An electrical contractor contract for residential work needs eight things on one or two pages: the parties and the licence number, the scope written as the work, the price and what changes it, the payment schedule, the permit and inspection responsibility, the schedule, the warranty, and the signatures. The electrician estimate calculator on this site produces the priced scope the contract wraps, free and without an account; BreakerDesk Pro files the signed contract against the property with the job.

The scope, written as the work
Replace the 100-amp panel with a 200-amp service, new grounding electrode system, permit and inspection included, drywall repair excluded: verbs and counts a customer can check on the day, because every unwritten assumption becomes an argument at the invoice.
The price and the changes
The contract price from the estimate, and the rule for changes: work found behind walls is priced as a written change order, accepted before it is done. The change-order rule is the clause that saves the relationship.
Money, permits, schedule, warranty
Deposit within the state's limits, progress payment at rough-in, balance at final inspection; who pulls the permit; the start window; the workmanship warranty beside the manufacturer's. Each its own line, each initialed where the state expects it.
Signed and filed
Both signatures, the licence number on the face, and the contract filed with the estimate, the change orders and the invoice against the property. Pro keeps that file. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Tradify lists Lite at $47, Pro at $51 and Plus at $61 per user per month; Jobber lists Core at $49 per month for one user with additional users at $29 each; Housecall Pro lists Basic at $59 per month billed annually or $79 monthly. BreakerDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.
Electrical contractor contract: common questions
Do small electrical jobs need a contract?
Anything beyond a service call benefits from one page of scope, price and terms; many states require written contracts above set amounts.
Who pulls the permit?
Usually the contractor, and the contract should say so explicitly.
Is the estimate tool free?
Yes, with no account. Pro files the signed contract against the property.
