Here’s a peek at how our online roof estimator tool works
You know it’s almost time for a roof replacement, but having to call around to roofing companies and schedule a bunch of 4-hour blocks for someone to show up (or not) and give a quote sounds like a total hassle. We agree. That’s why we offer our free online estimator that uses the same technology as Google Maps to scope out an aerial view of your address, then give you a reliable estimate based on the type of roof you want.
Below, we break down exactly how the estimator tool works step by step so you can confidently and quickly get a roof replacement quote online.
Choose your building type
When you open our estimator tool and select “Get started,” we begin by asking what type of building you need a quote for, residential (your home) or commercial (a business).
2. Enter your address
The instant estimator will automatically zoom in on your address and outline the structure it will consider. Don’t worry if the outline is slightly off; the estimator will still be able to get a reasonably accurate estimate of square footage.
3. Choose how steep your roof is
Let us know if your roof steepness is flat, low, moderate, or steep. If you’re not quite sure, take your best guess.
4. Let us know what’s currently on your roof
The most common roofing materials for our area are asphalt shingles and metal. Answering this question helps us understand what we might need to remove before a new roof goes on.
5. Decide which type of roof you want
Our instant estimator can give you pricing for an asphalt shingle or metal roof. If you’re interested in another type of roof material, contact us to discuss.
6. Let us know when you’d like to start
If you’re exploring roofing prices for the first time, you may not have a timeline. But if you’re ready to sell your home or have pressing damage that needs to be fixed, let us know that you’d like to start immediately.
7. Tell us if you want to explore financing
Let us know if you want to learn more about the financing we offer through our partners. If you’re using insurance or already have a plan to pay out of pocket, choose “no”.
8. Let us know any other details
This is an optional section that allows you to tell us more about your project. Let us know anything that would potentially change the quote, such as if your home currently has solar panels, if you have skylights, or if the existing roof has severe damage requiring structural repairs.
9. receive your estimate
Once you enter a few communication details, we’ll share the quote with you via email. This also inputs your name in our system so we can follow up with you. We know you might not one more thing in your email inbox, but know that you can opt out at any time.
10. Smile, relax, and review your estimate
That’s it. Simple, right? The whole process takes less than five minutes.
Once you receive your quote, you can move forward in a few ways. If you want to continue down the road of not having to speak to a person, we give you the ability to schedule your free estimate online. We offer time slots on Tuesday and Thursday and give you a one-hour window so you’re not stuck waiting around all day for someone to show up.
