Roofing estimates are different from other contractor quotes. You’re dealing with square footage calculations, pitch multipliers, material takeoffs, multiple shingle options, underlayment decisions, and the constant risk of hidden damage.

Generic quoting tools don’t cut it. You need software built for how roofers actually work.

We compared the most popular roofing quoting tools on the market based on publicly available information. What follows is our editorial opinion on which tools fit which kinds of roofing businesses. For current pricing and plan details on any third-party tool, check that vendor’s website.

What Roofers Actually Need in Quoting Software

Before we compare tools, let’s be clear about what matters:

Measurement integration. Whether you’re using satellite imagery or manual measurements, your quoting tool needs to work with how you get square footage. Material calculations. Good software should help with waste factors, starter strips, ridge caps, and all the extras that turn a square count into an actual materials list. Multiple price tiers. Homeowners want options. Your software should make it easy to show 3-tab vs. architectural vs. designer shingles side-by-side. Photo documentation. Storm damage, existing condition, problem areas—photos are central to roofing sales. Your quoting tool should handle them well. Mobile-first design. You’re not quoting from an office. If it doesn’t work great on a phone or tablet, it doesn’t work. Speed. The first roofer to send a professional estimate often wins. Anything that slows you down costs you jobs.

The Top Roofing Quoting Software Options

1. BuildFolio

Pricing: Free tier available; Pro at $39/month Best For: Solo roofers and small crews who want AI-powered speed without enterprise costs. What It Does:

AI photo-to-quote: Upload job site photos, get suggested line items in seconds
Professional estimate PDFs with e-signature
Multiple pricing tiers (Good/Better/Best) built in
Free lead capture widget for your website
Job tracking from estimate through completion

What It Doesn’t Do:

No built-in satellite measurement (you’d use EagleView, Roofr Instant, or manual)
Limited material takeoff automation

Pricing Breakdown:

Free: Lead capture, basic quoting, invoicing
Pro ($39/month): AI quoting, automation, unlimited photos

Best Feature: AI analyzes damage photos and suggests line items—cuts quoting time from 30 minutes to under 5. Limitation: You’ll need a separate measurement tool for satellite takeoffs. Try it: Start Free

2. Roofr

Pricing: Pricing varies — check Roofr’s site for current plans Best For: Roofers who want integrated satellite measurements with quoting. What It Does:

Satellite roof measurements (their core product)
Material and labor calculators
Estimate templates
E-signatures
CRM features

Where It Focuses:

In our view, its core strength is measurements and estimating rather than being a broad all-in-one platform

Pricing:

Pricing varies by plan and features — check Roofr’s site

Best Feature: Integrated measurements + estimates. Get measurements and quotes from one platform. Consideration: Focused on roofing—if you do other trades, you may need additional software.

3. JobNimbus

Pricing: Pricing varies — check JobNimbus’s site for current details Best For: Growing roofing companies with sales teams. What It Does:

Full CRM with pipeline management
Measurement integrations (EagleView, GAF, etc.)
Material ordering connections
Team scheduling
Production boards
Marketing automation

Considerations:

In our view, expect a learning curve given the breadth of features

Pricing:

Pricing varies — check JobNimbus’s site

Best Feature: End-to-end roofing business management. From lead to production to payment. Consideration: In our view, it’s more than a solo roofer needs—the breadth makes the most sense once you’re doing significant volume with a team.

4. AccuLynx

Pricing: Pricing varies — check AccuLynx’s site for current details Best For: Established roofing companies focused on storm restoration. What It Does:

Insurance supplement tools
Material ordering (direct to suppliers)
Production management
Aerial measurement integrations
Finance integrations
Detailed reporting

Considerations:

In our view, it’s geared toward established operations rather than quick, lightweight setup

Pricing:

Pricing varies — check AccuLynx’s site

Best Feature: Insurance and supplement workflows. Built for storm damage restoration companies. Consideration: In our view, it’s aimed at established restoration companies rather than small residential roofers.

5. CompanyCam + Separate Quoting

Pricing: Pricing varies — check CompanyCam’s site (plus the cost of a separate quoting tool) Best For: Roofers who love CompanyCam for photos but need quoting added. What It Does:

Best-in-class job site photo organization
Before/during/after documentation
Team collaboration
Some estimate features built in

Where It Focuses:

In our view, it’s a photo-documentation tool first rather than a full estimating platform

Pricing:

Pricing varies — check CompanyCam’s site
You’ll likely want another tool for detailed estimates

Best Feature: Photo organization and documentation. In our view, it’s the standout for visual job tracking. Consideration: It’s a photo tool first. You’re still stitching together multiple apps for full quoting capability.

How to Choose: Decision Framework

If you’re a solo roofer doing under 15 jobs/month:

Best option: BuildFolio Pro ($39/month)

You need speed and professionalism without complexity. AI quoting lets you send estimates from the job site. Pair with a satellite measurement service when needed.

Why not enterprise tools: In our view, you’d be paying for features you won’t use. Tools like JobNimbus and AccuLynx are built for teams, not solo operators.

If you want measurements and quoting in one place:

Best option (in our view): Roofr

Their satellite measurements are solid, and the estimate builder works directly with measurement data. Less juggling between tools. Check their site for current pricing.

Why not others: Separate measurement + quoting tools work, but integrated is simpler if your budget allows.

If you’re building a roofing company (3+ people):

Best option (in our view): JobNimbus

Once you have a sales team, production crew, and office staff, you need software that coordinates everyone. JobNimbus is built around that full workflow. Check their site for current pricing.

Why not smaller tools: Solo tools don’t scale. When you’re managing multiple estimators and crews, you need team features.

If you do storm damage restoration:

Best option (in our view): AccuLynx

Insurance supplement workflows and claim management are core to the product. This is specialized software for a specialized business model. Check their site for current pricing.

Why not general tools: Storm work has unique workflows (supplements, adjusters, claim tracking) that general tools don’t handle well.

What About Generic Contractor Software?

You’ll see people recommend Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan for roofing. Here’s our take (pricing varies for each — check their sites):

Jobber: Good general contractor software. Not roofing-specific. Works fine but you’re adapting generic tools. Housecall Pro: Similar story. Built for service contractors (HVAC, plumbing). Roofers can use it, but in our view it’s not optimized for roofing workflows. ServiceTitan: Enterprise-grade, but again, not roofing-specific. In our view, it’s more than most residential roofing companies need.

These tools work. They’re just not built for how roofers think about estimates, measurements, and material takeoffs.

The Measurement Question

No matter which quoting tool you choose, you need measurements. Here are your options:

Satellite Measurement Services:

EagleView: per-report pricing — check their site
GAF QuickMeasure: pricing and eligibility vary — check GAF’s site
Roofr Instant: offered through Roofr — check their site for plan details
SkyMeasure: per-report pricing — check their site

Manual Measurement:

Still works, especially for walkable roofs
More accurate for complex structures
Takes time on-site

Drone Measurement:

Growing option for precision
Requires FAA Part 107 certification for commercial use
Software like DroneDeploy can generate measurements

Many quoting tools work with satellite measurement reports via copy/paste or direct integrations — BuildFolio works alongside EagleView-style reports, and check each vendor’s integrations page for what they support.

Making the Final Decision

Here’s my honest take:

If you’re not using any quoting software right now: Start with BuildFolio’s free tier. Get in the habit of digital quotes. It costs nothing to try. If you’re using spreadsheets or paper: Any of these tools is an upgrade. Pick based on your budget and complexity needs. If you’re already using something and it’s not working: Look at why. Is it too slow? (Try AI quoting.) Too expensive for what you get? (Look at lower-cost options.) Missing features? (Look at what specific features you need.) If you’re growing and need to scale: Plan for JobNimbus or similar. But don’t jump there too early—complexity has its own costs.

The best quoting software is the one you’ll actually use. A simple tool used consistently beats a powerful tool that sits unused.
