall, and any specialty units, with sizes.
- Fitting work: scribing, shimming, fillers
- The labour that makes stock boxes fit real walls.
- Hardware and accessories
- Hinges, pulls, soft-close, drawer inserts, lighting — installed count.
- Removal and disposal of existing
- Plus any wall repair exposed by removal, noted separately.

Getting paid as a cabinet installer
- Where you supply cabinets, take a deposit covering the order — cabinets are made to a specific kitchen.
- Bill installation separately from countertop templating and fitting; they are different visits with different dependencies.
- Hold a final adjustment visit back explicitly. Doors and drawers need alignment after the kitchen settles, and planning for it prevents it reading as a defect.
Example invoice wording: Installed cabinets, adjusted doors, attached hardware, and cleaned work area.
Cabinet Installer invoicing questions
What should a cabinet installer invoice include?
A cabinet installer invoice should include your business details, the customer's contact information, itemized services, materials or fees, taxes, payment terms, a due date, and a clear total due.
Can cabinet installers send invoices from a phone?
Yes. BillingDone is designed for fast mobile invoice creation so you can create, send, and collect payment while you are still on site.
Can I save common services?
Yes. Start with the built-in Quick Add Invoice Library, then save custom services, prices, and descriptions for your own repeat work.
Why is cabinet installation charged separately from the cabinets?
Because fitting stock rectangular units into walls and floors that are out of square and out of level is the actual craft — scribing, shimming and filler work that is invisible once the kitchen is finished but accounts for most of the labour.
When are countertops measured relative to cabinet installation?
After the cabinets are installed and levelled, since templating relies on the finished base. Noting that dependency on the invoice or schedule keeps the sequencing problem from landing on you.
