As an artisan, your craft is detailed, and your invoicing should reflect that level of care. An upholstery and furniture restoration invoice is more than a receipt; it’s a professional record of the painstaking labor, custom materials, and specialized skills required to breathe new life into a piece. You need this document the moment a project wraps up, or when securing a deposit for high-end commissions. A great restoration invoice doesn't just list a single lump sum. Instead, it builds trust by clearly breaking down the costs of yards of fabric, foam density, spring replacements, and the hours of dedicated craftsmanship you put in. By presenting a polished, itemized breakdown, you honor your expertise, protect your margins, and reassure your clients that their beloved family heirloom or vintage find was in the hands of a true professional.
Standard industry practice is to buy fabric at wholesale prices and charge the client retail pricing, typically a 30% to 50% markup. This markup covers your time spent sourcing, measuring, and inspecting the textile for flaws, and should be rolled into the fabric line item on the final bill.
Yes, stripping old fabric and removing thousands of staples is highly labor-intensive and occasionally reveals hidden frame damage. Separating this charge ensures the client understands the labor involved before the rebuilding process even begins.
The most secure payment structure is a 50% non-refundable deposit upfront to cover materials, with the remaining 50% due immediately upon completion or before delivery. Never release the finished furniture to the client until the final invoice is paid in full.
Sales tax requirements vary by state, but generally, you must charge sales tax on the tangible materials used, like fabric and foam. In many jurisdictions, pure labor for repair services is exempt, so keeping labor and materials separate on your invoice simplifies your tax reporting.
