Estimate, quote or bid
Say what your paper means: write "fixed price", or say how the price can change. Ask your state board or a lawyer what binds you. How much over an estimate can a contractor go shows two state examples.
How to choose
Start from the trade closest to the job, because its sample lines, exclusions and rules are already filled in. When the customer says yes, the invoice pages take the same lines. Estimate vs invoice explains when to send each paper.
