FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Matey handle margin on a job with a deposit and progress payments?
The job's quoted amount is the full value. Deposit, progress and completion invoices are tracked against it, and when you close the job Matey compares the total quoted against actual labour, materials and hire to give you one margin verdict for the whole job.
Can I collect a deposit before starting a roofing job?
Yes. Send the deposit invoice before you order materials. Clients pay by card or bank transfer from the invoice link, and if it isn't paid in 7 days Matey drafts the reminder for you.
Does Matey compare repairs to full re-roofs?
Yes. Every completed job gets a profit-per-hour figure, grouped by job type. The Monday brief will tell you if storm-damage repairs are out-earning re-roofs per hour, or the other way round.
Does Matey work for commercial roofing projects?
Yes. Large commercial jobs with multiple milestones get the same margin verdict, the same chasing and the same weekly brief as a single-home re-roof.
