ROOFING ESTIMATING.

## Roofing Estimates in Charlotte Move Fast — Your Bidding Should Too Charlotte's construction market doesn't slow down. New residential builds in Steele Creek, storm-repair cycles after summer hail events, and commercial re-roofing across South End keep your estimating queue full. The problem isn't finding work. It's turning a site visit into a signed contract before the next roofer does. Estimate.Pro gets you from walkthrough to sendable bid in 8 minutes. That's not a stretch goal — it's the median time our users hit in the field. ## What Makes Roofing Estimating Different in Charlotte **Storm volume.** The Charlotte metro sits in a hail corridor. After a significant storm, you're quoting 15 roofs in 48 hours. Spreadsheets and hand-written takeoffs don't scale to that pace. Estimate.Pro lets you capture measurements on-site using AR on supported devices, then generates a scoped bid with line items before you leave the driveway. **Pitch and material mix.** Charlotte neighborhoods range from shallow 4:12 pitches in ranch-style homes to steep 10:12 and 12:12 rooflines in Dilworth and Myers Park. Your estimate has to account for pitch multipliers, underlayment type, starter strip, ridge cap, and ice-and-water shield at valleys — automatically, not by memory. **North Carolina building code compliance.** The 2018 North Carolina Residential Code (based on IRC) governs roofing installations statewide. Mecklenburg County enforces specific requirements for roof deck fastening, valley flashing, and ventilation ratios under NRCA guidelines. A scoped estimate that references these conditions protects you when the inspector shows up. **Permit fees add up.** Mecklenburg County Building Standards charges permit fees based on project value. On a $12,000 reroof, you're looking at permit costs that need to be line-itemed in the bid — not absorbed into your margin after the fact. ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Charlotte Roofers **1. Walk the roof, measure with AR.** On supported devices, the ONNX-assisted AR measurement tool captures plane dimensions in real time. On older phones or from photos, measurements are flagged as estimates so you know where to verify. Either way, you're not climbing down to enter numbers into a laptop. **2. AI-generated scope of work.** Describe the job in plain language — "tear-off two layers, 28 squares, 6:12 pitch, architectural shingle, two skylights" — and Estimate.Pro builds the line-item scope. Materials, labor categories, waste factor, and code-relevant notes are drafted for you. **3. Your material costs, your numbers.** Estimate.Pro uses your saved material cost workspace. You control the shingle price from your supplier in Pineville or Concord, the underlayment cost, the drip edge rate. The estimate reflects your actual numbers, not a national average that doesn't match your last delivery invoice. **4. Send it from the driveway.** Email the bid directly from the app. Homeowner gets a professional PDF. You get a timestamp showing you sent it first. On Pro+ plans, Stripe Connect is built in — 0% platform fee on payments, invoice exports included. ## Pricing That Works for a One-Truck Operation or a Crew - **Free tier:** No credit card.
