Check the arithmetic
- Old trim removal: 4 openings × C$100.00 = C$400.00.
- Trim stock allowance: 100 linear ft. × C$14.00 = C$1,400.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$4,816.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$4,816.00 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.
Measurement to verify: Measure each opening perimeter, reveal depth and profile match. Product decision: Show trim stock and finish material separately from cutting and fitting.
The trim stock allowance line uses 100 linear ft., approximately 30.48 m. Check the route, cuts and supplier unit before setting a real quantity.
Assumptions and exclusions

Outside this example: No window unit replacement, plaster repair or finish painting.
Concealed damp or frame movement requires repair before new trim. Inspect the existing substrate, access and product selections at the property.
