What to include on a roofing invoice

• Business name, license and contact
• Job address and scope
• Labor and materials (shingles, underlayment, flashing)
• Tear-off and disposal fees
• Tax, total, warranty note and terms

Roofing is billed by the square — and often through insurance

Roofers price in “squares” (1 square = 100 sq ft), and a full replacement invoice is usually structured as tear-off, materials, labor, and disposal. Two billing realities set roofing apart. First, progress payments: reputable contractors take a modest deposit, bill at material delivery, and collect the balance on completion — some states cap deposit size, so check yours. Second, insurance claims: on storm work, the carrier’s scope (often an Xactimate estimate) defines the line items, and your invoice should mirror that scope, including any supplements, so the adjuster can approve it without a fight.

Typical roofing numbers (US, asphalt shingles)

Steepness, stories, and material grade move all of these:

• Tear-off: $100–$200 per square
• Architectural shingles installed: $350–$600 per square (labor + materials)
• Underlayment, ice & water shield, flashing: itemized per square or per roll
• Dumpster / disposal: $300–$600 per job
• Permit: passed through at cost
• Full replacement, typical 20–30 square home: commonly $8,000–$20,000

Protecting yourself on roofing invoices

• Spell out the warranty split: workmanship warranty (yours, e.g. 5–10 years) vs manufacturer warranty (shingles)
• On insurance jobs, match the carrier’s scope line-for-line and invoice supplements separately
• Reference your license/registration and liability insurance — GCs and adjusters check
• Document deposit and progress payments as separate dated lines so the balance is always clear
• Note lien rights where you operate — many states require specific notice language on contracts/invoices
