Roofing Estimating Software
A homeowner points at a curling, 22-year-old roof and asks what a new one costs. KaamCam is the roofing estimating software that prices the squares, shows shingle versus standing-seam metal, and gets a signature before the ladder is back on the rack.
Roofing estimates get lost in the shuffle. You climb the roof, count the squares, and promise to email a number tonight. Then it is three days later, the homeowner has a quote from the storm-chaser who knocked their door, and your careful measurement is sitting in a notebook on the truck seat.
Features
- Shingle vs metal options - Put architectural shingle, a premium designer shingle, and standing-seam metal on one estimate. Homeowners weighing a 30-year roof against a 50-year metal roof pick faster when both prices sit side by side.
- Photos from the roof - Snap the worn valleys, the granule loss, and the failing pipe boots while you are up there. Those photos ride on the estimate and make the case for replacement stronger than any sales pitch.
- Sign before you climb down - The homeowner picks shingle or metal and signs on your phone in the driveway. You beat the storm-chaser's follow-up call and lock the job before they shop it around.
- Saved roof packages - A full tear-off and re-roof, a repair patch, and a gutter run each have their own saved line-item set with underlayment, drip edge, and disposal built in. Load the package and change the square count for this house.
How it works
- Count squares on the roof - Measure the planes, add for waste on the hips and valleys, and load the tear-off and re-roof package. Note the pitch so steep charges are in from the start.
- Present shingle and metal - Show the homeowner both options with the roof photos attached. Explain the 30-year shingle warranty next to the 50-year metal life so the price gap makes sense.
- Sign and book the crew - They sign the option they want, it becomes a job, and you put the tear-off on the calendar and order the shingles the same day.
FAQ
Can I estimate by the square?
Yes. Enter your square count and the tear-off and shingle lines multiply out automatically. Add waste factor for hips and valleys, then break out ridge cap, starter, ice-and-water, and steep charges. The homeowner sees a real breakdown, which is what separates you from the guy who scribbles one round number on a business card.
Can I show shingle and metal on the same quote?
Yes, and it moves a lot of jobs. Put architectural shingle beside standing-seam metal so the homeowner weighs a 30-year roof against a 50-year one on paper. Some pick metal for the lifespan, many pick shingle once they see the gap, and either way they choose with you instead of shopping a third quote.
How fast can I turn around a quote?
Before you leave. Count the squares up top, load your saved re-roof package, adjust for pitch and stories, and hand the homeowner the phone in the driveway. The storm-chaser who promised to email tonight is a day late while your quote is already signed.
What does the estimating cost?
$12 per seat per month, flat, with estimates, e-signature, photos, and scheduling all in. There is no per-quote fee and no premium tier for signatures. Try it free for 7 days without a card. Land one 30-square re-roof off a same-day quote and the software is paid for years.
Does it help with insurance estimates?
Build the estimate to line up with the adjuster's scope, then attach your hail and wind photos as evidence for supplements the adjuster missed. Roofers routinely find drip edge, extra vents, or steep charges left off the original scope, and a photo-backed estimate is what gets those supplements approved instead of eaten.
