Trace the roof. Price the job. Quote it before you drive away.
Trace it yourself from public aerial imagery, free — then price the job
with your own numbers and send a proposal your customer accepts and
signs online. No per-estimate or per-report fees.
What it does
Three ways to get the roof off the ground
Trace it yourself from public aerial imagery, free — on every job,
with no monthly limit. Or order a report from your own EagleView
account without leaving the job, and the numbers land back on it —
squares, pitch, ridge, hip, valley, eave and rake — so nobody
retypes them off a PDF. Or type them in by hand. Whichever you pick,
the estimate, the proposal and the materials list run the same maths.
A trace is preliminary: a ballpark, typically within roughly 10–15%
on a simple unobstructed roof, drawn on public-domain USGS and USDA
aerial photography on a multi-year refresh. You pick the pitch, and
the app suggests a pitch where public elevation data exists. Order a
report when a roof earns one — billed by your own EagleView account
at whatever rate you have negotiated, never resold or marked up by
us, and there are no per-estimate or per-report fees from us.
An estimate while you are still in the driveway
Your pricing does the maths the moment the numbers land, and out
comes a branded proposal — letterhead, numbered scope of work,
warranty terms, one total — in your words, starting from
professional defaults you edit. Send the estimate by email, text, or
link. Your proposals go out signed, and your customer counter-signs
the document you signed.
Your unit costs and markup stay on your internal copy — the
homeowner sees the work and the price. Your license name and number
print on every proposal. Texts come from one shared RoofTelli
number, not your own line, and STOP opts a phone out platform-wide.
A materials list from the same numbers
The roof-measured materials are computed for you — roof covering,
underlayment, starter, ridge cap, drip edge, ice & water shield
and coil nails — and the extras are too, once you tell the app how
you buy them. Say you get ridge vent in ten-foot sections, and forty
feet of it prints as four sections rather than a sentence no supply
house can fill.
Written in the units your supply house sells in, with the arithmetic
shown on every line. Anything you have not set up prints as manually
specified, in the unit you sell it in — the app will not invent a
pack size it was never told. Quantities only; the list carries no
prices.
Push to QuickBooks when they say yes
Connect QuickBooks Online once. When a customer accepts, it files
the estimate under a customer you confirm first, and creates that
customer if they are new — across as a QuickBooks estimate, never an
invoice. Push the same job again and it updates what is already
there instead of leaving you a duplicate.
This writes into your own accounting system, which is the point: it
never deletes anything and never overwrites anything on an existing
customer. On one it matched, it fills a blank phone or address and
nothing more.
Who it's for
Roofing contractors who quote from real numbers and would rather do it
from the driveway than from the office at nine at night. It suits a
crew of one as readily as a company with several estimators — every
user in your company is included, and the job list, the pricing and
the branding are shared. A salesperson opens Pipeline as “My pipeline”
and sees their own jobs only.
You do not need a measurement subscription to try it. Trace the roof
yourself, or type it in by hand, and the whole loop still runs:
estimate, proposal, signing, materials list, QuickBooks. Bring your
EagleView account when you want a report instead. It installs to the
home screen on a phone or a desktop and keeps itself up to date.
