Question 1

Is Roof Quote Pro really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free version builds full estimates and proposal PDFs with no sign-up, no trial clock and no card. It keeps one saved job at a time and prints a small watermark on PDFs. Pro removes the watermark and adds unlimited jobs, your logo and brand colour, Good / Better / Best options, change orders and invoices.

Question 2

How much does Roof Quote Pro cost?

Accepted Answer

Pro is $12 a month or $79 a year, sold through Gumroad, and you can cancel any time. You get a license key by email and paste it into the tool.

Question 3

Where are my jobs and client details stored?

Accepted Answer

In your own browser (localStorage) on the device you use. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so we never see your clients, prices or margins. Use Export backup to save a JSON file, and Import backup to restore it or move your jobs to another computer or phone.

Question 4

Can I import measurements from the roofing calculators?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Run the roofing calculator or the roof area calculator on this site, press Save on the result, then open Roof Quote Pro and pick the saved estimate under Import. The roof area, pitch, waste and ridge length are filled in for you. You can also type measurements from a satellite report, a drone app or your tape.

Question 5

What does a roofing proposal need to include?

Accepted Answer

Your company name, contact details and license number; the client and job address; a scope of work; materials by brand or grade; line items with quantities and prices; sales tax; the total and the deposit; payment terms and warranty; how hidden damage such as rotten decking is handled; how long the price is valid; and signature lines. The Roof Quote Pro proposal PDF has a section for each.

Question 6

What is a Good / Better / Best roofing proposal?

Accepted Answer

One proposal with three priced options, for example 30-year architectural shingles, lifetime shingles with full ice and water shield and ridge vent, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. The homeowner compares them side by side and picks one, which tends to raise the average ticket compared with a single take-it-or-leave-it price. Roof Quote Pro builds all three from the same measurements.

Question 7

Does the markup show on the client's PDF?

Accepted Answer

No. You enter your own cost per unit and a markup percentage. The client sees each line at the marked-up price; your cost, markup and margin only appear in the tool.

Question 8

Can I put a roof calculator on my own website?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with Pro. The Pro tab gives you an embed snippet for a white-label roof calculator with your company name, your brand colour and a quote button that goes to your own website or phone. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and plain HTML, and a small powered-by credit stays under it.

Question 9

How is it different from Roofr, AccuLynx or JobNimbus?

Accepted Answer

Those are full roofing CRMs with aerial measurement reports, pipelines, crew scheduling, e-signature and payments, priced from roughly $89 to over $250 a month. Roof Quote Pro does one job: estimates, proposals, change orders and invoices as PDFs, for a fraction of the price. It has no CRM, no e-signature and no aerial reports. If you only need professional quotes, it is enough; if you run several crews and a sales team, a CRM is the better fit.
