QuickBooks job costing, hail storm restoration accounting, and retainage tracking for Wichita roofing contractors.
Wichita is in the heart of the US hail belt — the city and surrounding Sedgwick County experience multiple significant hail events per year, making it one of the highest-concentration insurance restoration markets in the country. Wichita roofing contractors often do 80-90% insurance restoration work during active storm years. The city's aviation industry (Cessna, Beechcraft, Spirit AeroSystems) creates commercial and industrial roofing demand on manufacturing and hangar facilities. Wichita's relatively small market size means roofing contractors scale quickly from local operators to significant businesses — and the financial systems often don't keep pace.
Wichita's aviation industry creates specialized commercial roofing on hangars and manufacturing facilities — these high-value contracts require formal retainage tracking and AIA billing that differs from residential insurance work.

Wichita contractors doing both residential hail restoration and commercial aviation facility roofing must separate these in QuickBooks — different revenue accounts (Insurance Restoration Revenue vs. Commercial Roofing Revenue), different cost structures, and different billing formats (standard invoices for residential vs. AIA applications for commercial GC work). The Project Profitability report with proper account separation reveals the true margin difference between segments.
