ROOFING ESTIMATING.

## Roofing Estimates in Memphis Move Fast — Your Bid Should Too Memphis sits in one of the most active hail corridors in Tennessee. When a storm cell rolls through Shelby County, your phone lights up before the rain stops. The contractors who win the work are the ones who get a professional, priced estimate in front of the homeowner the same afternoon — not two days later. Estimate.Pro is built for exactly that window. Median time from job walkthrough to a sendable bid: 8 minutes. --- ### What Makes Roofing Estimates Harder in Memphis **Storm volume and insurance documentation.** A significant share of Memphis roofing jobs are insurance replacements. That means your estimate needs to be itemized, line-by-line, with materials called out by name and unit. Adjusters reject vague bids. Estimate.Pro generates a structured scope of work — tear-off, underlayment, decking repairs, drip edge, flashing, ridge cap — every item broken out. **Steep-slope and low-slope work on the same block.** Memphis neighborhoods like Cooper-Young and Midtown carry older craftsman bungalows with steep 8/12 and 10/12 pitches. Commercial corridors along Summer Avenue run low-slope TPO and modified bitumen. Your estimating tool needs to handle both. Estimate.Pro's pitch multiplier is baked into every square calculation so your labor cost scales correctly with actual roof geometry. **Heat and humidity add callbacks.** Summer in Memphis regularly exceeds 95°F with high humidity. That affects adhesive application windows, shingle seating, and flashing sealant cure times. When you note these conditions in the app, your scope-of-work draft can flag the relevant material specs — so you're not eating a callback because a new crew skipped a step. --- ### How the App Works on a Memphis Job Site 1. **Walkthrough.** Open Estimate.Pro on your phone or tablet. Use the AR measurement tool (ONNX-assisted on supported devices) to capture dimensions live on the roof or from ground-level photos. Camera and photo measurements are marked as estimates so you know what to verify before you nail the final number. 2. **AI scope of work.** The app reads your inputs and drafts a full roofing scope — shingle type, felt weight, ice-and-water shield spec, valley treatment, ventilation, and any noted wood rot or decking replacement. You review and edit in plain English, not a spreadsheet. 3. **Priced estimate.** Your saved material cost workspace pulls in your Memphis-specific supplier pricing — whether you're buying from ABC Supply on Getwell Road or a local lumber yard. Labor rates reflect what you actually pay Shelby County crews, not a national average that understates your real costs. 4. **Send.** Export a clean PDF or share a link. Collect a deposit through Stripe Connect directly from the estimate. Pro tier carries a 3% platform fee; Pro+ and above drop it to 0%. --- ### Permits and Code in Shelby County Memphis and Shelby County require a building permit for most roofing replacements, not just repairs. The City of Memphis Development Services Center processes these permits, and inspectors will check for compliance with the Tennessee State Building Code (currently based on the 2018 IBC/IRC cycle as adopted by Tennessee). Key items inspectors flag: - Ice-and-water shield at eaves — required for a minimum of 24 inches past the interior wall line in Tennessee's mixed climate zone - Ventilation ratio compliance per IRC Section R806 - Proper fastener pattern per manufacturer spec to maintain warranty Estimate.Pro's roofing scope templates include a code-reference field so your documentation matches what the inspector expects to see on the permit application. --- ### Pricing That Fits a Single Crew or a Full Roofing Company - **Free tier:** No credit card. No time limit. Good for trying the workflow on a real job before you commit. - **Pro — $39/seat/month:** Full AI scope generation, AR measurements, saved cost workspace. - **Elite — $79/seat/month:** Adds Stripe Connect invoicing and invoice exports for your accounting software. - **Crew — $399/month flat:** Unlimited seats. Right for a roofing company running multiple crews across Shelby County and DeSoto County, MS. No per-estimate fees. No percentage of contract value taken by the platform. --- ### Built for 25 Trades, Tuned for Roofing Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades.

It knows the difference between a 3-tab shingle job and an architectural shingle re-roof with synthetic underlayment. It knows what a cricket is and when to line-item it.
