QuickBooks job costing, retainage tracking, and AIA billing support for Washington State roofing contractors — from Seattle to Spokane.
Washington State has a large and growing roofing market dominated by Seattle's massive commercial construction sector and the Puget Sound residential replacement market. Seattle's sustained construction boom creates significant commercial roofing on office buildings, data centers (Amazon, Microsoft campus), and multifamily housing. Commercial roofing in Seattle typically requires AIA billing, retainage tracking, and prevailing wage compliance.
Seattle's commercial construction boom creates high-value commercial roofing contracts with AIA billing and retainage requirements — not typical residential bookkeeping.
Every Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.
