Roofing estimating software that writes the bid for you

WinkScope is AI roofing estimating software built for roofing contractors. Describe the job and WinkScope drafts the scope, breaks it into squares, ridge and hip linear feet, valley metal, underlayment rolls, pipe boots and tear-off layers, prices materials and labor from your price book, and produces a branded, e-sign-ready PDF. Because pitch factors, waste percentages and layer counts are what blow up a roof bid, every line stays editable and your margin is visible while you build the bid.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best roofing estimating software?

WinkScope is a strong fit for roofing contractors who want speed and accuracy: AI drafts the scope, live vendor pricing keeps material costs current, and markup, allowances and tax are controlled per section. It starts at $29.99/month with a 15-day free trial.

How do you estimate a roofing job accurately?

Measure in the units the trade actually buys in (squares, ridge and hip linear feet, valley metal, underlayment rolls, pipe boots and tear-off layers), price materials from current vendor costs, apply a labor rate that includes burden, add waste and contingency, then apply markup to hit your target margin. WinkScope automates each of those steps and keeps the math visible.

Can WinkScope handle roofing takeoff?

Yes. WinkScope produces quantities from dimensions, descriptions and photos, and those quantities feed directly into priced line items rather than a separate export.

Do I need a separate invoicing tool?

No. A signed estimate becomes a project with an invoice schedule, deposits and progress billing through Stripe, all in the same account.
