Frequently Asked Questions
How does progress billing work for roofing contractors?
For roofing projects, you typically don't want to wait until job completion to get paid. Business Genie supports progress billing: collect a deposit when the contract is signed (25-50%, covers your material order), another payment when tear-off is complete or materials are on-site, and the final balance at walkthrough. You create separate invoices for each milestone, and the system tracks total contract value vs. payments received. This dramatically improves cash flow—you're never fronting $5,000+ in materials out of pocket.
Can roofing companies accept insurance claim payments through Business Genie?
Yes. For storm damage roofing work, the payment flow often involves insurance. You can invoice the homeowner for their deductible (collected upfront), then invoice the insurance portion when the adjuster's check arrives. Business Genie tracks both portions and shows total received vs. remaining balance. For insurance supplement invoices (additional work discovered during the job), you can add line items and send updated invoices. Some roofers also offer to bill insurance directly—you'd process those checks as payments against the outstanding invoice.
What payment methods do homeowners prefer for roofing jobs?
It varies, but offering multiple options closes more deals. Business Genie supports: credit/debit cards (convenient for smaller amounts, deposits), ACH bank transfers (lower fees for large payments—1% capped at $10), checks (you record manually), cash (recorded manually), and financing (through integration partners). For a $15,000 roof, many homeowners prefer ACH to avoid the 2.9% card fee on a large transaction. Offering all options lets the customer choose what works for them.
How do roofers invoice at project completion?
When the roof is done and you've done the final walkthrough with the homeowner, you generate the final invoice from the project record. Business Genie auto-calculates the remaining balance (total contract minus deposits and progress payments already collected). You can attach completion photos—before/after shots of the new roof. Email or text the invoice to the homeowner with a payment link. They can pay by card or ACH right from their phone. Many roofers collect final payment on-site at the walkthrough using a tablet.
