The Roofing Contractor's Guide to Estimatics
How roofing contractors capture measurements, document storm damage, and submit carrier-ready scopes from the job site.

The measurement dispute problem
The most contested item in any roofing claim is the measurement. Was it 32 squares or 28? Did the adjuster measure the pitch correctly? Each square in dispute is revenue lost.
Instant Geometry™ — measurements before you arrive
When you create a job in Estimatics, a satellite roof sketch is produced automatically — dimensions, pitch, facets, and total area. On FIELD, Instant Geometry™ gives you a satellite-based roof sketch. On SCOPE, Standard Geometry™ refines it using field photos.
You show up to the roof with measurements already in hand, then refine with field observations during the inspection.
Documenting storm damage that holds up
Photos captured with the Estimatics iOS app carry GPS + timestamp metadata, creating a verifiable record of where and when each was taken.
AI Scope Generation™ reviews your field photos and produces a line-item scope organized by area. Each item is tied to the specific photo that supports it.
Quick Estimate PDF from the truck
Generate a homeowner-ready Quick Estimate PDF before you start your engine. Share it via link or email. The homeowner has a number before the inspection appointment even gets scheduled.
