Automate Your Roofing Business
After a storm the phone rings off the hook while your crews are on a roof. Autopilot answers by text, books the inspections, schedules the crews, and sends the estimates before the competition calls back.
Autopilot, working your route
Run Your Roofing Business on Autopilot
Most roofing companies lose money on admin work: answering storm calls, booking inspections, sending estimates, scheduling crews, and chasing final payments. Our software automates it all:
- Online inspection booking 24/7, even mid-storm
- Missed calls answered by text in seconds
- Estimates sent, approved, and deposited by phone
- Crew scheduling that keeps every job moving
- Automatic homeowner updates from tear-off to final invoice
How a Roofing Day Runs on Autopilot
The same system, told the way the work actually happens: from the first storm call to the approved estimate to the money in your account.
1Book the inspection
Every storm call becomes a booked inspection
Homeowners book inspections online 24/7. When the phone rings, you see who's calling with their full history, and every call is recorded. Miss one on a roof? Autopilot texts them back before they call the next roofer.
2Win the job
Estimates out the same day, signed from a phone
Build the estimate after the inspection and text it to the homeowner before dinner. They approve and pay the deposit from their phone, and the job drops straight onto the schedule.
3Run the crews
Crews and stops ordered so nobody drives in circles
Inspections and repairs get ordered by location, and every crew knows where they're going before the coffee's gone. Crews get SMS alerts when weather shuffles the schedule, and homeowners get automatic updates.
5Book the next one
Reviews and the neighbors' roofs, on autopilot
Auto texts ask happy homeowners for a Google review while the crew is still on their street. SMS, email, voicemail, and postcard blasts hit the rest of the neighborhood after every finished roof.

Roofing math: few jobs, big tickets, expensive leads
A roofing company does not need more software. It needs fewer leads wasted, and that is a pipeline problem.
The high-ticket, low-volume equation
Roofing runs opposite to every route trade. A mowing company wins on volume and density; a roofer might close a few dozen jobs a year, each worth five figures. When the ticket is that size, the entire business compresses into one question: what happens to a lead between the first call and the signed contract. Roofing leads are among the most expensive in home services, and every one that goes cold un-followed is real money burned.
The trade's own arithmetic is per-square: a residential roof measured in squares, priced by pitch, material, and tear-off. Storm markets add the insurance ledger, supplements, adjusters, and paperwork, where the margin lives in documentation. Photos on every inspection are not marketing, they are the file that gets the claim paid.
The numbers on a roofing job
- One residential roof$8,000 to $20,000+
Varies widely by market, material, and pitch. A handful of saved leads is a crew's payroll.
- A roofing leadAmong the priciest in home service
Whether bought or earned, each one wasted is real spend burned.
- An estimate nobody followed upThe whole ticket
Five figures die quietly in the follow-up gap. Speed and persistence close roofs.
Ranges are rough national figures for asphalt residential work. The structure holds: low volume and high tickets make the pipeline, not the calendar, the heart of a roofing business.
What roofing companies usually replace
Roofers usually arrive from JobNimbus or AccuLynx, the roofing-specific CRMs, or from a truck-cab system of business cards and callbacks that worked fine until the storm season buried it.
The comparison worth running is pipeline-first: what it costs to track every lead from first call to signed contract, follow up automatically, and keep photos attached to every job file.
