ROOFING ESTIMATING.

## Roofing Estimates in Dallas Move Fast — Your Bid Has to Move Faster Dallas sits in the heart of Tornado Alley. When a hail storm rolls through the Metroplex, your phone starts ringing before the skies clear. Homeowners in Preston Hollow, Lakewood, and Mesquite all need bids the same afternoon. The contractor who shows up with a written scope and a number wins the job. The one who says "I'll email it tomorrow" loses it. Estimate.Pro gets you from walkthrough to sendable bid in 8 minutes. That's not a marketing claim — it's the median time measured across the platform. --- ## What Makes Dallas Roofing Different **Hail and wind dominate your workload.** North Texas averages more than 10 significant hail events per year. Your estimates need line items for decking inspection, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, drip edge per IRC R905.2.8, and synthetic underlayment — not just shingles and labor. Estimate.Pro's roofing scope template includes all of it by default. You remove what doesn't apply; you don't have to remember to add it. **The City of Dallas has specific permit thresholds.** A full replacement on a residential structure requires a Building Permit from Dallas Development Services. Re-roofing permits are separate from new construction permits, and inspections are required before the final layer is closed. When your estimate already itemizes permit fees as a line item, clients stop treating them as a surprise markup. **Material costs shift constantly in DFW.** After a major storm event, shingle and OSB prices at local distributors move within days. Estimate.Pro stores your material costs in a saved workspace you control. Update one number and every open template reflects it. No spreadsheet hunting. **TDI-licensed adjusters are in the mix.** Texas requires roofing contractors working with insurance claims to follow Texas Department of Insurance guidelines. Your scope of work needs to match the language an adjuster will read. A professional, itemized PDF from Estimate.Pro holds up in a supplement negotiation better than a handwritten line sheet. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Handles a Dallas Roofing Job 1. **Walkthrough** — Use the AR measurement tool on supported devices to measure roof planes live on site. On older devices or from photos, measurements are flagged as estimates so you know exactly what to verify. 2. **AI Scope-of-Work** — The platform generates a line-item scope based on your inputs: tear-off layers, decking condition, flashing, ridge cap, ventilation, and code-required underlayment. 3. **Priced Estimate** — Your saved material cost workspace and local labor rates populate the numbers. Adjust margins by line item or overall. 4. **Send** — Export a clean PDF or send a client-facing link. Collect a deposit via Stripe Connect with 0% platform fee on Pro+ plans. --- ## Pricing That Works for a Dallas Shop - **Free** — No credit card. Unlimited estimates. 3% fee on payments collected through Stripe Connect. - **Pro — $39/seat/month** — Your saved cost workspace, full AR measurement, all 25 supported trades. - **Elite — $79/seat/month** — Stripe Connect at 0% platform fee, invoice exports, advanced workflows. - **Crew — $399/month flat** — One price for your whole crew, regardless of headcount.

No per-seat surprises when you bring on temporary labor. --- ## Dallas Code References Built Into Your Workflow Estimate.Pro's roofing templates reference the IRC sections that show up on Dallas inspections: - **IRC R905.2** — Asphalt shingles installation requirements - **IRC R905.1.1** — Underlayment requirements for steep-slope roofs - **IRC R903.2** — Flashing requirements at wall and roof intersections - **IRC R905.2.7** — Valley flashing When a scope line cites a code section, the client reads it as a professional specification, not a sales pitch. --- ## Start Without a Credit Card The Free tier is free permanently. Build your first Dallas roofing estimate today, see the output, and decide if Pro is worth $39. Most Dallas roofers make that back on the first job they win with a faster bid.
