WhatsApp Quote Template: Copy, Paste, and Send in 60 Seconds

Six ready-to-use templates for every job type. Swap the brackets, hit send, book the job.

Last updated: March 26, 2026

Every minute you spend formatting a quote is a minute your competitor is spending closing one. These WhatsApp quote templates eliminate that gap. Copy the one that fits, swap the brackets with your job details, and send it. Under 60 seconds, every time.

These templates are designed to work with the full whatsapp quoting workflow β€” but they stand on their own if you just need to fire off a quick price.

Template 1: Small Job / Quick Fix

For jobs under $300 where the scope is clear and the client just needs a number.

Hey [Name] β€” for the [job description], it's $[amount] all-in (parts + labor). I can get it done [day/time]. Want me to lock it in? ⚑

When to use it: Faucet swaps, outlet replacements, small drywall patches, caulking jobs. Anything you’ve done a hundred times and can price on the spot.

Template 2: Standard Itemized Quote

The workhorse. Use this for most residential service jobs between $200 and $2,000.

Hi [Name], thanks for reaching out! Here's your quote for [service]:

πŸ”§ [Service description]
β€’ Materials: $[amount]
β€’ Labor: $[amount]
β€’ Total: $[amount]

⏱️ Estimated time: [X hours/days]
πŸ“… This quote is valid until [date]

Ready to book? Just say the word and I'll get you on the schedule. πŸ‘

When to use it: Plumbing repairs, electrical panel work, HVAC tune-ups, painting projects β€” anything that needs a clear breakdown.

Template 3: Large Project with Deposit

For jobs over $1,000 where you need a deposit to hold the schedule and order materials.

Hi [Name], here's your quote for [project]:

πŸ“‹ Scope of work:
β€’ [Line item 1] β€” $[amount]
β€’ [Line item 2] β€” $[amount]
β€’ [Line item 3] β€” $[amount]

πŸ’° Total: $[amount]
πŸ“… Timeline: [X days], starting [proposed date]
πŸ”’ A 25% deposit ($[amount]) reserves your spot

Balance due on completion. This quote is valid until [date].

Want to move forward? I'll send you the deposit details. πŸ”§

When to use it: Bathroom remodels, full repipes, exterior painting, deck builds, HVAC installations. Anything where materials need to be ordered in advance.

Template 4: Quote with Options (Good / Better)

Give the client control. Offering two tiers increases close rates because they’re choosing which option, not whether to hire you.

Hi [Name], I put together two options for your [project]:

Option A β€” Standard:
β€’ [Description + materials]
β€’ Total: $[amount]

Option B β€” Premium:
β€’ [Description + upgraded materials/scope]
β€’ Total: $[amount]

Both include cleanup and a [X]-year warranty on labor.
Let me know which works best and I'll get you scheduled. πŸ‘

When to use it: Flooring (laminate vs. hardwood), painting (1 coat vs. 2), fixture upgrades, any job where material tiers exist.

Template 5: Follow-Up Nudge

Sent 24-48 hours after your original quote. Short, friendly, non-pushy.

Hey [Name], just checking in on the quote I sent for [service] ($[amount]). Any questions I can answer? I've got availability [this week/next week] if you'd like to move forward. 😊

When to use it: Every single time a client doesn’t respond within 24 hours. Seriously β€” this one message recovers 20-30% of silent quotes.

Template 6: Booking Confirmation

Once they say yes, lock it down immediately. Don’t let the deal cool off.

Confirmed! Here are the details:

βœ… Service: [description]
πŸ“… Date: [day, date]
⏰ Time: [arrival window]
πŸ“ Address: [address]
πŸ’° Total: $[amount]

Please [any prep: clear the area, unlock the gate, secure pets, etc.]. See you then! πŸ”§

When to use it: Every time a client approves a quote. No exceptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these templates in WhatsApp Business? expand_more
Yes. These templates work in both regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business. In WhatsApp Business, you can save them as quick replies so you don't even have to copy-paste β€” just type a shortcut and the template auto-fills.
Should I send a text quote or a PDF? expand_more
For jobs under $500, a text quote is fast and effective. For larger jobs, send both β€” a text summary in the chat plus a PDF attachment with your logo and full breakdown. The PDF adds credibility and gives clients something to save.
How do I save templates for quick access? expand_more
Three options: (1) Use WhatsApp Business quick replies, (2) Save them in your phone's notes app, or (3) Use Nalo to skip templates entirely β€” just tell it the job details and it generates the quote for you.
What should I include in every quote template? expand_more
Five things minimum: (1) The service description, (2) Itemized pricing, (3) Estimated timeline, (4) Expiration date, and (5) A clear call to action. Miss any of these and your close rate drops.
Do these templates work for commercial clients too? expand_more
Yes, but for commercial work you'll typically want to use the large project template with deposit and always attach a PDF. Commercial clients often need something they can forward to a decision-maker or attach to a purchase order.
