What's in the kit and where to start.
Start Here
A short plan for getting to your first written quote: a go/no-go list before any install date, a table of things that take time, fill-in flyer text, your first house step by step, and lease versus customer-buys.
Quote and Contract Calculator
Eight tabs: Inputs, Quote, Contract years (lease vs customer buys), Crew & margin, Season plan, Power check, Summary and Install record, plus dated price bands for context.
Summary: six checks
Each check shows GREEN, AMBER, RED or INCOMPLETE, so you can see what's still missing before you send a quote.
Season plan
Lays out when to sell, buy, install, take down and store, and whether installs finish by your target date.
Safety, Insurance & Signs Checklist
What should be in place before anyone climbs, with the OSHA and CPSC points it's based on and a reminder to check local sign rules.
What Your Agreement Should State
A list of terms your written agreement with a customer should cover. It's a checklist, not a contract.
Good to know before you buy
Who it's for
Home-service operators adding winter work, and people already planning to install lights who want to price jobs properly.
What it isn't
Not a full launch kit, not a contract, and not legal, insurance or safety advice. It doesn't promise bookings or income.
Your numbers
The calculator uses your prices and your supplier's costs. Dated price bands are context only, never defaults.
Software
A spreadsheet app and a PDF reader. The calculator has been tested in LibreOffice Calc. It hasn't been tested yet in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets or Apple Numbers.
