Tips

FAQs

Do roofers need a builder licence?

In most states, yes — for jobs above a certain value (NSW $5,000+, QLD $3,300+). Include your licence number on every invoice.

Should I bill progress payments for big jobs?

Yes — for jobs over $20,000, use staged invoices (e.g., 30% deposit, 30% mid-job, balance on completion).

Are roofing warranties on the invoice?

Workmanship warranties usually live in a separate document, but invoices should reference the warranty period (e.g., "7-year workmanship warranty per attached document").

What payment terms work for roofers?

Net 14 for residential, Net 30 for commercial. Always take a deposit for jobs over $5,000.

A practical guide to roofing billing

Use the template as a starting layout, then replace its example information with the actual agreed work. The details below help you decide what to enter and what to check before sending.

Agree what this invoice covers

Separate inspection, repair and replacement work. Identify the area, material specification and disposal or access equipment included in the quote. Record additional damage or changed quantities as approved variations before charging them.

Give the payer enough context

Include the property address, roof area or stage, quote number and completion date. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the accepted scope, approved changes and relevant completion photos available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.

Worked roofing invoice example

The repair stage is billed at its agreed price. Disposal is additional only because it was approved outside that price. For a staged replacement, identify the completed milestone rather than rebilling the full project.

Avoid this billing mistake

Adding scaffolding or materials that the original quote already includes creates apparent double charging. Check inclusions before adding an extra line.

Follow up on the right record

Confirm whether the owner, builder or another contracted payer approves the invoice. A weather-delayed job may need a revised billing stage; invoice the actual agreed entitlement rather than assuming the planned completion date was met.

Before you send

  • Match the line items and quantities to the accepted scope and approved changes.
  • Check the invoice number, issue date, explicit due date and the property address, roof area or stage, quote number and completion date.
  • Apply only the tax treatment relevant to your business and location; check current local requirements if unsure.
  • Keep earlier billing separate from actual payments. Verify the outstanding amount and payment instructions.
