The Back Office Your Roofing Company Is Missing
Storm work, insurance jobs, and retail re-roofs all have different economics. We track them separately so you know exactly where your money is going.
Storm Season Made You Busy. It Didn't Make You Profitable.
Roofing is a feast-or-famine business. A good storm season floods you with insurance restoration work. Retail re-roofs fill the gaps. Commercial maintenance contracts provide some baseline. But the financial picture across all three is murky at best. Most roofing companies can tell you how much revenue they did last year. Very few can tell you which job types actually made money.
Insurance restoration work looks profitable on paper, but supplements drag out collections for months. Retail re-roofs are simpler but margin-sensitive to material costs. Commercial work is steady but competitive. Without separating these streams and tracking costs at the job level, you're flying blind on which parts of your business are worth growing.
Crew productivity adds another layer. A crew that knocks out a 30-square tear-off and re-roof in a day has fundamentally different economics than a crew that takes two days on the same scope. Labor is your biggest variable cost, and most roofing financials don't connect labor hours to specific jobs.
We build the back office that gives you job-level visibility across all your revenue streams, tracks crew productivity by job, and forecasts cash flow around the unpredictable timing of insurance payments.

Built for How Roofing Companies Actually Work
Insurance Restoration vs. Retail
Insurance jobs involve supplements, deductibles, and collection timelines that can stretch 60-90+ days. Retail re-roofs are simpler but live or die on bid accuracy. We separate these in your financials and build your cash flow forecast around the actual collection patterns of each.
Crew Productivity and Labor Costs
Your biggest variable cost is labor, and it swings wildly by crew, job complexity, and weather. We allocate labor costs to specific jobs so you can see crew-level productivity and identify where labor overruns are eating your margins.
Material Price Volatility
Shingle and material costs move with the market and spike after major storms. If your bids are based on last quarter's pricing and materials jumped 15%, you're already underwater. We track material costs at the job level and flag when your actual material spend diverges from your bid assumptions.
Weather-Driven Cash Flow
You can't roof in the rain, and you can't predict when the next storm hits. We build cash flow forecasts that account for seasonal slowdowns and the lumpy payment patterns of insurance work, so you're not caught short during a dry stretch.
