About Contractor Handbook
A small site that publishes the paperwork US home service contractors need, as real downloadable files, with nothing gated behind an email address.
What we do
We publish blank templates and browser based generators for the documents contractors use every week: invoices, estimates, quotes, bids, lien waivers and contractor agreements. Every document is available as a PDF and, where it makes sense, as an editable Word or Excel file.
How it is free
The site carries display advertising. That is the entire business model. There is no paid tier, no account, no upsell and no list you get added to, because there is nothing to sell you.
Advertising also sets a limit we hold ourselves to: no popups over the page, no interstitials between you and the download, and no notification prompts. If an ad format would get between a contractor and the file they came for, it does not run here.
Your data
The generators run entirely in your browser. The PDF is assembled on your own device by JavaScript on the page, so the customer names, addresses and prices you type are never transmitted to this site or to anyone else. Your own business details are stored in your browser's local storage purely so you do not retype them, and you can clear them by clearing site data.
Accuracy
These are general templates. Construction and lien law is set at state level and varies considerably. We say so on the documents that need it, particularly the lien waivers, where twelve states prescribe statutory wording. Nothing here is legal advice.
Getting in touch
Corrections, a state form we have got wrong, or a document you need that is missing: the contact page is the place.
