An estimate, also called a quote, is a document that tells a customer what a job or order is expected to cost before the work begins. It lists the work and materials, prices, terms and how long the offer is valid, and the customer can sign it to approve the job.
Includes all labor and listed materials. Excludes permit fees and any hidden water damage found during demolition. 30% deposit due on acceptance; balance due on completion. Estimated time: 8–10 working days.

The terms are often used interchangeably. Strictly speaking, an estimate is an approximate price that may change, while a quote is a fixed price for a defined scope. Say which one you mean in your terms.
It can be, depending on what it says and your state's law. A signed estimate shows the customer agreed to the scope and price; for larger jobs, many businesses also use a separate written contract.
Thirty days is common. Use a shorter period if your material costs change quickly.
