A great storm year and a tax bill you did not plan for.
Volume triples after hail, crews get subbed out to keep up, carriers pay in pieces, and the year closes on a number nobody forecast.
Where roofing books get away from people.
-
Insurance proceeds and supplements
ACV lands first, the supplement eight weeks later, depreciation after completion. Three payments on one job, coded as three deposits.
-
Crew jobs and sub jobs blended
Your crew and a sub crew produce very different margins on identical work. In one labor account you cannot tell which to send next.
-
Material drops across roofs
One delivery covers three addresses. Split at intake you get real per-job cost. Left whole you get an average describing none of them.
-
A busy year with no planning
Storm cash feels like profit. Without quarterly estimates the April bill arrives after the money went into trucks and payroll.
What a storm year looks like with the books straight.
Cost and gross profit per square by roof type and crew, so you bid off your production rate instead of last year's guess.
ACV, supplement, and depreciation tied to one job, with a running list of what is still owed and by whom.
Forecast off backlog and seasonality, plus estimates off actual results, so a big year is not a surprise in April.
See what it would cost you.
