Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent clients from delaying my final payment once the pergola is finished?
Using a digital invoice allows you to send a real-time payment link the moment you finish the build; clients are much more likely to pay instantly via their phone while standing under their new structure than if they have to go inside and find a checkbook.
I'm tired of paying for expensive lumber out of my own pocket; what's the best way to handle material costs?
Digital invoicing platforms allow you to send a 'Deposit Invoice' for 50% of the total project cost that must be paid electronically before you even schedule the material delivery, ensuring your cash flow stays positive from day one.
What should I do if a client disputes a charge for 'extra' work requested during the build?
Digital invoices make it easy to add 'Change Order' line items on the fly; by sending an updated invoice for the additional work immediately, you create a digital paper trail that the client must acknowledge before you continue, reducing the chance of a dispute at the end of the job.
