A working guide to bookkeeping for storm-restoration roofers — splitting insurance and retail revenue, tracking ACV and recoverable-depreciation receivables, modeling mortgage-endorsement float, booking supplements as scope adjustments rather than new sales, accruing 1–3 percent workmanship warranty reserves, and applying Section 179 to trucks, dumpsters, and tear-off equipment.
