What should a contractor proposal include?
A complete contractor proposal includes: executive summary (project overview and your qualifications), detailed scope of work (what is included and explicitly excluded), project timeline with key milestones, itemized pricing breakdown, payment schedule and terms, warranty or guarantee terms, and a signature section. Proposals that are vague on scope consistently lead to disputes — specificity protects both parties.
How do I price my contractor services?
Base your pricing on fully-loaded hourly costs (labor, overhead, equipment, insurance, profit margin) multiplied by estimated hours, plus material costs with markup. Research competitor pricing for similar projects in your market. Never discount your standard rate for your first project with a client — it sets an expectation you cannot easily raise later. Use the Service Estimate Generator to build itemized estimates that justify your rates transparently.
How do I follow up on an unanswered proposal?
Send a polite follow-up email 3-4 business days after submitting the proposal. Reference a specific detail from your conversation to personalize it. Ask if they have questions or need any clarification. Follow up a second time 5-7 days later. If there is still no response, one final message offering to schedule a call to discuss is appropriate. After three attempts without response, move on — your time is better spent on interested prospects.
