Masonry invoice template
Masonry is unit-based work where material match and mortar specification carry most of the risk. Build one below — prefilled masonry services, payment terms, PDF download, and a public payment link.
How masonry invoicing actually works
Repair and restoration work lives or dies on match: brick size, colour and texture, and mortar colour and joint profile. Sourcing a match for an older building is genuine research time and sometimes reclaimed material at a premium. Bill it as its own line, because a customer comparing against a quote using standard stock brick is not comparing the same job.
Mortar specification is the technical point most often got wrong. Modern high-strength mortar on soft historic brick damages the brick rather than the joint. If you specified a softer lime-based mix for that reason, say so on the invoice — it explains a higher price and documents that the work was done correctly.
What belongs on a masonry 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.
- Unit count or square footage, with material
- Brick, block, natural stone or manufactured veneer, with size and type.
- Mortar type and joint profile
- Mix specification and joint finish — struck, concave, raked, flush.
- Match sourcing, where applicable
- Research and reclaimed material sourcing as its own line on repair and restoration work.
- Preparation and structural work
- Cutting out, lintels, ties, flashing, weep holes, and any temporary support.

Getting paid as a masonry
- Deposit covering material, especially where reclaimed or specially sourced units are involved.
- Stage larger projects against visible progress — foundation, wall height, capping.
- Set the expectation that a repair match will be visually close rather than identical, in writing, before starting.
Example invoice wording: Repaired masonry section, matched mortar, and cleaned work area.
Masonry invoicing questions
What should a masonry invoice include?
A masonry 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 masonry contractors 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 does masonry repair cost more than it looks like it should?
Mostly matching. Sourcing brick or stone that matches an existing building in size, colour and texture, and matching mortar colour and joint profile, is research and often premium reclaimed material — work that a quote using standard stock never has to do.
Does mortar type matter on a masonry invoice?
Considerably. Modern high-strength mortar used on soft older brick damages the brick instead of the joint. Recording the specified mix documents that the work was done correctly and explains why it cost more than a generic repoint.
