RoofRecon brings roof-report operations into one focused workspace for roofing contractors, estimators, inspectors, and production teams. Organize incoming work, create and review reports, capture field evidence, and keep every property moving from intake through follow-up. WORK FROM A CLEAR QUEUE See active and completed reports in one place. Search by address or report number, review status at a glance, and open the property you need without digging through separate tools. CREATE AND REVIEW ROOF REPORTS Start report intake from a property address and review available roof measurements, diagrams, facets, pitch, edges, and gutter details. Report contents depend on the data available for each property and your RoofRecon plan. CAPTURE FIELD PHOTOS Use the iPhone or iPad camera to attach job-site photos to the correct report. A durable sync queue helps protect field work when connectivity changes, then uploads evidence when service is available. TRACK STORM ACTIVITY Use the Storm Center to review saved alert zones, affected areas, and storm criteria relevant to the properties and markets your team follows. KEEP OPERATIONS CONNECTED Access leads, carrier information, team settings, billing controls, support, and account tools from the app. When a report is ready for the next stage, Send to ReconCRM moves the qualified work into the ReconCRM customer and pipeline workspace without duplicate entry. BUILT FOR OFFICE AND FIELD RoofRecon supports iPhone and iPad, with complete light and dark appearances designed for desk work, site visits, and everything between. Eligible monthly plans can be purchased, restored, and managed through the App Store. Existing RoofRecon web subscriptions continue to work in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Roofexa is the field app for roofing and exterior contractors. Measure a roof from aerial imagery, build a priced estimate on the spot, and get it signed before you leave the driveway. MEASURE WITHOUT CLIMBING Type an address and Roofexa reads the roof from aerial imagery: squares, pitch and facets, with the outline drawn on the map. Adjust anything by hand when the property needs it. ESTIMATE ON SITE Turn measurements into a priced proposal using your own material and labor pricing. Edit line items directly on the document, preview the PDF, and send it while you are still at the house. GET IT SIGNED The homeowner opens a secure link on their phone, reviews the proposal and signs with a finger. You see the moment it is viewed and the moment it is approved. THE WHOLE JOB FILE, IN YOUR POCKET - Photos: shoot before, during and after work and file them against the right customer - Projects: track every job through your own pipeline stages - Calendar: appointments and installs, with reminders - Crew hours: clock in and out on site - Material orders: send the order to your supplier from the job - Storm data: hail and wind history for the address you are standing in front of - Canvassing: work a neighborhood door to door and log every knock BUILT FOR THE TRUCK, NOT THE DESK Everything above works one-handed on a phone, on a roof, in the sun, with gloves on. Roofexa is for contractors with an active Roofexa account. If your company already uses Roofexa on the web, sign in with the same email and everything is where you left it.
