General quote and estimate forms first, then job costing, then trade-specific sheets. Licenses and availability can change, so read each publisher's terms before you redistribute anything. We left out ProjectManager's construction estimate because its download asks for your email, and ArcSite's because its download sits behind a form we couldn't confirm was optional.
Contractor estimate template
by Measured Bid
ExcelSheetsCSVPDF
Built for exterior jobs: a measurements block, eight line items priced as quantity times unit price, two optional add-ons kept outside the total, a discount or access-charge percentage, a job minimum and sales tax. Scope, exclusions, a valid-until date and a signature line finish it. Comes with a blank tab and a worked example, plus a printable blank PDF for the clipboard.
Catch: No email or account needed, and we didn't spot an upsell on the page. For Sheets, use File, Import, Upload with the .xlsx.
Quote template for small businesses
by TonyAIProfit
ExcelSheetsFree
Up to 10 line items with subtotal, discount, sales tax and total worked out for you, plus a deposit percentage and a valid-until date that fills in 30 days out. There's a terms block for what's not included and how changes are handled, and a signature line. The page also has a plain-English walkthrough of writing a quote.
Catch: The .xlsx downloads directly and there's a make-a-copy link for Google Sheets. The page also has an optional newsletter sign-up box and promotes a paid kit; you don't need either for the template.
Price quote template
by Vertex42
ExcelSheetsFree
Two designs on separate tabs, adapted from Vertex42's invoice templates: one simple, one with unit costs and quantities. Includes a sample new-client discount line, a terms and conditions block and a customer signature line. The page explains how a quote differs from an invoice.
Catch: Free download with no sign-up. The license is private use only (no redistribution). The Google Sheets link first asks you to mark Vertex42 as a preferred Google source, which you can skip.
Job estimate template
by Vertex42
ExcelSheetsWordFree
For when you can't promise a fixed price yet. It matches Vertex42's billing invoice layout, and the footer note says the estimate isn't a contract and that you'll check with the customer before extra work. Good for repair and service jobs where the final price depends on what you find.
Catch: Free, no sign-up, private-use license. Last updated by the publisher in 2021, so it's plain-looking but still works.
Construction estimate templates (collection)
by Smartsheet
ExcelSheetsWordPDF
One page with simple, residential, commercial, contractor, remodeling, roofing, electrical and painting estimate sheets. The bigger ones split costs by project phase with labor, materials, markup and contingency, and some come in blank and filled-in versions.
Catch: Direct file downloads with no email. Smartsheet sells project software, so the page has trial and demo buttons throughout. Not every template has a Google Sheets version; upload the .xlsx if not.
Job cost estimate and estimate-vs-actual workbook
by MarginJob
ExcelFree
Three tabs: a job estimate that builds price from materials, subcontractors, burdened labor, equipment, permits, overhead and target profit; an estimate-vs-actual tab that shows where a finished job went over; and a read-me checklist. Useful for checking whether your quotes actually make money.
Catch: No email required. It deliberately leaves out state-specific rates like workers' comp and unemployment tax, so you fill in your own numbers.
Estimate template for Excel
by MakeMyEstimate
ExcelWordPDF
A single sheet with your business details, bill-to, estimate number, date and valid-until date, 15 line rows, then subtotal, discount, tax and total as live formulas. The page also shows how to add cost and markup columns, with a clear note that a 20% markup is only about a 16.7% margin.
Catch: Free with no sign-up and no watermark. US letter size. For Sheets, upload the .xlsx to Drive.
Handyman estimate template
by Build with Dave
ExcelFree
A blank estimate and a filled-in $400 repair-visit example in one file. Line totals, per-line tax, the estimate total, a proposed deposit and the remaining balance calculate for you, with room for scope, exclusions and payment terms.
Catch: No email or account needed. The site belongs to a business tool, so expect prompts for its other products.
Remodeling estimate template
by ShiftFlow
ExcelSheetsPDF
One worksheet from business details to customer sign-off, with 10 rows set up for demolition, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, flooring and finishes. Amounts, subtotal, tax, total and deposit fill in, and there's space for allowances, optional work, schedule and warranty.
Catch: No email required. ShiftFlow sells scheduling and time-tracking software and the page advertises its free trial.
Painting estimate template
by PaintPricing
ExcelFree
Interior, exterior and summary tabs. Enter room sizes, doors and windows and it works out paintable square feet, gallons, labor hours, materials, direct cost and your price after markup. All formulas are visible, no macros, so you can swap in your own coverage and production rates.
Catch: Direct .xlsx with no email. PaintPricing sells an app that automates the same math, and the article promotes it.
