iRoofing is one of the best apps available for roofing contractors aimed at saving time and money. The redesigned app now features video, social media, and feedback from your customer to provide all relevant details to future customers.

The iRoofing app will provide you tools to measure, display roof’s images, evaluate design criteria, and could even create the project's rendering of the proposed roof installation. The iRoofing app is designed to help roofing contractors get more leads, boost sales, and complete proposals by using the customized service provided by the app. 

iRoofing App Features

The iRoofing app is an on-the-go solution to meet all your needs as a roofing contractor. The app will provide you with local information, accurate measurements without accessing the roof, and will provide you with all essential technical data from material manufacturers based on your geographical location. These are some of the best and most essential features:

  • Ability to measure roof area remotely using Google Maps or Bing images
  • Provide all information about tile selection, shingle, and metal so you can share with your customer
  • Simulate the finished roof installation using an existing roof photo. Variances are in the range of less than 2 percent when compared to actual roof measurements.
  • Hips, valleys, ridge, rakes, and eave can be marked, and material can be ordered quickly.
  • Provide reliable and accurate information about roofing suppliers and local manufacturers so you can get the local expertise needed to complete your project
  • Using Google maps, the roof pitch can be determined and then compared to actual roof measurements.
  • All documents and images can be saved, emailed, or printed, for sharing the information and including it in your proposal.
  • Place material orders with most of the top U.S. distributor/suppliers, and the list can be modified to add additional suppliers.
  • Material orders can be customized, and delivery will be specified in the purchase order.
  • Provide render images about their new roof
  • Provides information about licensed contractors near you
  • Have access to a full line of manufacturer's catalogs
  • Find a local branch of your roofing supply company
  • Have access to technical details, building approval forms, and installation guides

This construction app will allow you to update your own business logo, create a photo gallery to upload photos, use the roof replacement simulator, upload your catalog, and be able to push information to your clients regarding latest news and products.

Distributors could also be listed, allowing them to be discovered when iRoofing users search using the GPS capability to find the nearest manufacturers, distributors, and vendors. More information about this construction app could be found at www.iroofing.org, and the app is downloaded from Apple Appstore.

Keep Your Proposals and Contracts Up-To-Date

The app should be used to generate proposals, allowing roofing contractors to provide homeowners with different photos scaled to actual dimensions. It can be used to present various alternatives to the building owner based on material, shapes, and colors.

To make things even easier, contracts can be uploaded and edited on the go, creating a unique database for each of your customers. All the information is synced with your calendar, and you will have access to material orders, contracts, design center, simulator, and images. A new estimating tool will soon be added to the app enhancing the tool to provide even more accurate take-offs and estimates.

This subscription, valid for three licenses, provides unlimited use, and all the information is managed and stored using a secure server.
