Walk the property, price the job your way - "28 squares at $350/sq, tear-off, architectural shingles, new drip edge" - and AI formats a branded, line-itemed estimate in 60 seconds. You set every price. We make it look professional and get it signed. Text it before you leave the driveway. Built for solopreneur roofers and small crews who don't have an office staff to type up quotes.
After a storm, every roofer in town is knocking the same doors. The contractor who sends a professional, itemized estimate first wins the job 78% of the time. If you're driving back to the office to type it up, you've already lost.
FastEstimateMaker puts the estimate in the homeowner's hands before you pull out of their driveway.
No laptop. No office. Just your phone and your voice.
Walk the property, note the damage, count the squares. Take photos if you want - but they're optional.

Most homeowners don't say yes on the first visit. FastEstimateMaker generates pre-written, job-specific follow-up texts ready to send - "Hi Mark, just checking in on the roof estimate. Any questions?" You review it, tap send, and the lead stays warm while you're on the next job site. Need a different angle? Generate a new follow-up on demand right from your dashboard.
After a storm, the whole block needs a roof. Plan your route, log every door - interested, scheduled, not home - and set follow-up reminders. Stop losing track of who said "call me next week" three streets ago. Text them your booking link right from the canvass popup — they pick a time, and the appointment is in your pipeline.
Toggle the NOAA weather overlay and your canvass map lights up with storm data from the past 7 days. Tornado paths, hail reports, and high-wind events appear as color-coded dots - red for tornado, white for hail, blue for wind. Scrub through the timeline day-by-day, zoom into the hardest-hit neighborhoods, and start knocking the streets that actually have damage.
Storm chasers love this: When a hail cell moves through at 2 AM, you can see the damage path on your map by 6 AM - and be knocking doors by 8 while everyone else is still refreshing the news.
"I landed a $14,000 reroof because the homeowner said I was the only contractor who sent a professional estimate while still on-site. The other guys all said they'd 'email it tonight.' I texted mine before lunch."
