Quoting for roofing contractors is messy

  • Storm-season backlog. Inspections faster than quotes
  • Wrong waste factor. Short on bundles, back to the yard
  • Old shingle price. Margin gone at delivery
  • Door-knockers win. They left a number that night

An agent that handles the messy parts your way.

Your process

Built around how you quote

Not a template. Your steps, your price book, your approvals.

  1. 01

    Explain it once

    Talk or type, like training a new hire. Hand over your SOP, price book and a few past quotes.

    When a request comes in, first check: report matches photos? If not, estimator checks roof.

    Watch it work

    It works a real job on your screen. You correct it the way you'd correct a person.

    Use the 2026 price book, not last year's.

Measurement report to signed roof: a re-roof

Conceptual walkthrough with sample data and a fictional company, not a recording of a customer's run. Screens of third-party software are recreated for illustration; product names belong to their owners.

Your numbers

How many hours can you get back?

Your volume, your times, your labor cost. Estimates, not results.

84staff hours per month returned to selling and building
$3,780labor capacity per month
$45,360labor capacity per year

Proposals × (minutes today − minutes with the agent) ÷ 60 × hourly cost

These are example assumptions, not results. Example for a residential roofer: minutes cover the report, material list, pricing, proposal and follow-up. Use your own numbers.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Can it order and read measurement reports?

It orders the report in the service you use, with your account, and reads the totals when it arrives. If the report and the photos disagree, say on layers or a missing garage roof, it stops and asks your estimator.

Does it work in AccuLynx or JobNimbus?

It works the same screens your team uses. We have no partnership with those vendors and confirm the exact steps on your version before a pilot.

Can it price at our supplier?

Yes, through your supplier's online portal with your account, so it sees your price and branch stock. Anything out of stock is flagged.

What about insurance jobs?

It can prepare the retail proposal and organize photos and measurements. Supplements and adjuster conversations stay with your team.
