Through many in-depth conversations with roofing business owners, salespeople, and production managers, we have learned that two of the biggest challenges for roofing companies are (1) being perceived as professional and trustworthy to sell more jobs and (2) increasing visibility and efficiency to grow revenue and maximize profits.
As such, many roofing contractors are looking to upgrade from paper documents and whiteboards, as well as generalized software solutions such as Google Workspace and Microsoft, to adopting software designed specifically for roofing businesses.
With that said, the right app or apps for your business depends on factors such as:
The size of your team
Your business size and scaling goals
The features you actually need and will use
The software’s ease of use
Your budget
If you run a small roofing shop and aren’t looking to scale, simply adding an estimating app for professionalizing your sales process, and continuing to operate with Google Workspace or Microsoft tools for business and customer interactions, is likely sufficient. However, if you want to scale and grow your roofing business, adopting a more holistic CRM solution that integrates with an estimating app might be more suitable.
In this post, we share ten roofing apps for your business, divided into two categories: apps for CRM and business management that integrate with popular estimating apps, and simpler apps that focus on measuring and estimating. We’ll start with our roofing contractor software, ServiceTitan.

CRM and Business Management Apps for Roofers
1. ServiceTitan
Roofing companies are using some of ServiceTitan’s foundational features to solve important challenges in their business, such as gaining better visibility in their financial and operational data, providing impressive customer experiences, and improving their marketing efforts.
In addition, ServiceTitan now integrates with popular roofing apps like Hover and GAF QuickMeasure. These integrations allow roofers to manage the entire job workflow, from the initial call to final estimates and material orders, offering a seamless experience between the business’s CRM and estimating/measurement tools.
The following is an overview of some of the key workflows and features helping roofing businesses improve their operations:
Centralize Your Customer and Job Data (and Access It Anywhere)
ServiceTitan offers a customer relationship management (CRM) system to record, store, and access all of your customer and job data, beginning the moment a potential roofing customer calls in.
Our call booking functionality provides CSRs and office staff with the name and contact information of the incoming caller, and prompts them to fill out a series of form fields that ensure they collect all of the necessary information to kick off a potential roofing job.
From the booking page, they can view the availability of their sales team, assign a team member to the job, and schedule a visit if the business or homeowner agrees to have someone come out.
At that point, a customer page is automatically created in which their contact information and job details can be stored as the job progresses. This data can be shared and accessed from the office via our desktop application, as well as remotely from a job site or elsewhere through the ServiceTitan mobile app (compatible with iOS and Android devices).
Users also have the option to create a roofing project page in which financials can be tracked, appointments can be made, material orders can be placed, and other aspects of project management carried out.
Facilitate Roof Measurement, Estimating, and Material Orders
ServiceTitan’s integration with Hover streamlines the roofing estimate process by seamlessly connecting job booking and management (discussed above), with measurements, estimates, and material orders that sync across both platforms.
ServiceTitan’s integration with Hover streamlines the roofing estimate process by seamlessly connecting job booking and management (discussed above), with measurements, estimates, and material orders that sync across both platforms.
When a customer call is booked in ServiceTitan, the job can be sent to Hover, where sales staff can either start the photo capture process themselves or use photos provided by the homeowner. Once the 3D model and measurements are generated in Hover, estimators can create customizable material lists that are instantly transferred back to ServiceTitan as estimates (where they can be tracked for clear visibility into their status).
This integration ensures that all job data, including photos and measurements, syncs in real time between ServiceTitan and Hover. Sales staff can easily access and present estimates to customers using ServiceTitan’s presentation mode. Meanwhile, the integration automatically updates your pricebook within ServiceTitan with new items and prices, saving time and eliminating manual data entry.
Offer Modern and Impressive Customer Experiences
ServiceTitan offers a variety of features that help roofing businesses communicate professionalism and trustworthiness with their customers.
For example, our dispatching functionality includes text message notifications and Uber-style GPS tracking that keeps customers up to date about when salespeople or field supervisors and crews are scheduled to arrive.
During the sales process, salespeople have the ability to offer financing to prospects that can get approved quickly, improving customer experiences while helping to close more sales.
And upon completion of a job, companies can also offer convenient payment options — including cash, check, or credit card — right from their mobile device (iPhone, iPad, etc.).
Gain More Visibility with Access to Real-Time Business Data
One of the big challenges for roofing contractors is getting timely and accurate financial data to track their cash flow and the overall health and performance of their business.
This is one area where ServiceTitan roofing software can deliver immense value. With ServiceTitan reporting, roofing contractors get a complete real-time view of their most important business KPIs, including:
Sales numbers
Revenue trends
Booking and conversion rates
And much more
They also have the ability to customize dashboards and create in-depth reports, allowing them to drill down into the sources of the numbers being reported in their financial data, as well as roll up multiple tenants into single reports, making ServiceTitan a particularly powerful platform for enterprise roofing businesses.
Understand the True ROI of Marketing Efforts to Optimize Your Campaigns
One of the most important aspects of effectively marketing a roofing business is measuring the ROI of your various channels and campaigns so you can know which campaigns are performing well and which are not.
ServiceTitan makes this data easily accessible to roofing companies, eliminating the struggle to understand ROI. Specifically, ServiceTitan offers campaign-tracking telephone numbers and real-time ROI reporting for all of your marketing campaigns.
For each of your campaigns, you can track the number of calls they brought in, the jobs your reps booked from these calls, and the actual sales results of those jobs. You can also calculate the ROI on your roofing advertising campaigns as ServiceTitan identifies how much revenue you make from each ad, and breaks it down into cost per lead.
By measuring the marketing ROI of each campaign, ServiceTitan helps roofing companies:
Know how much revenue each roofing marketing campaign generates.
Track how well staff convert leads into jobs and sales.
Focus marketing dollars on the campaigns that actually make money.
Stop wasting money on ads — and platforms — that don’t perform.
