Popular Roof Materials
This article covers the positive and negative features of the following roofing materials.

Roof   Detail Pricing 

 Detail pricing is for people who would prefer to cost their roofing jobs by detail pricing rather then per square pricing. With detail pricing you supply all the pricing details for materials, labor and any other costs including overhead and profit and other items to include. (Sub Contract, Gutters etc)

  Using Detail Pricing you can select items from your price list and add them to your material cost grid. The same process is used in Per square Pricing when creating a work order. The prices in the price list are for example only. You need to create your own price list containing your prices.

 The wording in your price list is important for roofing items to be atomically added from job cost on the main screen when clicking the add from job cost button. When clicking the Add from Job Cost Button your roofing quantities for roofing squares rolls of felt etc are added to your material detail cost along with prices found in your price list. 

 You can add materials by selecting them, then clicking green arrow or by clicking the blue left hand border. If the material detail cost grid gets full you can continue to add materials and new rows will be added. You will be warned if adding a duplicate item.

  Your prices list is divided into sections. The sections can be renamed or deleted via the combo box. The section "All Materials" cannot be changed or deleted. To rename a section just type in a new name. To delete a section delete the name and click the save button. 
Warning:
This will erase all the materials in that section.
