Handyman paperwork
The paperwork a solo handyman actually keeps between the front door and the truck.
A working handyman closes a visit with a handshake and a business card, and the client never sees anything in writing about what was actually done. The invoice arrives three weeks later, the total is three hundred dollars higher than the verbal quote, and the client asks for the line-item breakdown. There is none — it was a handshake on the front porch. The Gridpin handyman paperwork is one sign-off form per visit, front-to-back, in the order a solo operator walks through the job — with US Letter and A4 layouts and a single commercial-use license.
HM-05 is the anchor: per-visit client, scope, parts, hours, deposit, and dual sign-off — HM-02 rides alongside it for the homeowner quote, CC-01 for the contract and change-order log when the scope grows, and HNDY-01 bundles all twenty working-handyman forms (HM-02, HM-05, the quote sheet, the material pick list, the deposit receipt, the after-service callback, and the customer follow-up card) under one license. Drafted on a clipboard by a working handyman. Not a generic invoice template with a handyman sticker on it.

What a handyman kit carries
Four sections a solo handyman actually fills out on a real visit.
The kit follows the order a solo operator actually walks the job — quote on the kitchen counter, per-visit service record from the front door to the truck, contract and change-order log when the scope grows, and the walk-through punch list before the second-visit text lands. No duplicate fields, no “create your own” rows, no AI-generated trade-buzzword filler.
- Quote / proposal
A two-page quote a solo handyman tears out and fills in at the kitchen counter.
Line items, allowances, exclusions, deposit, payment schedule, dual signature block for client and contractor — the rows that stop the “why is the final bill $400 over the quote?” phone call. Allowance column lets you put a number with “TBD” next to it without losing the rest of the quote.
- Service form / per-visit record
One sheet per visit, in the order a solo operator walks from the front door to the truck.
Client, address, visit date, scope on the top row; labor hours and material cost in the middle; parts and itemized charges below; a dual sign-off block at the bottom for both the client and the operator, plus a deposit / balance split so the client sees exactly what is owed today versus what is invoiced later.
- Contract / change order
A contract and a change-order log short enough to fit on a single read.
Parties, project, contract sum, NTP, retainage, payment schedule — on the front page. Schedule of values, change-order log, closeout punch list, and the witness-initials row — on the back. The “did we agree to that?” argument the handshake couldn’t settle, settled on paper before the drywall shows up.
- Punch list / follow-up
A walk-through and a follow-up card the solo operator hands the client on the way out.
Room-by-room walk — kitchen, bath, trim, paint — with photo slots and callback lines. Deposit receipt on the front, after-service callback sheet on the back. The two pieces of paper a solo handyman actually hands a homeowner before the second-visit text lands.

Field-language quotes from the people who actually carry the kit on the truck, between the truck and the gate, or between rounds — not a marketing-pull-quote deck, not an after-the-fact testimonial swap.
A working handyman used to close a visit with a handshake and a business card, and the client never saw what was actually done. HM-05 puts client, scope, parts, hours, deposit, and dual sign-off on one sheet. The "why is the final bill $400 higher?" phone call stopped.

The HM-02 quote sheet is the one I tear out of the binder and edit in Word on the laptop in the truck between the front door and the kitchen counter. Allowance column with TBD next to it is the difference between a quoted job and a change-order argument.

The walk-through and after-service callback sheets at the back of HNDY-01 are the two pieces of paper I actually hand a homeowner. They get the deposit receipt on the way in, the follow-up card on the way out, and the second-visit text lands while I’m still in the truck.
