How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for old sill removal is 3 each × $95.00 = $285.00. 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 $2,210.00. 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: Measure each sill length, projection, material and water-shedding detail. Selection to verify: Show matching sill product and sealant or flashing parts separately.
Assumptions and exclusions
Inspect frame support after old sill removal before cutting replacements.
Outside the stated scope: No whole-window replacement, masonry rebuild or concealed wall repair.
Rot inside the frame or wall changes the repair boundary. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
