Roofing software. Stay on top of your roofing projects, by managing everything in one place. Built by construction pros with honest pricing.

What Is Roofing Software?

Roofing software is a digital platform built for roofing contractors to manage estimates, crew scheduling, material tracking, invoicing, and job documentation in one place. It replaces spreadsheets and paper systems so roofers can run more jobs with less admin work.

Projul’s roofing software helps roofing contractors manage estimates, crew scheduling, and material tracking from one platform built by construction professionals who understand the pace of running multiple roof jobs per week. Projul offers flat-rate pricing with no per-user fees for construction companies of all sizes.

If you run a roofing company, you already know the job is about more than nailing shingles. You are juggling bids, tracking material costs, scheduling crews around the weather, dealing with insurance adjusters, and trying to get paid before your next supply order is due. Roofing software exists to handle the business side so you can focus on the work.

Run Your Roofing Business Without the Chaos

Roofing jobs move fast when the weather cooperates and grind to a halt when it doesn’t. Between storm season surges, insurance paperwork, and crews spread across multiple job sites, running a roofing company without a system is a recipe for lost money and missed deadlines.

Projul helps roofing contractors manage weather-dependent schedules, track material orders by the square, coordinate subcontractors, and keep every project documented from first inspection through final invoice. Built by a former contractor who has actually been on the roof, Projul serves 5,000+ roofing and construction businesses.

Most tools on the market were designed by tech companies and then marketed to contractors. You can feel the difference when you use it. Workflows that don’t match how a real roofing project moves. Missing features everybody needs. Buttons in the wrong place. Projul is different because it started on a job site, not in a Silicon Valley office.

If you’re planning a full tear-off, our roofing tear-off and replacement guide walks through the process from shingle removal to final inspection. For new builds or structural repairs, check out our roof truss design and installation guide to get the framing right before anything goes on top. And if you’re bidding commercial flat roof work, our commercial flat roof systems guide covers TPO, EPDM, and built-up roofing options.

Roofing Estimates That Win More Work

Your estimate is your first impression. Send a sloppy bid and the homeowner goes with the contractor who looked more professional. Send a clean, itemized estimate from Projul and you look like the roofing company that has their act together.

Material Breakdowns by the Square

Roofing estimates live and die by accurate material takeoffs. You need to account for square footage, roof pitch, waste factor, and the specific materials for each section of the roof. Architectural shingles cost different than three-tab. Standing seam metal is a different world from TPO. Your estimate needs to reflect all of that clearly.

Projul’s estimating tools let you build detailed bids with line items for shingles, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ridge caps, ice and water shield, and every other material that goes on a roof. Break down costs by the square so the homeowner sees exactly what they are paying for. Include labor, disposal fees, and permit costs in one clean document.

Pitch Calculations and Waste Factors

Steep roofs take more material and more time. A 12/12 pitch job needs a completely different bid than a 4/12 walkable roof. Your estimate should reflect the real cost of the work, not a flat guess based on square footage alone.

Build your estimates in Projul with line items that account for pitch difficulty and waste percentages. Save templates for your most common roof types so you are not rebuilding bids from scratch every time. A standard tear-off and re-roof estimate that took you 45 minutes in a spreadsheet takes 15 minutes in Projul.

From Estimate to Signed Contract

When the homeowner says yes, that estimate converts directly into a scheduled project. The line items become your job cost budget. No re-entering data. No copy-paste errors. The client signs digitally and the work flows forward.

Roofing contractors using Projul save 2+ hours daily on sales admin and bid management. That is more bids out the door, which means more work coming in.

Storm Damage and Insurance Restoration Work

Storm season can make or break a roofing company’s year. When hail hits, you need to move fast. Inspect properties, document damage, file supplements, and coordinate with adjusters, all while managing your existing workload.

Photo Documentation That Protects You

Projul lets your crew take photos directly in the mobile app and attach them to the project record. Document the damage during inspection. Photograph each stage of the tear-off. Capture the completed work before you leave the site.

Every photo stays tied to the specific job with a timestamp. When an adjuster questions a line item six weeks later, you pull up the project and show them exactly what you found. No digging through camera rolls or text message threads.

Insurance Paperwork in One Place

Insurance restoration work generates a mountain of paperwork. Initial claims, supplements, adjuster reports, approval letters, and scope agreements. Lose one document and the whole process stalls.

Projul keeps all insurance documentation inside the project record. Attach supplements, log adjuster communications, track approval status, and see where every claim stands at a glance. When the claim is approved, convert it to a scheduled project with one click. Your crew gets the schedule notification and the materials list without you re-entering a single detail.

Supplement Tracking

Most insurance jobs need at least one supplement. You find hidden damage during tear-off, you document it, and you submit for additional payment. With Projul, the supplement documentation ties directly to the project. Your office staff can see which supplements are pending, which are approved, and how much revenue is waiting on adjuster decisions.

Schedule Crews Around the Weather

Weather is the single biggest scheduling variable in roofing. You cannot tear off a roof in the rain. You cannot lay shingles in a thunderstorm. And you cannot afford to have a crew sitting in the truck waiting for a forecast to change.

Drag-and-Drop Scheduling

Projul’s scheduling board shows every crew’s assignments across your active roofing jobs. When weather pushes a tear-off back two days, drag it on the calendar and your crew gets notified on their phone. Shift another job into the gap so nobody sits idle.

Seven schedule views, including Gantt charts and calendar, give you the visibility to keep every project moving. See your entire week. See every crew. Move things around until the puzzle fits.

Handle Seasonal Demand Spikes

Roofing is seasonal in most markets. Spring and summer bring a flood of work. Storm events can triple your backlog overnight. You go from “we could use another job” to “we’re booked six weeks out” in a single afternoon.

Your system needs to handle that surge without breaking. Projul scales from a handful of jobs to hundreds of active projects. When storm season hits, your scheduling board shows the full picture. You see which crews have capacity. You see which jobs are weather-dependent and can shift if conditions change. You fill every productive hour with revenue-generating work.

Dealing With Crew No-Shows

Every roofing contractor has dealt with a crew that doesn’t show up on Monday morning. Maybe it is your own guys. Maybe it is the subcontractor you were counting on for the flat roof section. Either way, you need to fill the gap fast.

Projul’s scheduling tools show you who is available and what other jobs can flex. Reassign crews with a few taps and everyone gets notified instantly. Your PM is not spending the first hour of the day making phone calls to sort out the mess.

Material Tracking for Roofing Jobs

Roofing materials are expensive and getting more so every year. Shingle prices fluctuate with oil markets. Metal costs swing with commodity prices. One wrong order and you are eating the difference or delaying the job.

Track Every Material by the Job

Projul lets you log material orders against specific projects. Know exactly how many squares of shingles, rolls of underlayment, and boxes of flashing are allocated to each job. When the delivery arrives short, log it in the app and the project record updates instantly.

This also feeds into your job costing. The materials your crew logs tie back to specific projects, so you know exactly where the money went. That connection between material tracking and job costing is what separates real roofing management software from a glorified spreadsheet.

Control Material Costs

When you track materials across every job, patterns emerge. You spot which suppliers are consistently short on deliveries. You see which roof types eat more waste than your estimates account for. You learn which crews are careful with materials and which ones are not.

That data helps you bid more accurately on the next job. Over time, your estimates get tighter, your margins get healthier, and you stop losing money on material overruns you did not see coming.

Job Costing That Tells You the Truth

Here is a question every roofing contractor should be able to answer at any moment: Am I making money on this project right now?

If you cannot answer that without spending an hour in a spreadsheet, your job costing system is broken. “I’ll figure it out when the job’s done” is how roofers lose money on projects they thought were profitable.

Projul tracks estimated costs versus actual costs on every project in real time. You see where your labor dollars are going. You see which material line items are running over. You see whether the project is on pace to hit your target margin or heading for a loss.

Catch Overruns Before They Eat Your Profit

The real value of job costing is not the final report. It is the warning at week two that labor is running 20% over estimate. That is when you can still do something about it. Reassign tasks. Talk to the crew. Adjust the plan.

Contractors using Projul report a 32% average increase in profitability. That number comes directly from catching cost overruns early and keeping projects on track.

Subcontractor Coordination

Most roofing companies use subcontractors for something. Maybe it is gutter installation. Maybe it is the flat roof section that needs a torch-down specialist. Maybe it is the solar panel crew that shows up after your shingles are on.

Coordinating subs means making sure they show up at the right time, have the information they need, and do not hold up your project. Projul lets you assign tasks to subcontractors, share project details they need without exposing your internal pricing, and track their progress alongside your own crews.

When the gutter sub finishes, they mark their task complete in the app. Your office sees it immediately and schedules the final inspection. No phone tag. No wondering whether the work is done.

Safety Compliance and Documentation

Roofing is one of the most dangerous trades in construction. Falls are the leading cause of death in the industry. OSHA takes roof safety seriously, and so should your documentation. For a deeper look at dedicated tools, see our best construction safety software comparison.

Projul helps you keep safety records tied to each project. Document toolbox talks, track safety certifications for your crew, and log any incidents with photos and notes inside the project record. When OSHA shows up or a client asks about your safety program, the documentation is right there.

Time Tracking With GPS Verification

Paper timesheets filled out from memory at the end of the week do not cut it for a roofing company running multiple crews. Guys round up. Nobody remembers exactly when they left one job site and arrived at another.

Projul’s time tracking includes geofencing. Your crew clocks in from the mobile app and the system verifies they are at the right job site. When payroll comes around, the data is already there. No guessing, no inflated hours, and every minute ties back to a specific project for accurate job costing.

Invoicing That Gets You Paid Faster

Slow invoicing is slow money. And in roofing, cash flow is everything. If you are waiting until the end of a project to send an invoice, you are basically giving your client a free loan.

Projul lets you invoice throughout the project. Send deposit invoices before work starts. Bill for completed phases as you go. Add change orders with one click. Your clients can pay online directly from the invoice, which means faster payments with less chasing.

Change Orders on the Roof

Every roofer has a story about a change order that never got documented. The homeowner asked for an upgrade to architectural shingles while your crew was on the roof. The work got done. Nobody wrote it down. Now you are eating the cost.

Projul tracks change orders inside the project record. Document the scope, get digital approval, and the change order automatically updates your budget and your invoice.

Mobile App Your Crew Will Actually Use

Roofers are not sitting at a desk. They are on a ladder, on a roof, or driving between job sites. Your tools have to work on a phone or they do not work at all.

Projul’s native iOS and Android app was designed for the field first. Big buttons. Simple navigation. It works on a dusty phone with one bar of signal. Your crew is using it by lunch on day one.

From the app, your team can clock in with GPS verification, view their schedule, update task status, take and attach photos, send messages, and log materials. Everything syncs to the office in real time.

QuickBooks Integration

Double-entering data into your accounting software is a waste of time and a source of errors. Projul integrates with QuickBooks Online so your invoices, payments, and customer records sync automatically.

When you send an invoice in Projul, it shows up in QuickBooks. When the client pays, both systems update. Your bookkeeper does not need to re-enter anything.

Why Roofing Contractors Switch to Projul

Most roofers come to Projul after trying one or two other platforms that did not fit. The story is usually the same. The last tool was too expensive, too complicated, or built for general contractors instead of roofing companies.

Here is what makes Projul different:

• Built by a contractor. Kurt Clayson started Projul after years of running his own construction company. Every feature exists because a real contractor needed it.
• Flat-rate pricing. $4,788 per year for your entire company. No per-user fees. Your estimators, crew leads, office staff, and subs all get full access.
• All-in-one platform. CRM, estimating, scheduling, job costing, time tracking, invoicing, material tracking, and photo documentation. One login. One place.
• Rated 9.8 on G2. For both ease of use and quality of support. That is not marketing spin. That is contractors voting with their reviews.
• Over 5,000 contractors. From one-truck operations to companies with 200+ employees. The platform scales with you.

Roofing Project Management Software That Runs Like Your Business

Most roofing project management software tries to force your workflow into someone else’s system. You end up clicking through screens that do not match how a roof job actually moves - from lead to inspection to estimate to tear-off to install to final walk.

Projul follows the way roofing contractors actually work. Create a project and set up phases that match your process. Your sales rep logs the lead. Your estimator builds the bid with material breakdowns by the square. The homeowner signs digitally. The project drops onto your scheduling board and your crew sees it on their phone. No re-entering data. No copy-paste between systems.

Managing 20+ Active Roof Jobs at Once

When storm season hits or spring brings a surge, you go from a handful of active jobs to 20, 30, or more in a matter of weeks. That is when roofing project management software earns its keep.

Projul shows every active project on one board. You see which jobs are waiting on materials, which are scheduled for tear-off this week, which are stuck on an insurance approval, and which are ready for final invoice. Your project managers stop spending their mornings making phone calls to figure out where things stand - they open Projul and the answer is right there.

Connecting Your Sales Pipeline to Production

The gap between selling a roof and installing it is where most roofing companies lose money and time. Your sales team closes a deal, but the handoff to production is messy. The estimate lives in one system. The schedule lives in another. The material order is on a sticky note. By the time your crew shows up, half the details are missing.

Projul connects your lead pipeline to your estimating, scheduling, and production tools. When a lead becomes a sold job, everything carries forward - the estimate, the material list, the customer info, the photos from the inspection. Your production team picks up exactly where sales left off.

For roofing contractors running both retail and insurance restoration work, this connection is critical. Insurance jobs have different workflows than retail jobs, and Projul lets you manage both from the same platform without losing track of either.

Why Roofers Are Switching From Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets work until they do not. And for most roofing companies, they stop working right around the time you hit 15 active projects. Formulas break. Tabs get stale. Nobody trusts the numbers. You spend more time managing the spreadsheet than managing the work.

Roofing project management software like Projul gives you a single source of truth. Your job costs update in real time. Your schedule reflects what is actually happening. Your crew logs progress from the field. When you open Projul in the morning, you see the real picture - not last week’s guess.

Roofing Software vs. Doing It the Old Way

Still on the fence about whether roofing contractor software is worth it? Here is what the manual approach actually costs you.

Estimating by spreadsheet: You spend 45 minutes per estimate. Templates break. Formulas get overwritten. You send a bid with a pricing error and either eat the cost or lose the client. With roofing estimating software, you build an estimate in 15 minutes using saved templates, and the math is always right.

Scheduling on a whiteboard: It works until storm season hits and you have 30 active jobs. Then someone erases the wrong line, a crew shows up at the wrong site, and you spend your morning on the phone sorting it out. Software for roofers puts the schedule on everyone’s phone and updates it in real time.

Job costing after the fact: You finish a project, add up the receipts, and discover you lost money. That knowledge does not help on a job that is already done. Real-time job costing in your roofing management software warns you at week two, not month four.

Insurance docs in a filing cabinet: You cannot find the supplement when the adjuster calls. The approval letter is in someone’s email. The before photos are on a crew member’s personal phone. Projul keeps everything in one project record.

The math is simple. The time you waste on manual processes costs more than the software. Most contractors make back their Projul subscription in the first month from time savings alone.

Storm Damage Insurance Supplement Tracking That Actually Works

Insurance restoration work is where roofing companies either make serious money or drown in paperwork. The job itself is straightforward enough. Hail hits a neighborhood, you inspect properties, you file claims, you do the work. But between the initial claim and the final payment, there is a mountain of supplements, adjuster negotiations, and approval timelines that can stall your cash flow for months if you do not have a system to track it all.

The biggest problem most roofers face with insurance work is supplement management. You tear off a roof and find rotted decking that was not in the original scope. You document it, photograph it, and submit a supplement to the insurance company. Then you wait. And wait. Meanwhile, your crew needs to keep working, your material supplier wants payment, and the homeowner is calling every other day asking when their roof will be finished.

Projul gives you a clear view of every insurance job in your pipeline and where each supplement stands. Attach the original claim, the adjuster’s report, your supplement documentation, and the approval letter all inside the same project record. Your office staff can filter projects by insurance status and see at a glance which supplements are pending, which are approved, and which need follow-up. No more digging through email chains or filing cabinets to find the right document for the right job.

For roofers running 20, 30, or 50 insurance jobs at a time during storm season, this tracking is not optional. It is the difference between collecting every dollar you are owed and leaving thousands on the table because a supplement fell through the cracks. Every communication with the adjuster gets logged in the project timeline, so when you need to escalate a stalled claim, you have a complete record of every call, email, and submission date.

The financial side matters just as much. Projul’s budgeting tools let you track the original claim amount, each supplement amount, and the total approved value against your actual costs. You see your real margin on every insurance job, not just what you think you are making. Roofers who track supplements properly collect 15 to 25% more per job than those who let paperwork pile up and miss submission deadlines. That is real money on every roof you touch during storm season.

Your accounting needs clean data too. When supplements are approved and payments come in at different times, your QuickBooks integration keeps everything matched to the right project. No more mystery deposits or unallocated insurance payments sitting in your books.

Drone Inspection Documentation for Roofing Contractors

Drones have changed how roofers inspect properties, and the contractors who use them well are winning more bids and closing insurance claims faster. But the drone itself is only half the equation. What matters is what you do with the footage after you fly.

Most roofing companies that own a drone use it to snap a few photos, maybe shoot a quick video, and then those files end up scattered across SD cards, personal phones, and random desktop folders. Six weeks later when the adjuster asks for the inspection photos, nobody can find them. The drone paid for itself in safety savings by keeping your guy off a steep roof, but you lost the documentation value because you did not have a system to store and organize the footage.

Projul solves this by giving every inspection photo and video a home inside the project record. Fly your drone, capture the damage, and upload the imagery directly to the job in Projul’s mobile app or from your desktop. Tag photos by roof section, type of damage, or any other category that makes sense for your workflow. When the adjuster needs to see the north-facing slope where the hail impact was worst, you pull it up in seconds.

For a deeper look at how contractors are using drones on the job, our construction drone guide covers FAA regulations, equipment recommendations, and workflow best practices that apply directly to roofing inspections.

The real advantage shows up when you are doing volume work after a storm event. You might inspect 15 to 20 properties in a single day during a canvass. Each inspection generates dozens of photos. Without a system, those photos get mixed up between properties and you spend hours sorting them out at the end of the day. With Projul, each property is its own project record. Photos go directly into the right job as you fly each roof. Your estimator opens the project, reviews the drone imagery, and builds the claim documentation without ever asking “which house was this?”

Drone documentation also strengthens your position during supplement negotiations. When you can show the adjuster time-stamped aerial photos of damage that was not visible from the ground, your supplement request carries more weight. The photos and document management tools in Projul keep every image organized, dated, and tied to the specific project so your documentation tells a clear story from first inspection through completed repair.

Insurance companies are increasingly expecting drone imagery as part of the claims process. Roofers who show up with organized aerial documentation look more professional and get their claims processed faster than those who hand over a stack of blurry phone photos. Your drone is an investment. Projul makes sure that investment pays off on every job by keeping the footage organized, accessible, and tied to the project where it belongs.

Multi-Crew Storm Chasing Coordination

When a major hail event hits, roofing companies go into overdrive. You are deploying canvassers to knock doors across multiple neighborhoods. You have inspection teams following behind the canvassers. Estimators are writing bids as fast as properties come in. And your production crews need to start work on the first batch of approved jobs while new inspections are still happening three zip codes away.

Coordinating all of that with phone calls and group texts is a nightmare. Your canvass team marks a property as inspected, but the estimator does not know about it until someone sends a text. An adjuster approves a claim, but your production scheduler does not find out until the homeowner calls asking when work starts. Every handoff between teams is a chance for information to fall through a crack, and during storm season those cracks add up to lost revenue.

Projul puts every team on the same platform with real-time visibility into every job. Your canvasser creates the lead in Projul’s lead pipeline. The inspector picks it up, flies the drone, and attaches photos. The estimator builds the claim and submits it. The office tracks the insurance approval. The production scheduler assigns a crew the day the claim is approved. Every step happens inside the same project record, so there is no handoff where information gets lost.

For roofing companies that deploy crews across a wide geographic area during storm events, the scheduling board becomes your command center. See which crews are in which part of town. See which jobs are ready for tear-off and which are still waiting on materials. When a crew finishes a job early, reassign them to the next property in the same neighborhood instead of sending them across town.

GPS time tracking through geofenced time tracking shows you exactly where your crews are and confirms they are at the right job site. During storm season when you have 8 or 10 crews working simultaneously, that visibility keeps your operation running tight. Your project managers are not spending their mornings calling every crew lead to confirm they showed up. They open Projul and see the real picture.

The communication tools in Projul keep your teams connected without the chaos of a group text with 30 people in it. Project-level messaging means the conversation about a specific job stays with that job. Your estimator can ask the inspector a question about the north slope, and the answer is right there in the project record for anyone who needs it later. No scrolling through 200 text messages to find the one piece of information you need.

Storm chasing is a team sport, and the roofing companies that coordinate their teams well during a surge event pull ahead of the competition. While other roofers are losing leads because their follow-up is slow and their scheduling is chaotic, you are moving properties from inspection to completed repair in half the time because everyone is working from the same system.

Roof Measurement and Material Ordering Accuracy

Getting roof measurements wrong costs you money in two directions. Underestimate the square footage and you run short on materials mid-job, which means an emergency supply run, a crew standing around waiting, and a delivery fee that was not in your budget. Overestimate and you are returning bundles of shingles and eating the restocking fee, or sitting on surplus material that takes up space in your yard.

The margin for error on roofing material orders is tight. A standard residential roof might need 25 to 35 squares of shingles, plus underlayment, drip edge, flashing, ridge cap, and ice and water shield for the valleys and eaves. Each of those materials has its own quantity calculation based on the roof dimensions, pitch, and complexity. A hip roof needs more ridge cap than a simple gable. A roof with six valleys needs more ice and water shield than one with two. Every detail affects the order.

Projul’s estimating tools let you build material lists that account for all of these variables. Create templates for your most common roof types. A standard gable re-roof template. A hip roof template. A cut-up roof template with multiple valleys and dormers. Each template includes every material line item with quantities based on the square footage and waste factors based on the roof complexity.

When you measure a roof, whether from a satellite image, a drone survey, or boots on the deck, enter the measurements into your Projul estimate and the material quantities calculate automatically based on your template. Your waste factor accounts for the cuts, the overlaps, and the starter courses. The result is a material order that matches what you actually need on the job, not a rough guess that leaves you short or sitting on extras.

For roofing companies that order materials for multiple jobs each week, accuracy on every order adds up. If you save $200 in avoided overages on each of 10 jobs per month, that is $2,000 back in your pocket. Over a year, tighter material ordering puts $24,000 or more back into your margin. That is real money that comes directly from measuring right and ordering right on every single roof.

The connection between your estimate and your material order also matters for supplier relationships. When you consistently order the right quantities, your supplier notices. You become the roofer who does not return half the order or call in a panic for an emergency delivery every other week. That reliability can earn you better pricing, priority delivery during busy season, and first access to materials when supply gets tight.

Track your actual material usage against your estimates using Projul’s budgeting tools and refine your templates over time. Maybe your waste factor on architectural shingles needs to go from 10% to 12% based on your crew’s actual usage. Maybe your ice and water shield quantities are consistently over by a roll. The data from completed jobs makes your future estimates more accurate, which makes your material orders tighter, which makes your margins healthier on every roof you touch.
