Why do roofing contractors need a specialized CPA?

Roofing businesses have accounting needs that generic bookkeepers miss: job costing that tracks materials, labor, and subcontractor costs to each roof project, warranty and liability reserve accounting, seasonal revenue fluctuations, subcontractor 1099 compliance, and material cost tracking for shingles, underlayment, and flashing. A CPA who understands the roofing trade ensures your books reflect true job profitability and your tax strategy captures every trade-specific deduction.

How do you track job profitability for roofing projects?

We set up job costing in QuickBooks that assigns materials, labor, subcontractor costs, dump fees, and equipment to each roofing project. This shows you the true profit margin on every job, residential replacements, commercial installations, and repairs. With this data, you can price future bids from real costs rather than guesses, improving win rates and profitability.

How do warranty reserves work for roofers?

Roofing contractors typically offer warranties on their work. If a warranty claim arises, you need funds set aside to cover the repair. We help you establish and track warranty reserves, an accounting practice that sets aside a portion of each job's revenue to cover future warranty work. This smooths your expenses and ensures you are not caught short when a warranty claim arrives.

Can a roofing contractor benefit from an S corp election?

Yes, once your net profit consistently exceeds roughly $60,000-$80,000, electing S corp taxation can save thousands per year by splitting income into a reasonable salary and distributions. We analyze your numbers, handle the election, set up the required payroll, and ensure your reasonable compensation is properly documented.

How do you handle subcontractor compliance for roofers?

Roofing contractors frequently use subcontractors, and each subcontractor paid $600 or more in a year must receive a Form 1099-NEC. We track subcontractor payments throughout the year, verify W-9 information, and prepare and file 1099s at year-end. We also ensure subcontractors have proper insurance documentation, protecting your business from liability.

Bid Smarter, Profit More

Roofing is a bid-driven business. Winning bids requires knowing your true costs, materials, labor, subcontractors, dump fees, equipment, and overhead, and pricing a margin on top. Without job costing data from past projects, bids are educated guesses that can lead to winning work at a loss.

David Korzeniowski, CPA sets up job costing that captures every cost component by project, giving you the historical data to bid accurately and profitably. Combined with warranty reserves, subcontractor compliance, and S corp tax savings, this creates a financial strategy that protects your margins and your business.
