QuickBooks job costing, hail storm restoration accounting, and retainage tracking for San Antonio roofing contractors.
San Antonio is one of Texas's fastest-growing cities, with major residential expansion in the far North Side, New Braunfels corridor, and the Hill Country suburbs. The market runs heavy on residential re-roofs and new construction, with significant insurance restoration work from the hail events that roll through Bexar County and the surrounding Hill Country 10–15 times a year. Military presence (JBSA, Lackland) creates steady demand from government-adjacent property management. Commercial roofing is active across the Medical Center and the Loop 410 / Loop 1604 industrial corridors.
San Antonio's growth means many roofing contractors are scaling fast — from owner-operator to multi-crew — without ever setting up proper job costing. Contractors who hit $1M in revenue without tracking per-job margin don't know which jobs funded growth and which quietly eroded it.
Every San Antonio 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 types in the San Antonio market are worth bidding more of.
Retainage held on San Antonio commercial 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 decisions, not just annual tax filing.
Every sub paid over $600 in San Antonio tracked year-round. Clean 1099 list ready January 31st — no scramble, no missing payments, no IRS exposure.

New construction roofing in San Antonio uses progress billing and retainage, while insurance restoration uses ACV/RCV workflows with holdback tracking. Each requires a separate QuickBooks Project setup. Most SA contractors mix both — the chart of accounts needs to separate these revenue streams clearly so margin isn't averaged across completely different job types.
