- Two-way QuickBooks Online sync
Stop the busywork
Bill roofing work without the spreadsheets
Material-heavy roofs bill on a schedule of values with retainage and stored materials. When pay apps and job costs live in spreadsheets, margin leaks and cash comes in slow. Commercial roofing subs know the wait: in [Billd's 2026 National Subcontractor Market Report](https://billd.com/resources/2026-market-report/), 64% of subcontractors reported slow payment from GCs, waiting an average of 51 days.
- Build pay apps in Excel
- Forget retainage
- Stored materials left off
- Job costs after the fact
- G702 and G703 style pay apps built for you
- Retainage tracked
- Stored materials billed
- Job costs in real time
Werx gets roofing contractors out of spreadsheets. Estimate, bill AIA and progress, bill stored materials, and get paid in one app.
The money side of a roofing business for $49 a month
Construction billing and job costing platforms publish entry prices from $149 to $599 a month, with per-user fees up to $20 and features like job costing often gated to higher tiers (as of July 2026). Werx takes the opposite approach: flat plans from $49 a month, every feature on every plan, and users are $6.
For a roofing company, that is less than one leak repair a month to run the entire office side. See pricing for the full breakdown, or compare Werx to the platforms you are looking at.
- Every feature on every plan, from day one
- AIA-style billing, stored materials, estimates, and job costing included
- Users are $6 a month, time-only users $4, no caps
- No contracts, 14-day free trial, no credit card
Where roofing contractors lose money
Most lost margin hides in billing and job costs. Here is where it slips, and how Werx catches it.
Pay apps stuck in Excel
GCs want G702 and G703 style pay apps. Werx builds them from your schedule of values.
AIA billingStored materials not billed
Material on site you cannot bill ties up cash. Bill stored materials on any pay app.
Progress billingRetainage you forget to chase
Retainage of 5 to 10 percent adds up across jobs. Werx tracks it on every pay app.
AIA billingUnbilled change orders
Extra work in the field often never gets billed. Werx turns field tickets into billable change orders.
Change ordersNo live job costs
Without real-time costs, material and labor overruns hit late. Werx shows budget versus actual by cost code.

Bill an AIA-style pay app and get paid
Roofing work bills on a schedule of values, not a flat invoice. Werx builds the G702 and G703 style pay application for you.
Set percent complete on each line, add stored materials, and Werx calculates retainage and the current payment due. No spreadsheet, no math errors.
Send the pay app to the GC through a branded portal. They review and pay online. Learn more about AIA billing and what AIA billing is.
How a commercial roof replacement bills in Werx
Take a $140,000 TPO replacement on a distribution building, billed monthly by percent complete with 10 percent retainage. Partway through the job, the schedule of values might look like this:
| SOV line | Scheduled value | % complete | Earned to date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tear-off and disposal | $24,000 | 100% | $24,000 |
| Dry-in: insulation and cover board | $38,000 | 50% | $19,000 |
| TPO membrane install | $52,000 | 25% | $13,000 |
| Flashing and edge metal | $16,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Punch list and closeout | $10,000 | 0% | $0 |
| Total | $140,000 | 40% | $56,000 |
Werx builds the G702 and G703 style pay application from those lines: $56,000 earned, $5,600 held as retainage, prior billings subtracted, current amount due calculated for you.
Then there is the part roofing gets punished on: material bought but not yet installed. If $18,000 of membrane is sitting on the deck waiting for dry weather, you can bill it as stored materials on the same pay app. Total billed rises to $74,000, with $7,400 held as retainage, instead of that cash sleeping on the roof for a month. A residential replacement is simpler: deposit up front, final invoice at completion, both flowing from the same estimate.
Send a pay app your GC can pay online
Your GC opens a clean, branded pay application. They see the schedule of values, stored materials, retainage, and the amount due. They pay by card or ACH, and you get the cash sooner.

Why roofing contractors choose Werx
Most field apps skip the hard part: real billing and job costing. Werx is built for it.
Built for the trades
Made for contractors who bill commercial and residential work, not a plain invoice tool.
Real AIA-style billing
G702 and G703 style pay apps with retainage and stored materials. Most small-shop tools cannot do this.
Know your margin
Live job costs and profit on every job, so you catch losses while you can still fix them.
Works with QuickBooks
Two-way sync with QuickBooks Online on every plan, at no extra cost.
One office system
Estimates, billing, costs, time, and payments in one place. No juggling apps.
Material-heavy jobs, books that still balance
Roofing runs on supplier credit and big material buys, which means a lot of bills moving against a lot of pay apps. Werx syncs with QuickBooks Online in both directions: pay apps and invoices go over as they bill, payments match up when they land, and job expenses come back so your costing stays honest. The office stops living in two systems that disagree with each other.

Roofing contractor software is an office tool that handles estimates, billing, job costs, and payments for roofing companies. It replaces spreadsheets and paper for the money side of the business.
It is a big field to stand out in. The U.S. has 25,519 roofing contractor establishments per the Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 166,700 roofers working in 2024, with employment projected to grow 6 percent by 2034, about 12,700 openings a year, at a median pay of $55,440 as of May 2025.
