AR automation for roofing
Half your jobs wait on an insurance adjuster or a GC's retainage release, so cash sits behind milestones and lien deadlines instead of a normal clock. Monk tracks each draw, retainage hold, and insurance payment to its job. It follows up the day money is due.

Release retainage. See the cash ahead



Retainage releases when the paperwork does
Retention of 5 to 10% sits on every project until the closeout package lands and that package is warranty certificates, as-builts, and lien waivers rather than anything AR controls. Meanwhile preliminary notice and lien deadlines run on a separate clock per job. Monk tracks what each release is waiting on and follows up until the document arrives.
See the cash your aging report does not show
Tear-off exposes wet insulation and rotted deck, so crews perform change order work before anyone authorizes it. That work never appears in AR. Add held retention across every open job and a meaningful share of the year is parked outside the aging. Monk forecasts both so you can plan payroll and material against real timing.
