What this roofing business software does

Everything a small roofing company runs on, in one place.

You get a dashboard, a crew schedule, a calendar, reports, leads, estimates, insurance claims, a price book, customers, maintenance plans, jobs and field reports.

It also tracks tasks, change orders, callbacks, permits and inspections, safety, crew, subcontractors, suppliers, tools and vehicles, and materials and stock.

Invoices, purchase orders, expenses and timesheets are included. You can export to CSV or JSON backup, and the app runs in English and Spanish.

Roofing estimates from a price book

Set your shingles, metal, TPO, underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, vents, decking, tear-off and dumpsters once, each with a cost, a sell price and crew hours. Add them to a roofing estimate in one pick.

Tax, cost and gross margin update as you build. The estimate prints on your letterhead with a signature line, and an accepted one becomes a job in one click.

A roof takeoff with pitch and waste

Enter the plan area of each roof section, pick the pitch from flat to 12/12 and add a waste percentage. The takeoff shows true roof squares and rounds up to whole bundles, rolls and pieces.

It then adds the lines to the estimate, with crew hours as a labor line. It works from the numbers you enter; it does not measure a roof from satellite images.

An insurance claim tracker for storm work

Carrier, claim and policy number, cause and date of loss, adjuster and visit date, RCV, ACV, deductible and supplement requested and approved, with a tick for each check as it arrives.

It works out the first check, the depreciation held back and what the carrier still owes you, and prints a claim worksheet.

A crew schedule

One row per crew lead and one column per day. Every job is a card; click the + in an empty cell to book a roof into that slot. The calendar adds adjuster visits, inspections and invoice due dates. You enter and move the jobs yourself.

Job costing and invoicing

Job price plus approved change orders, minus expenses and crew hours at their rate. Service, deposit, progress, final, change-order and credit-memo invoices, with Paid, Partial and Overdue worked out for you.

Permits, callbacks, safety and stock

Building permits, mid-roof and final inspections and HOA approvals with an alert on a failed inspection, leak callbacks and warranty work, fall protection and ladder checks, and bundles, rolls and drip edge against a minimum level with low-stock alerts.

Roofing business software for storm work, honestly

The last check is the one that gets forgotten.

After a hail storm, a roofing company is paid in pieces: a first check, a supplement and the depreciation held back. The roofing business management software you choose should show which of them has arrived. It should also say where its limits are.

What each carrier still owes

Tick “First (ACV) check received”, “Supplement check received” and “Depreciation check received” as the money comes in. The dashboard totals what every carrier still owes you.

Depreciation ready to request

A finished roof whose depreciation has not been requested is flagged on the dashboard, next to the adjuster visits coming up, so the money does not sit with the carrier.

Works with no signal

The file runs offline in your browser, on a laptop or tablet, in the truck or on the roof. Nothing needs a connection once it is downloaded.

What it does not do

No satellite measurement, no customer portal, no texts or emails sent from the app, no card processing and no two people editing at once. It records the numbers and prints the worksheet; it is not legal or insurance advice.

How a roofing job runs

From estimate to paid in four steps.

Estimate it

Add the customer, then build the estimate from your price book. Use the roof takeoff for squares and bundles, and print it for the customer to sign.

Schedule it

Accept the estimate and it becomes a job with its price, cost budget and roof size. Put it on the crew schedule with a crew lead and a day.

Do it and cost it

File the field report, log hours and expenses against the job, and record any change orders, such as rotten decking. Margin and price per square update themselves.

Invoice and collect

Raise the invoice, record the payment and see what is still owed, by the customer and by the carrier. Callbacks and maintenance renewals show up before they are forgotten.

Why roofers switch

You are not really choosing between two roofing software packages.

Most roofing software is rented by the month, and the records live on somebody else’s server. Spreadsheets are free but cannot build an estimate from a price book or track a claim to the last check.

This business software for roofing contractors is a file you own, with the roofing-specific parts built in.

The subscription column is a general description of roofing software sold by the month, not a claim about any single company — features and pricing differ, so check each site.

OwnDesk Roofing is single-computer software: it does not sync between devices, measure roofs from images, send messages or process card payments.

Questions

Before you buy.

What is roofing business software?

Roofing business software is the tool a roofing company runs its estimates, jobs, crews and invoices in. For roofing that also means a roof takeoff with pitch and waste, a price book of shingles, underlayment and flashing, permits and inspections, and, for storm work, a way to track insurance claims. This one puts all of it in one offline file, so an accepted estimate carries straight into a job and an invoice.

Is this roofing business management software for a small company?

Yes. It is built for an owner-operator or a roofing company of a few crews: leads, estimates, insurance claims, jobs, a crew schedule, permits and inspections, callbacks, safety records, subcontractors, suppliers, materials, purchase orders, expenses, timesheets and invoices, with 26 modules in one file. There are no user accounts, so it is a one-person-at-a-time office tool.

What is the best all-in-one software for running a roofing business in 2026?

It depends on how you work. If you need several people editing the same jobs live, customer texts and aerial roof measurements, a cloud roofing platform does that, for a monthly fee. If you want estimating, job costing, a crew schedule, permits, insurance claims and invoicing in one file you own, with no subscription, this is built for exactly that. It does not do aerial measurement, a customer portal or live sync.

Is it complete business software for roofing contractors?

It covers the business side from the first call to the paid invoice: leads, estimates, claims, jobs, crews, costs and invoices. It is not a replacement for everything a large platform offers. There is no satellite measurement, no customer portal, no texts or emails sent from the app and no sync between devices, which is the trade for paying once instead of every month.

How does the roof takeoff work?

Inside an estimate you open the roof takeoff, enter the plan area of each roof section in square feet, choose the pitch from flat to 12/12 and add a waste percentage. It shows the true roof area in squares and rounds up to whole bundles, rolls and pieces from your own price book, then adds the lines to the estimate, with crew hours as a labor line. It works from numbers you enter and does not read satellite images, drawings or photos.

Can it track insurance claims and depreciation for storm work?

Yes. Each claim stores the carrier, claim and policy number, cause and date of loss, adjuster and visit date, RCV, ACV, deductible and supplements. It works out the first check (ACV minus the deductible), the depreciation held back (RCV minus ACV) and what the carrier still owes you, and the dashboard totals it and flags finished roofs whose depreciation has not been requested. It is a record-keeping tool, not legal or insurance advice.

Is it roof coating business software, or can I use it for repairs and commercial roofs?

You can use it for coating, repair, metal and flat-roof work because the price book is yours: add each line with your own cost and sell price and use the area takeoff. It has no coating-specific calculator, such as coverage per gallon, so you set the coverage yourself. Maintenance plans cover annual inspections and commercial roof maintenance programs.

Does it do job costing and invoicing?

Yes. Job cost comes from the expenses booked to the job plus crew hours times their rate, and the margin is the job price, including approved change orders, minus that cost, with the price per square on the dashboard. Invoices can be service, deposit, progress billing, final, change order or credit memo, and Paid, Partial and Overdue are worked out for you. Every estimate and invoice prints on your own letterhead.

How much does roofing business management software cost?

Roofing software is usually sold as a monthly subscription, and the price depends on the company, the plan and the number of users, so check each site for the current figure. This one is a single payment for the file, with no monthly fee and no per-user charge.

Can it take card payments, sync with accounting software or run payroll?

No. It records payments against an invoice, by card, check, cash, transfer or financing, and shows what is still owed. The money moves through the terminal or app you already use. It exports CSV for your accountant but does not sync with accounting software, and payroll stays with your payroll provider.

Can several people use it at the same time?

No, and this is the honest limit worth knowing before you buy. There is no cloud sync and no shared database, so it is one computer at a time. A second office computer can work from a copy by restoring a backup file, but the two copies do not merge.

Where are my records stored, and is there a subscription?

Records live inside your browser, on your own computer, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Settings has a backup export and, in Chrome and Edge, an automatic backup file. Keep a backup somewhere else. There is no subscription: one payment for the file, no account, no server, no monthly fee.
