Project-based invoicing and tracking

Detailed billing structure: Roofing projects often involve several stages, from preparation to installation, as well as subcontractors, materials and varying labor charges. Pocket Invoice lets you customize invoices to each project's needs, making expenses easier to track and charge to customers accordingly.

Progress billing: Roofing companies often invoice when a project reaches agreed stages, such as 30% after tear-off and 50% after underlayment installation. Pocket Invoice may offer features that simplify progress billing and partial-payment management.

Time tracking and payroll integration

Labor time tracking: Roofing work is often billed by the hour, and Pocket Invoice may offer built-in time tracking to simplify labor billing. This helps ensure accurate compensation and makes payroll reports easier to prepare.

How much do roofers earn? Wages, costs and taxes

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 occupational wage table, the mean annual wage for roofers is USD58,140 and the median hourly wage is USD26.65. These are US employee wages. They don't represent revenue or profit for a roofing contractor's business.

Regional demand, experience and the type of work, such as new installation or repair, all affect income. Cities with more construction activity, such as Dallas and Charlotte, may offer more job opportunities. Demand for roof repairs and maintenance after storm season may also affect workloads and pay.

Project payments need to cover shingles or metal sheets, waterproofing, scaffolding, tear-off and disposal, and subcontractor labor. Pitch, site access, damage to old decking and weather-related scheduling all affect costs, so one price based only on area will not suit every roof.

Use the roofing cost calculator to estimate material and installation costs, then compare them with actual purchasing, labor and equipment expenses. Federal income tax depends on taxable income. If you run your own business, you also need to consider Social Security and Medicare contributions under self-employment tax, plus other applicable taxes in your location. Deduct business expenses from project revenue, then set aside taxes as required where you operate.

Roofing management software FAQs

How can I track time spent on different roofing tasks, such as installation and repairs?

Roofing projects often involve different tasks, such as installation, repairs and inspections. To record the time spent on each task:

  1. Use Client Time Tracking under Tools.
  2. Record hours for specific tasks, such as shingle installation, roof inspections or leak repairs.
  3. Convert the recorded hours into an invoice to charge accurately for the actual time worked.
How can I create a roofing invoice that includes labor and materials, such as shingles and flashing?

Roofing often involves both labor and materials, such as shingles, flashing and nails. To create an invoice with these charges:

  1. Open the app and select Create New Invoice.
  2. Add customer details and specify the service provided, such as roof installation, repairs or inspection. List labor and materials separately to show the cost of each part of the project clearly.
  3. Save the invoice and send it directly to the customer.
Can I add before-and-after photos to a roofing invoice?

Yes. Before-and-after photos are especially useful in roofing, showing customers the completed work and improvements. To add photos:

  1. Open the invoice for the roofing project.
  2. Scroll down to the area below the payment information and add roof photos taken before work started and after completion.

These visual records help explain the charges and make the invoice more professional.

How can I handle different tax rates for labor and materials on a roofing project?

In some regions, different tax rates may apply to roofing labor and materials. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings and select Taxes and Currency.
  2. Select Set Taxes Per Item to apply different tax rates to labor and materials separately.

This helps ensure an accurate invoice that complies with tax rules in your location.
