Re-roofs, restorations and new roofs: the customer funds each stage into a regulated Australian trust account before you get on the roof — and it releases the moment the stage is signed off.
No credit card. No lock-in. Funds held by a licensed Australian trustee.
Roofing is materials-heavy and weather-exposed. You order tiles or sheeting and battens up front, work at height across days, and often wait on a single invoice once the last flashing is fixed.
Tiles, sheeting, battens, flashings and insulation are your outlay before the job pays. Escrow funds the stage before you order.
Rain stops play and a re-roof stretches out. Staged escrow releases each completed section — strip, dry-in, sheet — rather than making you wait for a clean run to the end.
A full re-roof is a large payment for a homeowner. Escrow protects them too — funds held by a licensed trustee, released only when each stage is genuinely done. That certainty helps you win the job.
The fix
Your customer funds each stage into a regulated Australian trust account (Zai Pty Ltd, AFSL 461841) before you pick up a tool. You do the work, capture the evidence, and the money releases the moment the stage is signed off — typically 1–2 business days via NPP. That’s the difference between getting paid faster and getting paid, full stop.
Each stage is funded before it starts and releases on sign-off. Here’s how a typical job breaks down.
Deposit / materials
Sheeting or tiles, battens and flashings ordered and delivered.
Strip & dry-in
Old roof removed, structure checked, sarking and battens fixed.
Sheet / tile & flash
New roofing installed, ridges, valleys and flashings sealed.
Gutter & sign-off
Gutters, downpipes, final weatherproofing and customer sign-off.

Yes — because each stage is funded before it starts and releases on completion, weather delays don’t hold up your cash flow the way a single end-of-job invoice does. You’re paid for the strip and dry-in when they’re done, even if rain pushes the sheeting out a week.
A full re-roof is a large payment, and escrow makes homeowners more comfortable committing to it — their money is held by a licensed trustee and only releases as each stage is genuinely completed. That certainty makes big-ticket jobs easier to win and removes the end-of-job payment risk for you.
A milestone releases within 7 days of the customer signing off — typically 1–2 business days via NPP. The stage was pre-funded, so there’s no invoice to chase.
Stagex Professional is $59/mo. The first $30,000 funded into escrow per job is fee-free; above that a flat 1.6% escrow fee applies only to the amount over $30,000. No lock-in.
