Roofing estimating software that measures the roof — pitch and all.
Upload the plans and get a roofing estimate in minutes — roof area, ridge, valley, and flashing measured with pitch accounted for, priced in your numbers.
Measuring a cut-up roof off a plan, correcting for pitch, and tallying ridge, valley, and flashing by hand is slow and error-prone — and material waste on a wrong area number comes straight out of your margin.
Why roofing contractors switch to EstimateBy
Everything you need to bid faster and more accurately — and stop paying for the parts you can automate.
Every roof plane, ridge, and valley is read straight off the plans, sheet by sheet, against the legend on each page. No skimming, no "close enough" — the count that leaves your desk is the count that's on the drawings.
A full-time roofing estimator runs $65,000–$95,000 a year. A takeoff service charges $150–$500 per plan set and takes days. EstimateBy does the same area takeoff in minutes for a flat monthly price — no salary, no per-plan invoice, no waiting.
The tedious part — counting area and pricing every line — is the part that eats your evenings and weekends. Drop the PDF, get a priced estimate back before your coffee's cold, and spend that time bidding more work or actually resting.
Load your own price book once and every takeoff comes back in your material and labor rates with your markup and margin baked in — never generic regional averages that leave money on the table or price you out of the job.
Send a branded proposal in one click, and EstimateBy follows up automatically until the customer views and accepts it online. The estimate that used to sit in your sent folder now closes itself.
Push every completed estimate into Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks or 6,000+ apps via webhook — automatically, the moment it's done. No re-keying line items into another system.
A roofing estimate, start to finish.
Every line pulled off the plans and priced — this is what lands in your dashboard, ready to review and send.
Representative roofing takeoff. Every count and measurement comes straight off the plans.
What the roofing takeoff pulls off your plans
EstimateBy reads your roofing plan set sheet by sheet and takes off architectural shingles with underlayment by the square foot (pitch-adjusted), ridge cap, valley flashing, drip edge and starter, and pipe boots and vents. It uses the legend and schedule on each page, measures every area to the square foot, and prices the whole estimate in your own catalog — so a roofing bid that used to take hours is done in minutes, and it's right.
Roofing estimating — questions
It counts and measures directly from the plan sheets using each page's legend and schedule — not a rough guess. On real plan sets it matches a careful hand takeoff, and you review and adjust every line before anything goes to a customer, so you're always in control of the final number.
No. EstimateBy does the roof-area takeoff and pricing that you'd otherwise pay a salaried estimator or a $150–$500-per-set service to do — for a flat monthly subscription, in minutes instead of days.
Yes. Add your material costs, labor rates, and markup once in your price book and every estimate comes back in your exact numbers with your margin applied.
Yes — completed estimates push automatically into Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, and thousands of other tools through webhooks and Zapier, so you're not double-entering anything.
