ROOFING ESTIMATING.

## Roofing in Denver is not the same job as roofing anywhere else Denver logs more hail days per year than any major U.S. metro — the city sits in the heart of "Hail Alley," where golf-ball-size stones are a seasonal routine, not a freak event. That means your pipeline fills fast after every storm, insurance adjusters are on every third job, and the contractor who gets a clean, itemized scope to a homeowner first usually wins the contract. Slow estimating is the problem. Estimate.Pro is built to fix it. ## From walkthrough to bid in 8 minutes When you open a new job in Estimate.Pro, you walk the roof — or hand the camera to a crew member — and the AR measurement tool calculates slope, square footage, ridge length, and valley runs on supported devices. Camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates so you know what to verify. No paper tape. No ladder math entered twice. The AI scope generator reads your measurements and produces a line-item scope of work: tear-off, underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, drip edge, field shingles, ridge cap, and flashing. You edit what does not fit. You approve what does. The median time from walkthrough to a sendable PDF is 8 minutes. ## Denver-specific scope considerations built into the workflow **High-wind and hail uplift requirements.** Colorado follows the 2021 International Building Code as amended, and Denver's local amendments require Class 4 impact-resistant shingles on residential re-roofs in many cases to qualify for insurance discounts — adjusters expect to see that noted in your scope. Estimate.Pro lets you tag line items with product specs so your bid already answers the question before the adjuster asks it. **Snow load and ice dam exposure.** At 5,280 feet, freeze-thaw cycles are aggressive from October through April. Ice-and-water shield minimums under Denver's adopted code push further up the eave than the IRC baseline. Your scope should call this out explicitly. The AI scope generator includes eave protection by default for Denver-area jobs. **Elevation labor premium.** Roofers in the Denver metro command higher labor rates than the national average — partly due to altitude, partly due to the sustained storm-driven demand cycle that keeps crews stretched. Your estimate needs to reflect that, not import a national average from a zip code lookup. ## Material cost workspace Estimate.Pro includes a saved material cost workspace where you store your actual supplier pricing — your account at SRS Distribution, ABC Supply, or whoever you run with in the Denver market. When shingle costs jump after a hail event drives regional demand, you update your workspace once and every new bid reflects it. No re-keying. No stale numbers from six months ago. ## Insurance claim jobs require clean documentation A large share of Denver roofing revenue runs through homeowner insurance claims. Adjusters want to see scope and unit pricing that matches Xactimate line conventions. Estimate.Pro's line-item format exports cleanly. You can send a PDF to the homeowner and a separate export to the adjuster without rebuilding the estimate. Elite plan users get Stripe Connect invoicing and structured export options built in. ## Pricing that fits a roofing business Estimate.Pro runs on three paid tiers: **Pro at $39/seat/month**, **Elite at $79/seat/month**, and **Crew at $399/month flat** for larger operations running multiple crews. There is also a free forever tier — no credit card required — so you can run a real job through the tool before you spend anything. Stripe Connect is built in for collecting deposits and progress payments. The platform fee is 3% on Free and 0% on Pro and above. ## Who this is for Estimate.Pro serves 25 trades. Roofing is one of the busiest in the Denver market. If you are running two to five crews through storm season, quoting five to fifteen jobs a week, and losing time to estimate prep that should be going to production — this is the tool. Build faster. Bid sharper. Win more.
