Piece Rate Pay for Roofing Companies
Stop guessing what each roof costs you in labor. Track squares, pay your crew accurately, and run payroll in minutes — not hours. Built by a roofing contractor who lived this problem every week.
What's Piece Rate Pay in Roofing?
Piece rate pay means you pay your crew based on how much work they complete — not how many hours they stand on the roof. In roofing, the standard unit of measurement is the square. One square equals 100 square feet of roofing.
A typical piece rate might be $30 per square for tear-off and install. If a crew tears off and installs 40 squares in a day, they earn $1,200 to split. Simple. Fair. Everyone knows exactly where they stand.
The problem? Tracking it all. Paper tickets get lost. Text messages get buried. And every Friday you spend hours trying to figure out who did what on which job. That's the problem Piece Work Pro solves.
Why Roofers Love Piece Work Pro
We built this for one reason: to make your life easier on payday.
Faster Payroll
Your crew logs their own squares when they clock out. Payroll is ready to review in minutes, not hours. No more chasing people down on Friday afternoon.
Accurate Job Costing
Know your exact labor cost per roof. See it broken down by project, by crew, by day. No more guessing whether a job made money or lost it.
Crew Accountability
Every crew member logs their own production. You review and approve it. Everyone sees the same numbers. No more arguments about who did what.
How It Works for Roofing Crews
Four steps. That's all it takes to go from job site to payroll.
Crew Clocks In
Your crew opens the app on their phone and clocks in. GPS confirms they're on site. Takes 10 seconds.
Pick the Project
They select which job they're working on. All your active projects are listed right there. One tap.
Log Squares at Clock-Out
When the day is done, they clock out and enter how many squares they completed. Tear-off, install, whatever you track.
Admin Reviews & Approves
You see every entry on your dashboard. Approve, edit, or flag anything that looks off. Then run payroll with one click.
Track Job Costs Down to the Penny
Every roofing contractor wants to know one thing: did this job make money? With Piece Work Pro, you finally get a clear answer.
See your total labor cost per roof — broken down by crew member, by day, by task. Compare your estimated labor cost against what you actually paid out. If you bid a job at $3,500 in labor and your crew logged $4,100, you'll know immediately — not 30 days later when you wonder where the margin went.
Spot patterns too. Which crews are consistently over? Who is logging more squares than the job should have? Piece Work Pro gives you the data to have those conversations with facts, not feelings.
No more spreadsheets. No more guesswork. Just clear, accurate numbers you can trust.
