The work
The days roofing contractors run, on either system.
01
Storm response
Leads from every channel, triaged by urgency and address, with inspections assigned by neighborhood instead of by whoever answered the phone.
02
The claim file
Photos, measurements, estimates, supplements, and approvals versioned on the job, not lost across three inboxes.
03
Production
Crews, materials, and permits scheduled together. Retail jobs skip the claim steps and run estimate to contract to production.
