Roofing Invoice Template (Free)

By ShowTheReceipts · Updated

Short answer

A roofing invoice needs the roof size in squares, materials (shingles, underlayment, flashing) itemized, tear-off and disposal as their own labor line, and any deposit applied — plus the job date, property address, and payment terms. Copy the template below, or use invoicing software that handles deposit-and-balance from the quote.

What belongs on the invoice

  • Business name and contact info
  • Customer name and property address
  • Job date
  • Line items — roof size (squares), materials, tear-off/disposal, install labor
  • Deposit received, subtotal, tax, and balance due
  • Payment terms — balance due on completion
  • Payment method(s) accepted

Why the tear-off line matters

A re-roof over two existing layers is a different job than a clean deck. Naming tear-off and disposal separately means the invoice reflects the real work — and you’re not eating the dump fee on a heavy strip.

Skipping the copy-paste

A blank template works, but tracking a deposit against a balance by hand invites errors. Invoicing software carries the deposit from the quote to the final invoice automatically, with a payment link for the balance.

Frequently asked questions

Should tear-off be its own line?

Yes. Removing and hauling the old roof is significant labor plus a dump fee, and folding it into the install price hides work you should be paid for — and understates the job on a layered roof.

How do I show a deposit on a roofing invoice?

List the total, then a 'deposit received' line that subtracts from it, leaving the balance due. The deposit typically covers the material order and locks the schedule.

Do materials go separate from labor?

Yes — shingles, underlayment, and flashing are distinct from install labor, and itemizing them keeps the price transparent and your margin visible.
