Estimate the roof
Walk the roof, take your photos, and build the estimate in stages with the add-ons priced as options. The client approves the lines they want — the total they sign is the total you build to.
Crewkat for Roofing
Roofing jobs, from tear-off to paid in full.
A roof is three jobs wearing one name — tear-off, dry-in, and install — plus a pile of materials and a homeowner who wants proof at every stage. Crewkat keeps the stages, the materials, the photos, and the money on one job record, from the first estimate to the final invoice.

What it does
Built for the way roofing work actually runs.
Roofing days move fast and the evidence disappears under the new roof. Crewkat is built so the record keeps up: the estimate, the stage photos, the material list, and the haul-off loads all live on the job, ready for the homeowner, the insurer, or your own memory three months from now.
- Estimates staged the way roofs are built. Price tear-off, dry-in, and install as their own lines, with optional add-ons — upgraded underlayment, extra vents, a skylight — your client ticks and approves on the estimate itself.
- Material tracking on the job. Keep the materials list with the job — shingles, underlayment, drip edge, vents — so what was ordered, delivered, and left over is written down, not remembered.
- Before/after photos that prove the work. Snap the old roof, the bare deck, the dry-in, and the finished install. Pair before and after shots into a proof pack for the homeowner or the insurance file, straight from the job.
- Haul-off loads, logged. Every dump run off the job — debris loads, quantity, cost, vendor — goes in the loads log and posts into the job's costs, so disposal stops being a number you guess at later.
- Daily logs while the crew works. A few lines and photos a day per roof: what stage finished, what the deck looked like, what is left. The record that settles questions before they become disputes.
- Change orders signed, not verbal. Rotten decking under the tear-off? Send a change order from the roof, get it signed from a link, and keep the new total in writing before the work happens.

How it works
Three steps, from first call to final payment.
Run the stages
Tear-off, dry-in, install: log each day, photograph each layer before it gets covered, track materials and haul-off loads against the job as they happen.
Close out with proof
Send the before/after proof pack and a work summary with the final invoice. Clients pay by card or bank transfer from the invoice link with Pay Now, or the way they already pay — recorded either way.
Proof for homeowners and insurance
Photos that settle it.
A roof hides its own work — the underlayment, the decking repairs, the flashing — under the finished surface. Dated job photos and a client-ready work summary show what was found and what was done, layer by layer, long after it is covered. That is the file a homeowner sends their insurer, and the one that answers a callback without an argument.
The office side of roofing
Every roof on one board.
In Crewkat Office, every roof sits on the production board by stage, estimates going quiet get flagged for follow-up, and the money dashboard shows what is invoiced, collected, and still owed. Toolbox talks and crew credential tracking live in Office too — fall protection talks included, with attendance on record.
Common questions
Roofing, answered.
Can I track a roof by stages?
Yes. Build the job around the stages the work actually follows — tear-off, dry-in, install, closeout — with daily logs, photos, and documents filed to each stage of the same job record.
How do the before and after photos help with insurance?
The job keeps dated photos of every layer: the old roof, the bare deck, the dry-in, and the finish. Pair them into a proof pack or a work summary and send the client one link — a clear record of what was found and what was replaced.
How does my client pay the final invoice?
With Premium, the invoice link carries Pay Now, so clients pay by card or bank transfer (ACH) right from the link and the payment records itself. Checks and cash still work — record them against the invoice and the balance stays current.
