Q: How do I show a roof 'billed by the square' on the invoice?

Use one line item where the quantity is your square count and the unit price is your installed price per square; the row math gives you the field total. Keep tear-off, the per-piece materials (flashing, drip edge, vents), and any access labor on their own lines so the customer can see how the price was built — the same way it was scoped.

Q: Where do the workmanship warranty and an insurance claim number go on the invoice?

In the notes field. Write the workmanship warranty term in plain language — what's covered, for how long — since the invoice is often the page the homeowner keeps. On a storm job, record the insurance claim number and any adjuster or PO reference there too, plus your contractor license or registration number if your state requires it on billing.

How this is calculated

The engine sums each line as qty × unitPrice, applies a discount and tax, then computes balance due based on payment status. Late-fee preview uses the same simple-daily-interest formula as invoice-late-fee.

subtotal      = Σ qty × unitPrice
discount      = applyDiscount(subtotal, mode, value)
taxable       = subtotal − discount
tax           = taxable × rate                    // aggregate
total         = taxable + tax

balance       = paid='paid'    → 0
              = paid='partial' → max(0, total − amountPaid)
              = paid='unpaid'  → total

days_late     = max(0, asOf − dueDate − gracePeriod)
late_fee      = mode='flat'    → rate
              = mode='percent' → balance × (rate × 12 / 365) × days_late
                                 // monthly rate → annual → daily

The late-fee preview is informational only — it is never auto-added to the invoice total. Late-fee enforceability varies by state.

A roof is sold by the square, but the bill is rarely one clean number. A re-roof stacks tear-off and disposal, then the shingles, underlayment, and flashing, then the labor to dry-in and lay the field — often with a workmanship warranty, and sometimes an insurance claim, riding on the same page. This is a free, no-signup roofing invoice you build right here in your browser: model the squares, break out the materials, and print or save a clean PDF. It all runs locally in the browser — no data sent out, nothing retained once you’re done.

Price the roof by the square, then itemize what stacks on top

A homeowner who was quoted in squares expects to see squares on the bill. The builder’s line-item rows are just quantity times unit price, so model the field as one line — the quantity is your square count, the unit price is your installed price per square — and let the row total do the math. Then give tear-off its own line: a one- or two-layer tear-off plus the dumpster and haul-away is real labor and a real cost, and hiding it inside the per-square number invites a dispute. The materials that don’t scale cleanly with squares — drip edge, pipe boots, ridge vent, valley and step flashing — go on their own quantity lines. Access labor that’s separate from the field install, like steep-pitch or two-story work or a chimney re-flash, gets a line too. The closer the invoice mirrors how you actually scoped the roof, the less of it gets questioned.

Carry the estimate straight onto the invoice

Roofing is an estimate-first trade. You measured the footprint, figured waste, counted bundles, and handed over a number before a single pallet was loaded — so don’t retype that work onto the bill. If you sized the job with the roofing squares & bundle calculator, the square count and material quantities move straight into the line items here. And if you wrote the proposal on the roofing estimate template, it runs on the same engine as this invoice, so the estimate-to-invoice handoff is mostly carrying the agreed lines across. Adjust only for what actually changed on the roof — an extra layer found at tear-off, rotted decking swapped out by the sheet — and add those as their own lines so the homeowner sees exactly why the final differs from the quote.

Record the warranty and any claim number in the notes

Two things ride on a roofing invoice that a generic one has no dedicated field for: the warranty and, on a storm job, the insurance claim. The builder has a notes field — use it. Write the workmanship warranty term in plain language, what’s covered and for how long, because the invoice is often the document a homeowner files away and brings back to you years later. On an insurance re-roof, record the claim number and any adjuster or PO reference there as well, so the paperwork the carrier or a mortgage company asks for sits on the same page as the amount due. If your state requires a contractor license or registration number on billing, that belongs in the notes too. None of this turns the invoice into a regulatory or insurance filing — it’s the paper trail everyone asks for after the fact, kept where they’ll actually look.

From the deposit to the final balance

Most re-roofs aren’t paid in one shot. You may collect a deposit when materials are dropped, then bill the balance once the field is finished and the yard is magnet-swept for nails. Enter the deposit as an amount paid and the page carries the difference forward as the balance owed, so the homeowner sees what’s left on the job rather than the contract price a second time. Tax stays at 0% until you set it, because roofing sits in murky territory — some places tax the shingles and materials but not the labor, and some treat a full re-roof as a capital improvement taxed under its own rules — so key in your local rate and it’s applied to the discounted subtotal. For a net-terms account that runs past due, the invoice late-fee calculator figures a defensible charge before a terms line goes on the invoice; how enforceable a roofing late fee is comes down to state law and your signed contract, so treat the computed fee as an editable baseline you can change. What you’re building here is a document you fill in and hand off — no stored ledger, no payment collection — so it pairs naturally with a quote up front and the same invoice engine across every job.

Frequently asked questions

How do I show a roof 'billed by the square' on the invoice?

Use one line item where the quantity is your square count and the unit price is your installed price per square; the row math gives you the field total. Keep tear-off, the per-piece materials (flashing, drip edge, vents), and any access labor on their own lines so the customer can see how the price was built — the same way it was scoped.

Should tear-off and disposal be a separate line, or rolled into the roof price?

Give tear-off and dumpster/disposal their own line. A one- or two-layer tear-off is real labor and a real haul-away cost, and burying it inside a per-square number is the fastest way to start an argument when the homeowner compares your bill to a quote. A separate line also makes a re-roof read clearly as removal plus new install.

Where do the workmanship warranty and an insurance claim number go on the invoice?

In the notes field. Write the workmanship warranty term in plain language — what's covered, for how long — since the invoice is often the page the homeowner keeps. On a storm job, record the insurance claim number and any adjuster or PO reference there too, plus your contractor license or registration number if your state requires it on billing.

How do I bill a deposit now and the balance when the roof is done?

Record the deposit as an amount paid and the invoice shows the remaining balance due instead of a fresh full total — the builder tracks paid versus balance for you. That handles the common re-roof pattern of a deposit when materials are dropped and the balance once the last shingle is on and the site is swept.
