Roofing is one of the most physically demanding trades — and one of the most financially unpredictable. Big jobs mean big invoices, and big invoices mean customers sometimes need a nudge to pay. The right invoice app makes sure you get paid on time, every time, without the awkward follow-up calls.

What Roofers Need in an Invoice App

Roofing jobs have unique invoicing challenges compared to other trades:

Why Most Invoice Apps Fall Short for Roofers

Generic invoicing apps miss the mark for roofers in a few key ways. They don't handle per-line taxable toggles correctly — meaning you end up taxing your labor or not taxing your materials. They lack automatic follow-up reminders. And they're not built to be used one-handed on a phone while you're on a job site.

How FieldPay Works for Roofing Jobs

Detailed line items that match your estimate

Add each component of the job as a separate line item — tear-off labor, new shingles, underlayment, ice and water shield, ridge cap, flashing. Mark materials as taxable and labor as non-taxable. FieldPay calculates everything correctly and shows the customer a clean breakdown they can understand and verify against their estimate.

Send before you leave the driveway

When you finish a job, tap + on your phone, build the invoice in 60 seconds, and text or email it to the homeowner before you've loaded the last tool into your truck. They get a professional invoice link they can view on their phone. No waiting until you get home to write it up.

Professional appearance for insurance claims

Insurance adjusters and homeowners filing claims need clean, itemized documentation. FieldPay invoices show your business name, address, job date, line-by-line breakdown, tax calculation, and total — everything an insurance company needs to process a claim.

Print any invoice

Need a paper copy for a customer or adjuster on site? Print any invoice directly from the app with one tap. Works on your phone or a desktop computer.

Automatic follow-up on big outstanding amounts

Set a reminder threshold and FieldPay flags unpaid invoices automatically. Resend a professional follow-up text or email with one tap — your business name, not your personal number.

💡 Sending a professional invoice immediately after a job increases same-day payment rates by up to 40% compared to sending it days later.

FieldPay Pricing for Roofers

FieldPay is $24/month for a solo roofer. If you run a crew, add worker seats at $10/month each — your workers can send invoices under your business name. Compare that to Jobber ($49-$129/month) or Housecall Pro ($65-$169/month) and you're saving hundreds per year.

On a $10,000 roofing job, FieldPay pays for itself in the first invoice if it helps you get paid one day faster.
