Common headaches for drywall contractors, and what this does about them
Customers who assume paint was included
Type it rough on your phone. It comes out as a proposal in about two minutes, with your company name, terms, and warranty already on it.
Writing the same texture-match note on every bid
Your terms, warranty, and fine print are saved once and go on every bid. Save the jobs you do often and start the next one from there.
Chasing a deposit before you buy the mud and board
The deposit is paid by card when they sign, so the money is down before you buy anything or put them on the schedule. Taking checks or Venmo instead works too.
What to spell out on a drywall contractor bid
Useful whatever you write your bids in. These are the lines that keep a job from turning into an argument.
- Finish level, and whether texture and paint are included
- Sheet count or square footage, and the thickness
- Whether you match an existing texture or the customer accepts a close match
- Dust control, floor protection, and cleanup
The argument on a drywall job is almost always about paint. Say in plain words whether the wall leaves primed, painted, or just finished.

Before you sign up.
Can I say the texture match is "close, not exact"?
Yes. Type it in your notes and it shows on the estimate word for word. It is the line that keeps a repair from becoming a repaint.
Do I need to itemize board, mud, and labor?
No. One price with the scope spelled out reads better and gets signed faster.
Is the signature legally binding?
Yes. The customer types their full name and clicks Accept, and we record the name, date, time, and the exact proposal they agreed to. That meets the U.S. E-SIGN Act, the same law behind DocuSign.
Does my customer need an app?
No. They tap the link in your text or email, the proposal opens in their phone's browser, they read it and sign.
Does it change what I wrote?
It fixes spelling and lays your notes out cleanly. It does not add scope, exclusions, or promises you didn't make.
