RoofScope

RoofScope is a mobile + web AI-assisted estimating app for small roofing/siding contractors who waste hours on manual measurements, messy notes, and inconsistent bids. Users capture roof photos (drone, ladder shots, or satellite), mark a few reference points, and the app generates a materials takeoff (squares, ridge/hip/valley lengths, starter, underlayment, drip edge, fasteners) plus a clean proposal template. It also stores job photos, change orders, and a simple margin calculator so crews stop underbidding. Brutal truth: you won’t beat the big incumbents on enterprise features, integrations, or brand trust. The only realistic wedge is being cheaper, faster to learn, and “good enough” for the 80% of residential jobs where speed matters more than perfect precision. Accuracy is positioned as “estimate-grade,” with clear disclaimers and a verification checklist to reduce disputes.
