How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for remove and label fronts is 24 each × $18.00 = $432.00. 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 $5,476.00 . 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 fronts, exposed frame area and removable hardware; record the existing finish for adhesion preparation. Selection to verify: Specify coating, color, primer and whether new hardware is included as separate choices.

Assumptions and exclusions

Label each front before removal and plan off-site or staged curing before rehang.

Outside the stated scope: No cabinet replacement, internal box painting or countertop changes.

Peeling laminate or oil contamination may require more preparation than the base allowance. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
