Roofing

Storm on Monday. Five inspections Tuesday. Six bids out Wednesday or you lose the jobs.

Roofing runs on speed. Weather-dependent, competitive, and half of every week is bidding against the next contractor on the list. Insurance jobs want documentation down to the drip edge. Retail jobs want a number fast or they call someone else.

Jobkore runs from the phone. Quote from the roof, invoice after the punch walk, and collect online before the supplier bills you for the bundles.

A roofing bid is tear-off, deck, underlayment, shingles, and flashing.

"New roof — $12,000" does not win insurance work and barely wins retail. Adjusters want line items for every component — tear-off, decking replacement allowance, underlayment, shingles, drip edge, vents, flashing, cleanup. Build the estimate in sections so the adjuster can match your scope to theirs and the homeowner sees a real breakdown.

Insurance bids that hold up get approved faster. Retail bids that show the scope win more jobs.

Change orders for rotten decking and surprise flashing.

You tear off and find rotted decking. The chimney flashing was never done right. The valley needs ice-and-water the bid did not allow for. Write each as a change order against the original estimate — scope, price, signature — before the new material goes down. Adjusters accept properly documented change orders. Homeowners sign off when the paperwork is clean.

Material deposit, install draw, final at cleanup.

Most roofing jobs bill in at least two stages. A material deposit before the crew shows up, and a final after the install passes inspection and the nails are picked up. Bigger commercial jobs add a progress draw. Pull every invoice from the same estimate so the math stays clean.

Hank AI™ turns your roof inspection into a bid in seconds.

You climbed the roof, photographed shingle wear and flashing, noted the square count, and jotted what needs to be replaced. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and in seconds the estimate is structured — tear-off, decking, underlayment, shingles, flashing, cleanup. Your pricing goes on top.

Hank never invents square counts, rates, or margins. It organizes what you observed.
