Job TR-26-133, a retail reroof. Nancy Allen paid a 30 percent deposit on Wednesday, September 9: $4,563.00 on a $15,210.00 contract. Over 10 percent down, the permit application is due within 30 days of the payment, unless she agreed in writing to a longer time (F.S. 489.126). On day 28 the county portal shows none. The estimator meant to file it between jobs.
The fix: a deposit over 10 percent starts a clock on your job list, with a reminder to you on day 20 and the permit details ready for your office to file. This is one of the things a walk looks for.

In storm season the office line forwards to whoever is on call, with a card in English and Spanish. Nobody climbs a wet roof in the dark, so tarps go on the 7 a.m. calendar.
Before Every storm call lands on your cell, and the tarps get billed whenever someone remembers.
On-call cardSpanish on the back
Sparks, smoke, a burning smell or a medical emergency: call 911 first.
Water through a ceiling: move people and things out, and keep out of any room where the ceiling sags or water reaches lights or outlets. The tarp goes on at first light.

Most owners I meet lose their evenings to the same few jobs: the quote typed up at night, the invoice that never went out, the call nobody got back to.
Before Lumora I did the paperwork at a water damage company, and I automated most of it. Now Lumora walks businesses around Gainesville and does the same.
I speak English and Spanish, so your office can work in either.
