- On the customer’s phone, before the truck rolls
Priced from a book you build yourself.
Roofing quotes from the book, not from memory.
Estimates for roofing contractors, priced from a book you build yourself and approved on the customer’s phone, so the number is the same on every truck and the yes is captured before you leave.
The work
The work that gets quoted.
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.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
Built from your book
Parts, labor, and accessories come from the same price book everyone quotes from, so the number the customer hears never depends on which truck showed up.
Options beat ultimatums
A tiered proposal turns take-it-or-leave-it into a choice. The customer picks a tier instead of deciding whether to trust the only number on the page.
Signed before the truck leaves
E-signature on any device, deposit collected at approval, and the accepted proposal becomes a scheduled job. Same visit.
Roofing · Estimates
The yes, captured.
Quoted from the book, approved on the phone, and turned into the job without retyping.
The old way
What the evening quote costs.
The storm buries the office
Lead volume that outruns intake becomes inspections that never happen.
The claim dies in email
Paperwork scattered across threads is how approvals stall and supplements get missed.
Supplements left on the roof
Commonly missed items (drip edge, ventilation, ice and water shield) are recovered by checklist, not by memory.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Show, don’t argue
Photos of the failing unit, the comparison between options, the before-and-after from a similar job. Embedded in the proposal, not described over the phone.
02
Multi-phase and commercial
Break big work into phases with alternates; each approved phase converts to its own job plan. Approval routing covers the facility-manager case.
03
Margin guardrails
The margin is visible while the proposal is built, so discounting is a decision, not an accident.
Straight answers
What roofing contractors ask.
What does Thorbis cost for roofing contractors?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is estimating a separate module?
No. Estimates & quotes is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the roofing job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for roofing contractors specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For roofing contractors that means storm response, the claim file, and production, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are roofing jobs.
Can I standardize templates?
Yes. Reusable branded templates with recommended options, so every proposal starts from the shop’s standard instead of a blank page.
What about multi-phase jobs?
Break the proposal into phases and alternates; each converts to a separate job plan when approved.
