Most use either a price per square foot of wall area, a price per room, or hours × rate plus materials. Use the hourly rate calculator to check that your number covers overhead and taxes.
Yes. It makes the estimate easier to compare and lets you apply sales tax only to the materials where your state requires it.
On Pro ($12/month) your logo and brand color go on every estimate and invoice, with no LedgerLocal watermark.
