The tax line is left blank on purpose: rates and rules vary by state and locality, and you enter your own rate in the generator.

Why it's laid out like that

The lines follow how the job was actually priced: a price per square of roofing, tear-off and disposal, decking repairs at a stated unit rate, and flashing and accessories itemized. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

A deposit for materials at scheduling, the balance on completion and final cleanup. Insurance jobs bill against ACV and RCV releases, so track both.

Common questions

How do I invoice an insurance claim?
Mirror the adjuster's scope line for line, quote the claim number, and bill ACV and depreciation release separately.
Should decking be an allowance?
Yes — a stated rate per sheet and an estimated count, then invoice what you actually replaced with photos.
Do I need to show the warranty?
Show both: the manufacturer's material warranty and your own workmanship period. It is the main thing homeowners compare.
