Permit & inspection tracking
Re-roofs usually need a permit. Each job has a permit panel: record the permit number and authority, set the status (needed → applied → issued → passed → closed), and track the inspections with pass/fail and dates — so you know if you're waiting on the city or clear to close.
License & permit # on every invoice
Your roofing/contractor license number and the job's permit number print on every estimate and invoice automatically — the paper trail that makes you look like a pro.
Permit fees, billed right
Tap Add permit fee, enter what you paid the city, and it's added as a line item billed to the customer at cost — transparent pass-through, no markup, so your real-profit math stays clean.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer reviews the estimate, sees the photos, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount, with re-authorization if the scope grows.
Photos that sell & document
Snap the storm damage, the rotted decking, or the finished ridge and text it to the customer — proof gets big jobs approved and documents the work before and after.
Real profit, not just revenue
Every bundle and material carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees — so the Money tab shows what you actually made on each job, not just what you charged.
From "my roof's leaking" to "paid" in three steps
Write it up
Add the property and roof, then the work — labor, materials, a photo — and set the permit status. Send a branded estimate.
Permit & inspect
Log the permit number, track the inspection, and add the permit fee at cost. It all shows on the invoice.
Get paid
The customer approves; it becomes a numbered invoice with your license and permit on it. Record payment, your profit lands in Money.
What should a roofer charge?
Roofing is priced by the 'square' (100 square feet), and the material and tear-off drive the total. Here's how it's priced, plus a free roofing cost calculator to price it.
Per square (100 sq ft)
Installed asphalt roofing commonly runs about $350–$700 per square; metal and premium materials cost more. Measure the roof, not the footprint.
Tear-off and disposal
Removing the old roof and hauling it off is its own line — more layers and steeper pitch mean more labor and dumpster cost.
Pitch, material, access
Steep pitch, multiple layers, complex valleys, and hard access all raise the price, as does upgrading from asphalt to metal or tile.
