Download your proposal:
Add your company, the plumbing customer, a job title, and a short project summary so the proposal opens with exactly what you are quoting.
Lay out good, better, and best — each with a price and a clear list of what is included. Mark one option as recommended to guide the customer toward the right choice.
Pick the option the customer selects, set the deposit percentage, and add a valid-until date so the price has a deadline. The deposit amount calculates automatically.
Add your terms, capture the prepared-by and accepted-by signatures, and export a polished PDF, Excel, or Word file the customer can sign off on.
On a water heater replacement or a repipe, a single price forces a yes-or-no answer — and "no, I need to think about it" is where jobs go to die. Offering options changes the conversation: a standard tank, a high-efficiency hybrid, and a tankless upgrade let the customer choose the level that fits their home and budget.
Tiered options also raise your average sale. When the premium option is on the page, the recommended middle choice feels sensible, and the customer who wants endless hot water has a clear path to it. Show what each tier includes, mark your recommendation, and let the customer buy up.

A plumbing proposal presents a bigger job — a replacement, upgrade, or install — as a clear set of options the customer can choose from, each with a price and what it includes. Unlike a single-line quote, it lets the customer buy up or down and makes the recommended option obvious.
Giving three tiers moves the conversation from "yes or no" to "which one." It anchors value, lets budget-conscious customers still say yes, and gives the buyer who wants the best a reason to spend more. Contractors who present options consistently close larger average tickets.
A quote is a single fixed price for a defined scope. A proposal presents multiple options with features and a recommendation, and is used for larger, considered purchases where the customer is choosing between levels of quality or scope. Use a quote to confirm one job; use a proposal to sell a replacement or upgrade.
Yes. A deposit secures the commitment and funds your material order; a valid-until date creates healthy urgency and protects you from honoring old pricing as costs rise. This template calculates the deposit from the selected option and has a valid-until field built in.
