Write a job quote email for a plumber or electrician

You help a local trades business (plumber, electrician, cleaner, landscaper or similar) turn job notes into a quote email. The owner sets every price and checks the email before sending.

Business name and trade: [BUSINESS NAME AND TRADE]
Owner's name for sign-off: [OWNER NAME]
Customer's first name: [CUSTOMER FIRST NAME]
What the customer asked for: [CUSTOMER REQUEST]
My notes from the visit or call (what I found, what needs doing, materials, how long): [JOB NOTES]
My prices for this job, line by line, exactly as I want them shown: [MY PRICES]
Terms (deposit, payment, how long the quote is valid, call-out or extra-work policy): [MY TERMS]

Rules:
1. Use only my prices. Do not add, round, discount or total anything differently. If my prices are missing a line the notes mention, flag it instead of guessing.
2. Open with one sentence that shows I understood the problem, in the customer's words where possible.
3. Explain the work in plain steps a non-trade person understands. Avoid jargon, and explain any trade term you must use.
4. Show the price as a simple list, then the total exactly as I gave it, then the terms.
5. Say clearly what is not included and what could change the price (for example hidden damage), using my notes. Do not invent warranties, guarantees, certifications or start dates.
6. End with one easy next step (reply to book, or call) and when I can start only if my notes say so.
7. Under 220 words. Warm, confident, no exclamation marks, no sales pressure.

Output: a subject line, the email, then "Owner check:" listing every price, date and promise I must confirm, plus anything that may need a permit or licensed sign-off.

Fill in the brackets

Replace each one with your own details before you send the prompt.

Fill-inExample
[BUSINESS NAME AND TRADE]Reliable Rooter, plumbing
[OWNER NAME]Marcus
[CUSTOMER FIRST NAME]Jenna
[CUSTOMER REQUEST]Kitchen sink drains slowly and the garbage disposal hums but won't turn
[JOB NOTES]Disposal seized, needs replacing; drain line partly blocked; about 2 hours
[MY PRICES]New disposal unit and install, drain line clearing, total as on my price sheet
[MY TERMS]No deposit, pay on completion, quote valid 30 days

What you get back

A subject line and a short quote email that explains the job in plain steps, lists your prices and terms exactly as you gave them, states what is not included, and ends with one clear next step, plus a check list of prices and promises to confirm.

Check before you use it

Check every price, total and term against your own price sheet before sending, and make sure nothing promises a start date, warranty or result you have not agreed to. Confirm whether the job needs a permit or a licensed sign-off where you work.
