TradesGross margin, net margin, markup — they're not the same, and confusing them is why contractors work hard and keep little. Here's the target and how to get there.
Trades & ContractorsTwo contractors quote the same job. One makes money and one does not, and the difference is almost never the rate - it is what they counted as cost. Here is the whole build-up, worked three times on real trade numbers.
Estimate squares of material, tear-off and install labor, disposal, and a contingency, then add markup. Build a defensible number with the job estimate calculator rather than a rough guess.
Roofers commonly target a 30–45% gross margin depending on material and complexity, netting high single digits to mid-teens after overhead. Track it with the profit margin calculator.
Log revenue, materials, and labor per job so you can compare margins across crews and spot the ones losing money. See contractor profit margin.
