Roofing demand spikes fast after a storm. Hosted lead forms with address verification make sure none of that demand slips away. See lead capture.
Protect material margins
Roofing is material-heavy, so a small costing error becomes a big loss. Estimate from a price book with real cost and margin. See the price book.
Handle staged billing
Big roofs need deposit, progress, and final invoices. One job carrying multiple invoices keeps cash flowing. See invoicing.
Keep documentation on the job
Adjuster docs, supplements, and before-and-after photos belong on the job for faster billing.
Key takeaways
- Never lose a storm lead.
- Track material margin obsessively.
- Stage your billing on big roofs.
