A painters quote template, measured by the square foot.

Prep, walls, ceilings, trim and paint each get a line, measured by the square foot or by the piece. The generator works out GST and QST, adds the deposit and makes the PDF.

Questions4 answered

Common questions

Short answers.

01Per square foot or per room?

Either. Measure by the square foot for walls and ceilings, or write one flat-rate line per room: the unit is chosen line by line.

02Does a painter need an RBQ licence number on the quote?

If your work requires an RBQ licence, the Régie asks that its number appear on your quotes. Put it in the Notes field.

03Do I add GST and QST?

Only if you are registered for the GST and the QST. Registration becomes mandatory when your taxable sales pass $30,000 in one calendar quarter or over the four calendar quarters before it. Below that, you are a small supplier: switch off “I charge taxes” and the document comes out without taxes.

04Is the generator really free?

Yes. No account, no email to hand over. What you type stays in your browser until you download; the PDF is then drawn on our server and sent back to you. We do not keep your documents.
