Roofing Contractors
Bookkeeping for roofing contractors in Tennessee
Storm season spikes and material costs that move week to week. Roofing has its own rhythm, and generic bookkeeping doesn't keep up with it.
Why generic bookkeeping falls short here
Storm season doesn't wait for your books to catch up.
A roofing business can do half its year's revenue in a six-week stretch after a hailstorm. That's also when you're busiest, and books nobody has touched can't tell you which jobs are making money.
Material costs on shingles, underlayment, and flashing shift throughout the year. Job costing that doesn't track actual material cost per job hides margin problems until they've already cost you money. If you quote your jobs using the same margin percentage throughout the whole year, price changes could be eating away at the money that actually makes it back into your pocket.
What I handle
The roofing-specific parts.
Storm Season Cash Flow
Reporting built to handle the feast-or-famine pattern, so you know what to set aside during the busy stretch to cover the slow one.
Job Costing by Roof
Materials, labor, and crew cost tracked per roof, not blended across the month, so you know which jobs actually pay.
Subcontractor Payouts
1099 tracking handled as the year goes, not reconstructed in January.
Material Cost Tracking
Real cost tracked against what you quoted, so price increases don't quietly eat your margin.
Tax-Ready Year End
A clean package for your preparer that reflects how roofing actually works: job costing, work in progress, and true cost of goods sold.
