Repairing Corrupt QuickBooks For Contractors File

When your QuickBooks for contractors file is corrupted you can still use it for a short while just like a car with a flat tire can be driven a short while and it appears everything is fine so you think you must not have a problem. Nothing could be further from the truth. Eventually this behavior will destroy your QuickBooks file!

The short video below shows you how to check the integrity of your QuickBooks for contractor or QuickBooks contractor file which ends with a good clean data file.

What should you do if your QuickBooks file is corrupt?

If you own a construction company contact Sharie 206-361-3950 or sharie@fasteasyaccounting.com and she may be able to arrange for one of our qualified construction accountant QuickBooks experts to take a look at your QuickBooks file at NO CHARGE! If we can fix it quick and easy it will be done at NO CHARGE!

If your QuickBooks contractor file is severely damaged Sharie will contact you with options before we proceed. Nothing will be done and no charges will be incurred until you authorize us to fix it.

QuickBooks for contractors files get corrupted for a variety of reasons including hardware failure, not closing QuickBooks for contractors properly, computer viruses and unfortunately bad bookkeepers who do it on purpose.

When QuickBooks for contractors file is corrupt your data is inaccessible, sometimes you cannot open it no matter what you try.

For the brave souls who like to throw caution to the wind, you can use the rebuild utility; however, I do not recommend it. There are several steps that should be done before running the rebuild utility which means someone attempting a repair who does not know what they are doing may lose all your precious data.

Symptoms of Corruption In QuickBooks Contractor File:

  • Your QuickBooks contractor file won't open

  • You see strange error messages on your computer screen

  • You cannot access data inside QuickBooks contractor

  • When you try to save a transaction, QuickBooks contractor shuts down

  • Bookkeeping transactions are missing

  • Balance Sheet report is out of balance (Assets = Liabilities + Equity)

If you suspect your QuickBooks file is damaged run a "Verify Data" report as shown on the videos above and I have included step by step instructions below.

Steps To Run QuickBooks Verify Tool

  1. First close and then reopen your QuickBooks file.

  2. Select File-> Utilities-> Verify Data.

After running Verify tool, you may receive any of the following message:

  1. QuickBooks detected no problem with your data: your QuickBooks contractor company file is not damaged.

  2. Your data has lost integrity: It means your QuickBooks contractor company file is damaged and needs to be fixed and we recommend you not attempt a repair on your own as you could completely destroy the entire QuickBooks contractor file.

If you are a construction company owner contact Sharie 206-361-3950 or sharie@fasteasyaccounting.com and she can arrange for one of our construction accountant specialists to review your QuickBooks file at NO CHARGE!
