§ Why roofing pros in Oklahoma City use Estimate.Pro
THE BID ENGINE.
## Roofing Estimates in Oklahoma City Move at Hail-Storm Speed
Oklahoma City sits inside Tornado Alley. When a hail event rolls through Moore, Edmond, or Yukon, your phone lights up overnight and stays lit for weeks. The contractors who win the most work aren't the ones who show up first — they're the ones who get a professional, itemized bid in the homeowner's hands before the competitor finishes measuring the ridge.
Estimate.Pro is built for that pace.
### From Walkthrough to Bid in 8 Minutes
You open the app on-site. You walk the roof — or document it with photos if it's still wet. AR measurement on supported devices captures pitch, square footage, and ridge/valley/hip lengths in real time. Camera and photo measurements are clearly marked as estimates, so there's no ambiguity in your paperwork. When you're done walking, the AI scope-of-work engine drafts the line items: tear-off layers, underlayment type, drip edge, decking repair allowance, ice-and-water shield at penetrations, ridge cap, flashing, and haul-off. You review, adjust material costs in your saved workspace, and send.
Median time: 8 minutes.
### Oklahoma City Roofing Is Not Generic Roofing
OKC jobs have specific conditions that generic estimating spreadsheets ignore.
**Wind uplift requirements.** Oklahoma follows the 2021 IRC as adopted by the state, and Oklahoma City enforces Chapter 9 roof assembly provisions with attention to wind exposure. Shingle products need to meet ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H ratings in most residential scopes here. Your estimate should call that out, not leave it for the inspector to catch.
**Hail-damage documentation.** Insurance-adjuster negotiations are part of the job in central Oklahoma. Estimate.Pro lets you attach photo documentation directly to line items, giving your supplemental a clean, trade-specific structure adjusters can follow.
**Flat and low-slope commercial.** The surge of industrial and warehouse construction in OKC's I-240 and Kilpatrick Turnpike corridors means TPO and modified bitumen scopes are increasingly common. The app supports low-slope assemblies with separate line items for insulation board, cover board, membrane, and seam tape — not just "flat roof, per square."
**Summer heat and scheduling.** July and August in OKC average highs above 95°F. Crews start early and productivity tapers by early afternoon. Build that into your labor hours on larger jobs rather than pricing as if it's April.
### What the App Calculates for You
- Roof squares from AR or manual pitch-and-footprint input
- Waste factor by roof complexity (hip roofs in OKC subdivisions run 10–15% waste vs. 8% on simple gables)
- Material cost against your saved workspace — your negotiated lumber yard and distributor pricing, not national averages
- Permit fee line item (pull the current OKC fee schedule and enter it once; it carries into every job)
- Crew count and labor hours by scope
- Stripe Connect invoicing on Elite — collect deposits and final payment without a separate system
### Pricing That Fits a One-Truck Operation or a Storm-Crew Company
Free forever tier, no credit card. You can send real bids before you spend a dollar.
Pro is $39 per seat per month. Elite is $79 per seat per month and adds Stripe Connect invoicing and invoice exports. If you're running multiple crews through storm season, Crew is $399 per month flat — one price for the whole team.
Stripe Connect platform fee is 3% on Free, 0% on Pro and above.
### Built for 25 Trades, Sharpest on Roofing
Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. The roofing workflow is not a repurposed general-contractor template. It knows the difference between a 4:12 and a 10:12 pitch. It knows what a starter strip is. It separates labor for felt from labor for synthetic underlayment because those are different line items when a crew is pricing a job in Midwest City versus a custom build in Nichols Hills.
If you're tired of copying last month's bid into a new spreadsheet and hoping you didn't miss a flashing line, try Estimate.Pro. No credit card. First bid in under 10 minutes.
