Roofer Invoice Template

Roofing is priced by the square (100 sq ft of roof), not by “the house.” A professional invoice shows squares, tear-off, underlayment/flashing, and dump fees as their own lines. Insurance adjusters and homeowners both expect that breakdown.

This template is a 22-square asphalt replacement plus underlayment and tear-off. 50% to schedule, balance on completion, 10-year workmanship note already in the terms. Pair it with the roofing quote guide if you are still bidding.

What to put on a roofing invoice

Squares, material (architectural shingle, metal, tile), pitch if it affected price, and whether tear-off was included. Decking replacement should be a unit price (“additional sheet of OSB — $X”) even if the allowance is zero on this job.

Permits, dump fees, and manufacturer warranty registration are pass-throughs. Show them. Workmanship warranty (yours) and material warranty (manufacturer) are different — name both.

How roofers bill

Material-heavy jobs need a deposit before you order. 50% is normal. Insurance jobs may pay in draws — get the supplement approved before you invoice work that was not on the original scope.

Do not start tear-off on a verbal yes. A signed estimate or quote plus deposit is the job packet. Then this invoice closes it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a roofing square?

100 square feet of roof surface. A 2,200 sq ft roof is 22 squares, before waste and pitch.

Should dump fees be separate?

Yes. They are easy for the customer to understand and they move with local landfill prices.

How do I invoice extra decking?

Unit price per sheet, stated on the original quote. Invoice only the sheets you actually replaced.

Deposit amount?

30–50% to order materials. Balance on completion, after a walkthrough.

Estimate or invoice first?

Always estimate or quote first on a reroof. This invoice is for the completed (or progress) job.
