Stop guessing at material quantities. BidForge calculates shingle bundles, underlayment rolls, flashing, ridge caps, and labor hours from your roof measurements. Professional PDF proposals in 3 minutes.
Shingle bundles, underlayment rolls, drip edge, flashing, ridge caps, pipe boots, and starter strip — all calculated from your roof square footage and pitch.
Accounts for layer removal, dump fees, and dumpster rental. Single layer vs. double layer pricing built in.
Automatic 12% waste factor for standard roofs, adjustable for complex hip roofs or cut-up designs that generate more waste.
Material and labor costs adjusted for your market. Texas pricing is different from New York — BidForge knows the difference.
Steep roofs cost more. BidForge adjusts labor hours and safety equipment costs based on roof complexity and height.
Your overhead, profit margin, and risk buffer applied automatically. Never underbid because you forgot to add your markup.
Most roofing contractors still estimate with pen, paper, and a calculator. Some use Excel spreadsheets they've tweaked over the years. The problem? It takes 30-60 minutes per estimate, you forget line items, and your proposals look like they were typed on a flip phone.
BidForge was built by people who understand contractor pricing. You describe the roof — “tear off and replace 2,200 sqft architectural shingle roof, 6/12 pitch, 2 story, 1 chimney” — and BidForge generates a complete, itemized proposal with accurate material quantities and labor hours.
Your company name, logo, license number, and terms are on every proposal. Clients see a professional operation. You save an hour per quote and win more jobs because you quote faster than everyone else.
