The problem
Manual Roof Estimating Is Losing You Jobs
Roof Area Calculations Are Slow
Measuring roof planes, calculating pitch adjustments, and totaling squares by hand from plans or satellite images. One math error means material shortages on the job.
Wrong square count = emergency material orders
Accessory Quantities Are Guesswork
Ridge cap, hip and valley lengths, drip edge, flashing, vents — estimating all the accessories from plans is tedious and error-prone.
Missed accessories eat your profit margin
Homeowners Want Quotes Today
After the inspection, the homeowner expects a quote fast. If you're still doing takeoffs tomorrow, they're calling another roofer.
Slow quotes lose residential and commercial jobs
Waste Estimation Is a Gamble
How much waste on a complex hip roof vs a simple gable? Too much waste padding and you lose the bid. Too little and you eat it.
Inaccurate waste factors cost thousands per job
