sir i feel you need to go to nebs.com or staples and get propsoal sheets list reuqired work removal and in need be how and when it is to be completed once signed it is legally binding and treated like a contract. as far as estiamtes i either go by voulme or weight 1 yard $55 etc or 1 ton for XXX and so on and so on.

This thread is a bit old. I used the kind of sheets that I created myself, and had my lawyer look over. However, to save on paper, I simply provide a verbal estimate. Then if they agree, it all goes on an estimate/invoice, and then we both sign.

No disrespect intended, but I have been owning companies since I was a teenager with my father. When I first started this company, I only did metal removal and did it 100% free of cost to all customers.

Then, when I moved into junk and electronic recycling and started to charge, then I decided to come up with all the proper documents. I asked the original question, so I could see what forms other companies on here were using, so I could give my lawyers a better understanding and idea of what I needed.

I do agree with you, that depending on what you will be doing, and know that contracts and forms will be used, either draft them yourself and have a lawyer proof them to make sure they will hold up in court, or shell out the extra cash and have a lawyer do it all.

luckily you can usually tell who these people are the moment they call, i love hanging up on these people... 10minutes of bull**** then all of a sudden "your an idiot" *click*
