1. West Virginia-specific invoice requirements
- Sales tax line: 6.00% state rate. Services billed to WV customers must include sales tax. State 6%; many services taxable; combined 6-7%.
- Late-fee cap: West Virginia statute W. Va. Code §47-6-5 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 West Virginia get 72-hour cancellation rights on certain home-services contracts. Disclose this in your terms.
2. Mason line items + standard terms
Every mason invoice in West Virginia should itemize work clearly. Standard masons use Net 14 terms with a 33% deposit required upfront.
- Labor — billed by hour (~$80 default).
- Brick / stone / block — billed by itemized.
- Mortar & supplies — billed by itemized.
3. Mason licensing in West Virginia
Specialty contractor license required in many states. Bond often required for commercial work.
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. West Virginia customers expect digital payment options today — accepting card and ACH typically reduces days-to-paid by 30–50%.
