Put the extra work and the price in writing first

Why write it down

Small extras agreed in a hallway are easy to remember differently a week later, usually at invoice time. A text that names the added work and the price, with the customer’s “yes” underneath, is a simple record you both can see. It takes a minute and saves a hard conversation.

Send it before you do the work, not after. If the customer wants to change something, like doing the pantry door but not the laundry door, tell CrewBuddy and it rewrites the change order. Send the new version so the agreed one is the last one in the thread.

What CrewBuddy keeps

CrewBuddy keeps the change order with the job’s private record once you confirm it went out. When you finish the job, it reminds you to add the extra to the invoice. If the bill is late later, the payment reminder can list the original amount and the change order separately.

The draft describes only the work you described. If your note leaves out something that affects the price, like both sides of a door or a second coat, the check list at the bottom asks about it.

If the change is bigger, like a new room or different materials, a revised quote may fit better than a change order. CrewBuddy can rewrite the original quote with the new scope and total, and keep the earlier version with the job record.

Change orders come up often right after the first quote. The quote recipe includes a not-included section that makes the extras easier to talk about.
