QuickBooks job costing, retainage tracking, and AIA billing support for Pennsylvania roofing contractors — from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania has one of the largest commercial and industrial roofing markets in the Northeast. Philadelphia has dense commercial and institutional buildings creating flat-roof replacement demand. Pittsburgh has industrial heritage creating significant commercial roofing on manufacturing and warehouse facilities. Pennsylvania contractors doing commercial work regularly encounter formal retainage and AIA billing. Pennsylvania also has prevailing wage requirements on public work affecting how labor costs must be tracked.
Pennsylvania prevailing wage requirements on public projects create a specific bookkeeping need: labor costs must be separated by wage determination and properly documented.
Every Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.

If JobCostBooks doesn't find at least $10,000 in fixable profit leaks in your first 90 days, your first month is free. Uncollected retainage, job costing errors, miscategorized expenses — we've never had to honor it.
Pennsylvania contractors on public projects subject to prevailing wage must track labor costs by wage determination classification, separate journeyman vs. apprentice labor rates in QuickBooks, and maintain certified payroll records. Generic QuickBooks setup cannot handle this.
Pennsylvania contractors typically pay $400–$900/month in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. JobCostBooks provides roofing-specialist bookkeeping for $600–$1,800/month.
