ROOFING ESTIMATING.

## Roofing Estimates in St. Louis Move Fast — Your Bids Have to Move Faster St. Louis sits in a hail corridor. When a storm cell rolls through Jefferson County or St. Charles, insurance adjusters and homeowners start calling within hours. The roofers who win those jobs are the ones who show up with a professional, itemized bid before the competition finishes calculating squares on a napkin. Estimate.Pro is built to get you from a job-site walkthrough to a sendable estimate in 8 minutes — not 8 hours. --- ## What Makes Roofing Estimating Different in St. Louis **Storm work volume is high and seasonal.** The Missouri Ozark Plateau channels severe weather northeast toward the metro. April through June is peak hail season, and another surge hits in late summer. Your estimating workflow needs to handle multiple simultaneous storm-damage jobs without slowing down. **Steep-slope roofs dominate older neighborhoods.** Tower Grove, Dutchtown, Lafayette Square, and Soulard are loaded with brick two-flats and Victorians built between 1880 and 1920. Many carry 8/12 to 12/12 pitches. Every estimate that ignores pitch multipliers leaves money on the table. Estimate.Pro applies the correct pitch factor automatically when you enter roof geometry during the walkthrough. **Material costs move with regional distribution pricing.** St. Louis is served by multiple roofing distributors including ABC Supply and Beacon Building Products with facilities in the metro. Estimate.Pro gives you a saved material cost workspace so your shingle, underlayment, and flashing line items reflect what you actually paid last week — not a national average from six months ago. **City of St. Louis and county permit requirements differ.** The City of St. Louis (an independent city, not part of St. Louis County) operates its own building department with separate permit applications and fees. St. Louis County municipalities — Chesterfield, Ballwin, Kirkwood, Clayton — each enforce their own requirements under the 2018 International Residential Code as locally amended. You need to know which jurisdiction you're in before you finalize a bid. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Roofers **1. Walk the job, capture the roof.** Use the AR measurement tool on a supported device to measure roof sections live. On older St. Louis residential jobs where access is limited, capture photos instead — measurements are flagged as estimates so nothing sneaks into a final bid unchecked. **2. The AI builds your scope.** Describe the job — tear-off, OSB deck replacement, 30-year architectural shingle, ice-and-water shield at eaves, ridge cap — and the AI drafts a line-item scope of work. Hail-damage jobs, full replacements, and partial repairs each get the right structure. **3. Priced estimate, ready to send.** Your saved material costs and local labor rates populate the line items. Review, adjust, send. Median time from walkthrough to bid: 8 minutes. --- ## Pricing That Makes Sense for a Roofing Business - **Free tier** — no credit card, no time limit. Good for getting familiar with the tool. - **Pro at $39/seat/month** — full estimating with 3% Stripe Connect processing on collected invoices. - **Elite at $79/seat/month** — Stripe Connect drops to 0% platform fee, plus invoice exports for your accounting workflow. - **Crew at $399/month flat** — covers your whole crew, one price. If you're running three estimators during peak storm season, Crew is the math that works. --- ## Built for 25 Trades, Tuned for Roofing Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades.
