Roofing invoicing tips
- Price in squares (100 sq ft) – it is the industry standard and makes your quote easy to compare.
- For insurance jobs, match your line items to the adjuster's scope so the claim pays out without disputes.
- Bill supplements (rotten decking, extra layers) as separate lines with photos.
- Collect a materials deposit before delivery; roofing materials are a large upfront cost.

Frequently asked questions
What is a roofing square?
One square equals 100 square feet of roof area. A typical 2,000 sq ft home roof is about 20–25 squares including waste.
How do I invoice an insurance roof claim?
Reference the claim number, list items matching the adjuster's estimate, and show the deductible the homeowner owes. Insurers often pay in two checks – ACV and recoverable depreciation – so bill the final amount after completion.
