Glass and mirror installation

Glass and Mirror Installation Invoice Template (Free)

By ShowTheReceipts · Updated

Short answer

A glass installation invoice needs the glass type, thickness, and square footage, edging and tempering, holes and notches for hardware, hardware itemized by finish, removal and disposal of the old glass, any after-hours call-out fee, the deposit taken at order subtracted, and a note when dimensions were customer-supplied. Copy the template below, or use software that carries the approved quote into the invoice.

Custom-cut glass is non-returnable once fabricated.

Tempered glass is finished before it’s tempered — it cannot be trimmed afterward. Customers don’t know that, and the sentence on the invoice is what makes the deposit terms feel like physics rather than policy.

Name the finish

“Hardware — $340” invites a question. “Shower hinges and handle, brushed brass — $340” answers it, and reminds the customer that the upgrade was their choice.

Skipping the copy-paste

Software with your glass rates by type and thickness, hardware sets, and after-hours rate saved builds this from the approved quote with the deposit already applied.

Frequently asked questions

Why note customer-supplied dimensions?

Because tempered glass cut to a wrong measurement is a total loss, and the only defense is a written record of whose number it was. One line on the quote and the invoice turns an unwinnable argument into a settled fact.

Should the after-hours fee be itemized?

Yes, at the rate quoted on the phone before you drove. An emergency call-out billed as a visible line is a service that was provided; buried in a labor total it just looks like the price went up at night.

How do I invoice a board-up and the permanent glass?

As two invoices. Bill the board-up on the night, when the customer is present and grateful, and invoice the permanent glass against its own deposit when it's ordered. Combining them delays the part you already earned.
