Cabinetry and joinery
Quote custom cabinetry without eating the difference
Itemize the carcasses, the fronts, the hardware, and the finish, let the client price their own upgrades, and take a deposit before you order a sheet of material.
Where custom work loses money
-
One number hides the whole build
- A single price for a kitchen gives the client nothing to react to except the total, so the only conversation left to have is a discount.
-
Finish and hardware changes arrive late
- The client upgrades to soft-close and a painted finish after you have quoted, and the extra never makes it onto an invoice.
-
Material is bought before money arrives
- Sheet goods, hardware, and stone get ordered against a handshake, and your cash is in the shop before the client has paid anything.
How it works on a cabinetry job
-
1
Itemize the build
Break the quote into carcasses, doors and drawer fronts, hardware, finishing, and installation, so the client can see where the money goes.
-
2
Price the upgrades as options
Put the soft-close hardware, the painted finish, or the stone top in as optional items. The client selects them and the total recalculates itself.
-
3
Send a quote that survives review
The client opens a link, reads the line items, and e-signs the exact version they approved — including which options they chose.
-
4
Collect a deposit before you buy material
Require a percentage at acceptance so the stock order is funded by the client, not by you.
Made for itemized, made-to-order work

- Multiple tax rates, and tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive pricing by region
- Accepted quotes become invoices in QuickBooks or Xero automatically
Questions from cabinet shops
- Can the client choose between finishes in the quote?
- Yes. Choice groups let you offer alternatives — a laminate, a veneer, and a painted finish — and the client picks one. Optional items work the same way for add-ons.
- Can I take a deposit to cover materials?
- Yes. Set the quote to require 30%, 50%, or 100% at acceptance so material is ordered against money that has already cleared.
- Does the signature record which options they picked?
- Yes. The e-signature is captured against the accepted version of the quote, so the selected options are part of what was signed.
- Can I reuse pricing across jobs?
- Yes. Saved line items carry your standard sizes, hardware, and finish rates into every new quote.
