What We Do
We get you roof quotes. Fast.
Fill out our form to request bids, and we’ll send bids from all roofers in the project area in an average of 40 minutes (can be rushed as fast as 10 minutes if needed). Bids will be accurate as long as we have the correct data about plywood and layers. Roofers in the platform see what each other are charging and compete to get you the best deal
We help you close more deals
You can either hire the roofer as a sub or have the homeowner sign the roofer’s bid to move the project forward.
If you or your homeowners have any questions about roofing or want to talk to an expert, our sales support team is happy to help!
We take care of project management
Roofers will be run through the project management process to make sure all your requirements are met. Our project managers will help push the roofers through the process, and will serve as your point of contact. Our default milestones include (but are not limited to):
- Roofer site visit (if needed, some solar companies provide info so the roofer doesn’t have to do a site visit
- approval for roof install (we make sure the roofer doesn’t install early and have to wait for payment!)
- install confirmed complete (we provide pictures and proof of permit)
All milestones can be API’d into your system. We are very flexible (if you’ve got different requirements in your process, we’ve probably worked with a solar company that has had the same requirements)

Fee Structure and Payments
We add 7% margin to the roofer’s wholesale cost as our quoting and project management fee that the roofer pays us on completion after solar has been completed and their payment collected. By default bids include a $500 referral fee (which can be customized) that will be paid to the solar rep who requested the bid, and installers and dealerships can set their markups. These deals can be financed by including the roof as an adder on the solar project. When project is completed the installer will pay the roofer (minus their fee), roofer will pay us, and we will pay the rep the referral fee.
White Labeling
If you have the licensure to include the contract under your own entity we have a separate process to roll contracts out under your company and use us to manage the sub contractor network and project management.
