1. Idaho-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 6.00% state rate. Most services rendered in Idaho are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 6%; very few local sales taxes (resort cities only).
- Late-fee cap: Idaho statute Idaho Code §28-22-104 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month. Spell out the rate in writing on every invoice and in your contract — courts won't enforce undisclosed fees.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Idaho get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Flooring Installer line items + standard terms
Every flooring installer invoice in Idaho should itemize work clearly. Standard flooring installers use Net 14 terms with a 30% deposit required upfront.
- Removal of existing flooring — billed by itemized.
- Installation labor — billed by hour (~$65 default).
- Flooring material — billed by itemized.
- Trim & transitions — billed by itemized.
3. Flooring Installer licensing in Idaho
Most states require general contractor license over a threshold. Manufacturer certifications (e.g., NWFA) often expected.
4. Send and follow up
Send the invoice the same day work completes. Use software that records open events and offers a one-click online payment so you don't need to chase a check by mail. Idaho customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
