How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for repair labor is 4 hours × $95.00 = $380.00. 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 $1,290.00. 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: Record pipe material, diameter, leak location and access dimensions; distinguish visible from concealed sections. Selection to verify: Choose compatible repair fittings after identifying the pipe and isolate finish repair as a separate line.
Assumptions and exclusions
Shut off water, expose the joint, repair and test before closing access.
Outside the stated scope: No whole-house repiping, water-damage restoration or hidden leak tracing.
Multiple leaks or corrosion extending beyond the opening trigger a new scope. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
