How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for old hardware removal is 24 each × $5.00 = $120.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $1,288.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Count door and drawer fronts separately and confirm center spacing and existing holes. Selection to verify: List the selected hardware and any backing plates or hole repairs as explicit allowances.
Assumptions and exclusions
Test a marked template on one front and obtain approval before drilling the rest.
Outside the stated scope: No cabinet refacing, door replacement or refinishing of damaged fronts.
Old holes in the wrong position may need repair or different hardware. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
