Roofing

You are on the roof, not in an office. Your estimates should not take longer than the tear-off.

Roofing is fast-paced, weather-dependent, and competitive. You are measuring squares, calculating waste, pricing materials against supplier quotes, and trying to get bids out before the homeowner calls the next guy. On top of that, half your jobs involve insurance adjusters who want itemized documentation down to the drip edge.

Jobkore was built by a licensed contractor who needed something better than a spreadsheet and a prayer. It handles estimates, invoices, change orders, and payments — the core of what a roofing business actually needs to run.

Estimates that break down every layer

A roofing estimate is not just "new roof — $12,000." Clients and adjusters want to see tear-off, underlayment, shingles or material, flashing, vents, cleanup — each as its own line. Jobkore lets you organize estimates into sections with line items, descriptions, quantities, and rates so every cost is accounted for.

For insurance jobs, this level of detail is not optional — the adjuster needs to match your estimate against their scope. For retail jobs, it builds trust. The homeowner sees exactly what they are getting and why it costs what it costs. You win more jobs when the estimate tells a clear story.

Change orders for what the roof is hiding

You tear off the old shingles and find rotten decking. Or the fascia is shot and needs to be replaced before you can install the drip edge. These are real costs that were not in the original scope, and if you do not document them, you eat them.

Jobkore handles change orders as separate documents tied to the original estimate. Each one gets its own line items, approval, signature, and invoice. The homeowner sees exactly what changed, signs off on the additional cost, and you have a paper trail that protects both sides — especially useful when insurance is involved.

Hank AI turns your roof inspection into a bid

You climb up, take photos of the existing shingles, note the square count, check the flashing and vents, and jot down what needs to be replaced. Hank AI reads your notes and photos and organizes everything into structured estimate sections — tear-off, underlayment, material, flashing, cleanup. You review, add your numbers, and send.

For a roofer running five or six bids after a storm, Hank is the difference between getting estimates out the same day and losing jobs to the company that did. Speed matters in roofing, and the estimate is where most contractors lose time.

Invoice the deposit and final, collect online

Most roofing jobs bill in two stages — a material deposit before the crew shows up and a final after completion and inspection. Jobkore lets you create multiple invoices against the same estimate, track what has been paid, and collect payments online through Stripe.

Your client gets a link, pays with a credit card or bank transfer, and you are not waiting for a check to clear before you can pay your supplier. Stripe handles the processing at their standard rate — Jobkore charges zero additional fees on top. For insurance jobs, the homeowner can pay their portion online as soon as the supplement is approved.

One dashboard for every job on the board

Revenue this month, outstanding balances, overdue invoices, estimates waiting for approval — all in one place. Whether you are running one crew or three, you know exactly where your business stands without sorting through paperwork in the truck.
