Roofing jobs are big-ticket and big-risk. Job Assistant gets your estimate in front of the homeowner first, the contract signed before the first shingle comes off, and the deposit collected before you order material.
From $25/month · No credit card required
Homeowners collect three bids — the roofer who sends a clean, itemized estimate first usually wins.
Tearing off a roof without a signed contract is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
You find rotten decking mid-job and there's no written approval for the extra cost.
Fronting thousands in material without a deposit puts your cash on the roof before theirs.
Itemized bids that win
Tear-off, underlayment, shingles, flashing, haul-away — line-item the whole roof so the homeowner sees exactly what the money buys and stops comparing you to a lowball number.
Signed before tear-off
Attach your contract to the estimate. The homeowner e-signs on their phone, and you have it in writing before any shingles move.
Deposit before you order
Collect a card deposit to cover material before you order, then the balance the day the job wraps.
Decking surprises, covered
Find rot under the shingles? Send a change order the homeowner approves from their phone — extra work becomes extra revenue, not a loss.
What's the best estimating app for roofers?
For solo roofers and small crews, look for fast line-item estimates, e-signed contracts, deposits, and change orders in one app. Job Assistant covers that whole flow from your phone at $25/month.
Can I collect a roofing deposit by card?
Yes. Job Assistant invoices support a deposit amount the homeowner pays online by card, so material money is in your account before you order.
How do I handle rotten decking I find mid-job?
Send a change order from the roof. The homeowner gets a link, sees the added cost in writing, and approves it from their phone — so the extra work is documented and billable.
