Roofing bidding software for contractors: The end of the tape measure

Mark Williams

Founder & Former Exterior Contractor

The roofing industry has completely modernized. If you are still climbing an extension ladder with a 100-foot tape measure to calculate squares for a tear-off, you are wasting time and risking your life.

Professional roofing bidding software for contractors has replaced the physical walkaround entirely.

Calculating Roof Squares Remotely

Roofing is priced by the "square" (100 square feet). To get an accurate quote, you need the total surface area.

Using RemoteQuoter, you trace the 2D footprint of the roof from the satellite view. Let's say the footprint is 2,500 square feet.

Next, you use the integrated Street View to analyze the pitch. If the roof has a moderate 6/12 pitch, you apply your pitch multiplier (roughly 1.12).

  • 2,500 footprint × 1.12 multiplier = 2,800 true square feet.
  • 2,800 sq ft ÷ 100 = 28 Squares.

Keep your boots on the ground.
