1. Virginia-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 4.30% state rate. Most services rendered in Virginia are exempt from sales tax — but materials, parts, and tangible goods are not. State 4.3% + mandatory 1% local + regional adds. Combined 5.3-7%.
- Late-fee cap: Virginia statute Va. Code §6.2-301 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.
- Written contract required: Virginia requires a signed agreement for any job over $1,000. Reference the contract number on the invoice.
- Right-to-cancel notice: Customers in Virginia get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Glazier line items + standard terms
Every glazier invoice in Virginia should itemize work clearly. Standard glaziers use Net 14 terms with a 30% deposit required upfront.
- Glass material — billed by itemized.
- Labor — billed by hour (~$80 default).
- Disposal of old glass — billed by flat (~$75 default).
3. Glazier licensing in Virginia
Specialty contractor license required in most states for storefront and structural glass.
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. Virginia customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
