QuickBooks job costing, hurricane and coastal storm accounting, and retainage tracking for South Carolina roofing contractors.
South Carolina has a rapidly growing roofing market driven by coastal hurricane exposure (Charleston, Myrtle Beach) and inland population growth in the Greenville-Spartanburg corridor. Upstate SC is one of the Southeast's fastest-growing manufacturing markets. Charleston generates insurance restoration work from tropical systems. South Carolina's growth is attracting contractors from other states, creating competitive pricing pressure where margin visibility is critical.
South Carolina's dual market — coastal storm restoration (Charleston) and inland manufacturing/commercial (Greenville-Spartanburg) — requires bookkeeping that separates these revenue streams clearly.
Every South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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.
South Carolina coastal contractors should set up Depreciation Holdback Receivable and Retainage Receivable accounts in QuickBooks before hurricane season. ACV payments must be recorded as partial job payments with holdbacks tracked separately. Supplements go through a separate invoicing process per job.
South Carolina contractors typically pay $300–$700/month locally. JobCostBooks provides roofing-specialist bookkeeping for $600–$1,800/month.
