The ledger
Roof Projects in Tallahassee, Quincy and Crawfordville
These roof projects in Tallahassee, Quincy and Crawfordville are samples written for this demo site, kept the way an old builder’s ledger would keep them: by street and by year, one line each. A line names the street (never the house number), the roof type, what was done and how many days the crew spent on the roof.
Why a ledger
Finished roofs look alike from the road. What tells you how a roofer works is the record: whether the deck was checked, whether the chimney was reflashed or just tarred again, whether a porch roof got the right material for its pitch. A ledger keeps that record short enough to read in a minute.
Reading a line
The street tells you the kind of house and trees the crew was working around. The roof type is shingle, metal or low-slope. The scope says what went on the written price, and the days count only the time the crew was on the roof, not the wait for a permit or a dry week. Each line comes with a short note on the job and its photos.
