About the template
What this blinds installer quote template covers and why customers compare on substance
Blinds quotes lose work when 'whole house from $ X' is the only line. The template below shows each blind by room and dimensions, fabric or slat material, control type (chain, motor, smart-home), and the fitting labour.
Motorisation and smart-home control are the upsell. Quoting them as visible add-ons (rather than bundling) lifts attach rates and average order value.
What to include
Every blinds installers quote should have these lines
Use it as a checklist when you build your quote from scratch, or pull the QuoteGenio template that already has them.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on blinds installers quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Single 'whole house' total
Better: Itemise each blind by room and dimensions. Customers see each spec and can drop blinds if budget is tight.
Mistake: Fabric not named
Better: 5% openness sunscreen vs blockout differs by 30%+ in price. Always name the fabric.
Mistake: Mount type silent
Better: Recess vs face-fix differs in dimensions and fitting cost. State on every line.
Mistake: Motorisation bundled into install
Better: Motorisation is real material and time. Quote as a separate line so the upsell is visible.
Mistake: No removal of existing blinds line
Better: Removing old blinds is real labour. Quote separately so customer values it.
Mistake: Warranty period missing
Better: Manufacturer warranty on motors (5-year typical) and fabric (3-year typical). State on the quote.
