[See It in a Demo](/book-demo)[Estimate Follow-Up](/estimate-follow-up) 01 ### Scope of work Plain-English description of exactly what the crew is going to do. Square footage, thickness, base prep, edge treatment, transitions, and anything specifically excluded. The clearer this is, the fewer change-order fights you have later. 02 ### Materials and specifications Mix design (state DOT spec when applicable), base material and depth, tack coat, and any reinforcement. Sophisticated commercial buyers expect this. Homeowners do not need it but it builds trust when included. 03 ### Timeline and weather contingency Tentative start date, expected duration in working days, and a plain statement that weather can push the schedule. Set the expectation before you sign, not the day you call to reschedule. 04 ### Pricing and payment terms Total price, deposit, progress payments if applicable, and final payment timing. Late fees if you charge them. Acceptable payment methods. Make this section unambiguous. 05 ### Warranty Most reputable asphalt warranties cover workmanship for 1 to 2 years. Exclude things you cannot control: settling under heavy unexpected loads, fuel and oil staining, frost heave, root damage. Be specific. 06 ### Signature block and e-sign link Send the estimate as a clickable e-signable document, not a PDF attachment. Signed estimates close 3x faster than PDFs because there is one click between yes and booked. ## What to leave out - Detailed labor-hour math (homeowners do not want it) - Internal job-cost markups (none of the customer's business) - Hedged language like 'approximately' on prices you intend to honor - Disclaimers longer than the scope (it reads as defensive) - Logos and branding that pushes scope below the fold ## FAQ ### Is an asphalt estimate template a contract? ### Should an estimate include a price breakdown? ### How long should an estimate be valid? ### Does GoPave generate estimates? ## Estimates do not close themselves The format gets you partway. The follow-up sequence is what actually closes them. See how GoPave runs the follow-up loop for you.
