How to Create an Small Business Invoice

Use the free roofing invoice generator above, or create your own invoice using these steps. Roofing jobs carry details that a generic invoice can miss, so make the scope, materials, labor, and payment terms clear.

  1. 1. Add your business and license details. Include your business name, contact information, roofing license number, and applicable insurance information.
  2. 2. Add the customer and property address. Record who you are billing and the address where the roofing work was performed. Include the billing address separately when it differs from the property address.
  3. 3. Number and date the invoice. Add a unique invoice number, issue date, and due date for clear records.
  4. 4. Itemize materials and labor. List tear-off and disposal, shingles or other roofing materials, underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, and labor with the applicable quantities and unit prices.
  5. 5. Describe the work clearly. Include a concise description of the completed work, especially for insurance jobs. Identify the type of repair or replacement and the scope of work.
  6. 6. Apply deposits, payments, and taxes. Show any deposit or previous payment separately, then calculate the applicable tax, subtotal, and remaining balance.
  7. 7. Add payment terms and warranty information. Include the due date, accepted payment methods, deposit or progress-payment schedule, and applicable workmanship warranty.
  8. 8. Document insurance work. For insurance jobs, include relevant claim or purchase-order information and attach supporting before-and-after photos when appropriate.
  9. 9. Download and send. Export the completed invoice and send it promptly after the work is completed or the applicable billing milestone is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions

An invoice is a request for payment. It shows what the customer owes and when payment is due. A receipt confirms that payment has already been received. Many businesses use both: an invoice to request payment and a receipt to document it.
Due on receipt can work well for small, one-off jobs. Net 15 or Net 30 may be more appropriate for business customers that pay on a regular schedule. Whatever terms you choose, state them clearly and include the exact due date on the invoice.
It depends on what you sell and where your business operates. Tax rules vary by state, locality, and the type of product or service being sold. Apply the tax treatment that applies to your business and confirm requirements with the appropriate tax authority or your accountant.
