1. Dallas-specific tax handling
- State sales tax: 6.25%. Local jurisdictions in Dallas may add their own rate — verify with your local tax assessor.
- Late fees: TX statute Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §2.207; Tex. Fin. Code §302.002 caps interest on unpaid invoices at 1.5% per month.
2. Standard insulation contractor line items
- Material — per sqft — billed by sqft.
- Labor — billed by hour (~$70 default).
- Removal of old insulation — billed by flat.
3. Payment terms that work in Dallas
Net 14 is standard for insulation contractors. Most insulation contractors in competitive markets like Dallas require a 30% deposit upfront before scheduling work. Accept card and ACH on the invoice itself — Dallas customers expect a one-click payment link in their inbox.
4. Licensing & disclosures
EPA certifications required for older homes. State licensing varies.
