ROOFING ESTIMATING.

## Roofing Estimating in Phoenix Moves Fast — Your Bids Should Too Phoenix is one of the busiest roofing markets in the country. A metro of 1.6 million people, 300-plus days of sun per year, and a housing stock that leans heavily on concrete tile and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) means your scopes look different from a roofer in Ohio. Tile repairs, foam recoats, and ridge-to-eave measurements on 4:12 to 7:12 sloped desert rooflines all need line items that match how the work actually gets bid here. Estimate.Pro is built for that. From the time you finish your walkthrough to the time you hit send, the median is 8 minutes. --- ## What Phoenix Roofing Scopes Actually Look Like The Maricopa County housing mix drives your scope complexity: - **Concrete and clay tile** — dominant in subdivisions built after 1985. Tile re-lay, broken tile replacement, and underlayment swap-outs all need separate line items. App-generated scopes include material takeoffs by square for both the tile and the 40-lb or 30-lb felt beneath it. - **SPF (spray polyurethane foam) roofs** — common on commercial and flat residential. Estimate.Pro supports recoat thickness specs and silicone topcoat quantities so your foam bids don't get underpriced. - **3-tab and architectural shingle** — still common in older Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler neighborhoods. Standard shingle scopes generate fast with waste factors built in for hip-and-valley cuts. - **Standing seam metal** — growing on newer custom builds in Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. Panel count and trim linear footage are calculated from your AR measurements or uploaded photos. --- ## AR Measurement on the Roof, Not Back at the Truck Estimate.Pro uses ONNX-assisted live AR measurement on supported devices. Walk the perimeter, capture eave and ridge lengths, and the app builds your square footage in real time. On older phones or tablet cameras, measurements are captured from photos and flagged as estimates — you see exactly which numbers came from live AR and which are photo-derived. No surprises when you're reviewing the bid with a homeowner. Phoenix roof pitches are typically moderate, and most tiles are accessible from a ladder. The AR workflow handles both ground-level and on-roof capture depending on your preference and the job's safety requirements. --- ## Local Permit Costs Are Already in Your Head — Put Them in Your Bid Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix both require permits for full re-roofs. The City of Phoenix charges a base building permit fee calculated on valuation, typically running **$150–$350 for a standard residential re-roof** depending on square footage and project valuation. Unincorporated Maricopa County permits run similarly. Scottsdale and Chandler have their own fee schedules. Estimate.Pro's saved material cost workspace lets you store your go-to permit allowances by jurisdiction so you're not recalculating every time. Update them once when the fee schedule changes, and every new bid picks them up. --- ## Heat Damage, Thermal Cycling, and the Code You Work Under Phoenix sits in IECC Climate Zone 2B — hot and dry. Title 24 energy compliance doesn't apply here the way it does in California, but **Arizona's adopted energy code (2018 IECC with state amendments)** still governs attic ventilation ratios and cool-roof reflectance requirements on certain commercial and HOA-governed residential projects. Some Scottsdale developments require a minimum solar reflectance index (SRI) for low-slope roofs. When your scope includes underlayment upgrades or cool-roof coatings, Estimate.Pro's line-item notes let you reference the applicable code section directly in the bid. That's useful when a general contractor or HOA reviewer needs to see compliance language before they sign off. --- ## Pricing That Fits How You Work Estimate.Pro runs on a free forever tier — no credit card required, no time limit.
