Frequently Asked Questions
How do roofing companies track insurance restoration profitability?
FiscalInsights tracks each insurance job from initial claim through final payment, including supplement amounts, depreciation recovery, and mortgage company holdbacks. You see the true timeline and profitability of insurance work versus retail jobs, helping you balance your business mix.
How do roofers estimate material waste accurately?
FiscalInsights uses roof complexity factors to calculate appropriate waste percentages—typically 10-15% for standard roofs and up to 20% for complex designs. After each job, actual material usage is compared against estimates to continuously improve your waste factor accuracy.
How should roofing companies manage cash flow on insurance jobs?
Insurance payments often take 30-90 days and involve multiple disbursements. FiscalInsights maps the payment timeline for each job and projects cash flow based on expected disbursement dates. This helps you plan materials purchases and crew payments without over-extending your cash position.
