Invoicing that keeps pace with the board count
Whether it's a full new-build board-out or a small patch repair squeezed between bigger jobs, tracking who owes what across three different builder accounts gets messy fast. Log the boards and labour hours as you finish each site, and ServiceInvoice turns them into a branded invoice ready to send before the next load of plasterboard arrives.
No credit card required to start.
Why drywall contractors use ServiceInvoice
Suited to solo hangers and small crews juggling several builder accounts across different sites each week.
Bill by the board, the metre, or the room
Break it down per sheet or per square metre for a precise job, or send one fixed price for the whole room — set it up either way depending on how you quoted.
Materials tracked apart from labour
Standard, moisture-resistant, or fire-rated board, plus compound, tape, and beads, sit on their own lines away from your hanging and taping hours, so a builder can see exactly what a spec upgrade cost.
Never lose track of a builder account
The dashboard lists every invoice still outstanding, so a slow-paying builder on a bigger contract doesn’t quietly rack up while you’re already on their next site.
Bill every kind of drywall job
From a single patched-up ceiling to boarding out an entire new build, drywall work rarely gets billed the same way twice — here's how the invoice handles each one.
- One fixed-price invoice for a full room or a new-build board-out
- Small patch repairs billed by the hour instead of a flat rate
- Board type, compound, tape, and beads itemised individually so upgrades are visible
- Hanging, taping, and sanding hours shown as their own separate line
There's more to the job than the invoice, though — ServiceInvoice tracks every customer and site you've worked alongside it, as part of the broader business software, or, if you run bigger contracts with several trades on site, take a look at how it works for general contractors.
Everything a drywall invoice should itemise
Builders querying a drywall bill usually want to know two things: which rooms it covers, and why the board spec cost what it did. Put these five things on the invoice and both questions answer themselves.
- Rooms or areas covered
- Name each room, or the specific area of a bigger site, so a builder running several jobs with you at once can match the invoice to the work without ringing to ask.
- Board type and quantity
- Break out standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated, or soundboard sheets separately with their count and price, so a spec upgrade shows up as a number, not a guess.
- Compound, tape, and beads
- Keep joint compound, tape, corner beads, and fixings on lines of their own instead of folding them into the board price — nothing should be hidden inside a lump figure.
- The finish level reached
- Record whether the job was taped, skimmed, or finished to a specific numbered level, because a Level 5 feature wall and a Level 2 garage take very different amounts of labour.
- Labour and payment terms
- Put hanging, taping, and sanding hours on their own line, then add a due date and payment method — on a running builder account, clear terms per invoice stop things drifting.
Log the rooms, the boards, and the finish once, and ServiceInvoice assembles a complete invoice out of it while the compound's still drying. The same setup is there for plasterers and painters, the trades working either side of you on most sites.
