Carpentry proposal templates
A polished proposal for carpenters and finish woodworkers — itemized, branded and ready to send for e-signature. Use it for fence repair, deck and pergola builds, custom cabinetry, trim carpentry and more. Fine woodwork, built by hand.
Carpentry proposal designs
Each carpentry proposal uses the Walnut & Brass palette with an elegant serif heading, a tinted line-item table and clear totals. Placeholders like [Client Name] and [Date] fill in automatically when you use a workflow.

Why carpenters and finish woodworkers use DonForge
DonForge puts the proposal in the same file as the rest of the job: the estimate, the flyer, the photos and the signed contract. Change your phone number once in the brand kit and every template picks it up. Send a client one link where they can review, comment and sign. When the estimate is approved, a workflow can create the contract and the invoice automatically.
What to include on your carpentry proposal
- Your business name, logo, license number and contact details in the header.
- The customer’s name, job address and a job or reference number.
- Itemized lines for custom cabinetry, built-in shelving, crown & trim with quantities and rates.
- Subtotal, tax, any deposit received and the balance due.
- Payment terms, accepted methods and a signature line.
Every DonForge carpentry proposal already has these pieces in place, written for carpenters and finish woodworkers, so you only replace the details. Your brand kit fills in the logo, colors and phone number automatically, and the file autosaves as you work.
