QuickBooks job costing, retainage tracking, and monthly P&L reports for Michigan roofing contractors — from Detroit to Grand Rapids.
Michigan has a substantial roofing market driven by aging housing stock in Detroit and suburbs, active commercial construction in Grand Rapids, and strong freeze-thaw cycles accelerating roof deterioration. Detroit suburban markets are active replacement markets. West Michigan manufacturing drives commercial roofing demand. Michigan commercial contractors in the Detroit metro frequently encounter retainage requirements and AIA billing on larger projects.
Michigan's aging housing stock and commercial market mix means both residential job costing and commercial retainage/AIA tracking are important.
Every Michigan 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 Michigan 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 Michigan tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.
