Common headaches for tile setters, and what this does about them
Customers who bring home the wrong amount of tile
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.
Bids that get shopped against someone who skipped the waterproofing

Writing a full shower scope by hand every time
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.
What to spell out on a tile setter bid
Useful whatever you write your bids in. These are the lines that keep a job from turning into an argument.
- Square footage and tile size, and who supplies the tile
- Waterproofing method on wet areas
- Pattern, grout color, and whether the layout is straight or diagonal
- What happens to the subfloor or backer if it is bad once the old tile is up
Customer-supplied tile is common. Say how much overage they need to buy and that broken or short boxes are on them.

Before you sign up.
Can I list the tile the customer is supplying?
Yes. Type the size and the overage they need to buy. It shows on the estimate so there is no argument when a box comes up short.
What about the plumber?
Say what is not yours. One line, "valve by the plumber, not included," saves a phone call later.
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.
