A Clearer Scope. A Better Roofing Quote. A More Organized Job.
Build customer-ready roofing paperwork around inspections, measurements, materials, change orders and job closeout.
Start with the right Roofing tool
Choose a free starting point, the complete one-time toolkit, or separately billed cloud software.
The $99 toolkit is a standalone digital download; cloud workspace access is a separate recurring subscription.
Built around real roofing jobs—not generic paperwork
Roofing proposals work best when the material specifications, scope, project timing and payment procedures are explicit. A lower bid with unclear exclusions is not necessarily comparable.
The core SGL buying path is the complete one-time Roofing business toolkit. If you only need one piece of the workflow, the calculator, forms, proposal builder and operating tools can also be explored individually.
A realistic roofing job example
A roof inspection identifies a leaking flashing detail. The proposal should distinguish inspection findings from the authorized repair, identify the roof plane, access and pitch, materials, protective work, disposal and expected duration. If opening the roof exposes deteriorated decking, the added work needs a distinct documented change and customer authorization before invoicing.

From inspection to job closeout to an organized business record
Organize quantities, proposed repairs, job changes and completed work. The complete industry listing shows the available components and file formats.
The business workflow, step by step
Step 1
Record the roof and issue
Identify affected areas, roof type, access, observed conditions and inspection references.
Step 2
Estimate the defined scope
Measure areas and quantities; account for waste, flashing, underlayment, labor, access and disposal.
Step 3
Control changes
Keep allowances and concealed-condition changes separate from the initial approved proposal.
Step 4
Complete the record
Document installed scope, job photos as needed, invoice, completion notes and warranty references.
Start with the whole toolkit—or choose only what you need
For an owner managing repeated jobs, the complete toolkit is the primary way to explore the industry edition. Every component also has its own product listing so you can compare the scope before deciding.

Roofing business systems: common questions
What should a roofing estimate include?
Measured scope, materials, flashing and underlayment details, tear-off and disposal, labor, access assumptions, anticipated timing, price and exclusions.
What happens when damaged decking is discovered?
Document the condition, separately price the additional work, and secure approval through a change order.
Why separate a roof inspection from a repair bid?
The inspection records what is observed; the repair bid defines the work the customer is being asked to authorize.
