QuickBooks job costing, AIA billing support, and retainage tracking for Maryland roofing contractors — from Baltimore to the DC suburbs.
Maryland has a high-value roofing market in the Baltimore commercial/institutional sector and the suburban DC market (Montgomery County, Prince George's County) — one of the highest-cost commercial real estate markets in the Mid-Atlantic. Maryland government work creates roofing contracts with prevailing wage requirements. The DC suburban market has significant commercial and multifamily construction with AIA billing requirements.
Maryland DC suburban market and state government work create formal bookkeeping requirements — AIA billing, certified payroll, and retainage on state contracts are standard on commercial projects.
Every Maryland roofing job gets its own QuickBooks Project. Every invoice, bill, and expense tagged to the correct job. Monthly Project Profitability report shows gross margin on every completed job — so you know which work is worth bidding more of.
Retainage held on Maryland jobs tracked in a dedicated QuickBooks account — visible on your balance sheet, aged monthly, flagged for collection when jobs complete. Most contractors we onboard have $40K–$120K in untracked retainage.
Two reports by the 10th of every month: company P&L and per-job profitability sorted by gross margin. Reports that drive real business decisions — not just annual tax filing.
Every sub paid over $600 in Maryland tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.
