Exterio Product Update | June & July 2026


71 improvements and features shipped in 60 days. 41 of them came from you.

We spent June and July on the parts of the job that happen outside the office โ€” on the roof, in the driveway, in front of the homeowner. Faster photo capture. Siding measurements that finally match the speed of roofing. Estimate metrics that tell you whether a job is worth taking before you send it.

Here's everything:

๐Ÿ“ธ Rapid Photo Capture, Rebuilt

The 10-photo limit is gone. So is the lag.

Photo documentation was the most-requested fix we had, and we rebuilt it from the ground up in the mobile app.

Open the camera and shoot. No waiting between shots, no stopping to save, no counting to ten on uploads. Capture an entire roof, an entire elevation, an entire job โ€” then decide which photos need markup and edit those as needed. Uploads run in the background with proper queuing, so a weak signal in a back yard doesn't cost you the batch.

If you spend most of your day documenting jobs, this is the update to open the app for.

What Else Is New

โšก Zapier Is Live!

Exterio now connects to over 60,000 applications. Push new contacts into a marketing email, pull leads in from a lead generator, fire a Slack message when a proposal gets signed โ€” without waiting on us to build the integration.

Email help@getexterio.com and we'll help you set up your first Zap.

๐Ÿ“ Siding Measurements and Estimating 2.0

EagleView wall, window, and door measurements now flow directly into your enhanced siding measurement templates. Full siding takeoffs in the time it used to take to do the roof. We're confident that we have the best siding measurement and estimate experience in the game!

Have a Hover report? Import any Hover PDF for a complete measurement pull as well.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Estimate Metrics & Scratchpad

Build your own profitability and quality metrics and see them live on the estimate. Profit per square. Labor cost per day. Whatever number you actually run your business on.

Metrics filter by work type, so a siding job shows siding math and a roof shows roofing math. The Scratchpad lets you adjust measurements and test scenarios without touching the estimate underneath.

๐Ÿ” Product Search in Estimating

Search across every product in your catalog from inside the estimate โ€” by product type, manufacturer, subcategory, or name. No more scrolling category trees to find one accessory.

Sell It

Estimating, proposals, and measurements.

  • Set your package order โ€” control the order of your product package list, and let Exterio suggest the likely package based on work type
  • Toggle package tiers on or off per proposal โ€” Your internal tagging of  Good/Better/Best can be omitted from a proposal when appropriate
  • Multiple primary offerings โ€” Allow customers to mark more than one package as a primary offering in a proposal instead of being limited to one outside of upgrades
  • Rich text everywhere โ€” improved formatting across proposal pages, packages, and emails
  • Full proposal view history โ€” hover any proposal status to see full log on every time the customer opened it, and on what device
  • Sharper custom PDF pages โ€” improved resolution on custom PDF pages used in a proposal when downloading or printing
  • Preview reports without downloading โ€” EagleView and GAF PDF measurement reports open in a preview right in Exterio for fast access
  • Multi-structure imports โ€” expanded options for importing multi-structure EagleView reports
  • EagleView promo codes โ€” apply a promo code when ordering reports
  • Formulas that build on formulas โ€” existing conditional formula calculations can now be used inside other calculations
  • Live input on documents and agreements โ€” an expanded list of prefillable project fields, plus a live input mode built for filling documents on a tablet in the field

Run It

Mobile, photos, workflows, tasks, calendar, and job operations.

Photos

  • Zoom and crop photos directly in Exterio
  • Markup history is now stored, so edits are stored instead of always duplicating images
  • Projects with large photo libraries display every photo natively 

Mobile app

  • Update your profile photo from the app
  • Mobile notifications now match the desktop experience and settings

Notifications

  • Overdue task notifications and event reminders now send at 8 AM local instead of the middle of the night

Workflows

  • New trigger: Appointment Type Scheduled
  • New trigger: Document Sent / Signed
  • Smartfields can now be inserted into automated task names and descriptions

Tasks

  • Set tasks with exact due dates and times
  • Task list rows link straight to the Project or Contact, matching the Dashboard
  • Tasks created by Campaigns are labeled appropriately, the same way workflow tasks are
  • Task notifications open the Project or Contact instead of the edit screen

Calendar

  • New sync settings โ€” choose whether events you're assigned to sync to Outlook or Google alongside events you created
  • The calendar grid defaults to core business hours, with scheduling outside them now available!
  • Calendar sync now carries full event detail

Projects

  • Fully customizable project creation modal/form โ€” choose which fields appear (system and custom fields) and which are required or optional
  • Project # is available as a naming convention option and as a smart field
  • Project tags now work as filters across the project board and reporting

Material & work orders

  • Delete or update an existing material order
  • Record an actual delivery date on material orders to help track warranty information
  • Add non-inspection photos to a work order

Behind the Scenes

  • QuickBooks โ€” customer email and phone now carry over to the sub customer (project) in QuickBooks
  • Customer Portal โ€” now enabled automatically on contacts and projects, so automated campaigns can share the portal link
  • Contacts โ€” add multiple phone numbers during contact creation
  • Contacts โ€” override Google address validation and save any address, however rural


You Asked. We Fixed.

The unglamorous list. All of these came from customer reports.

  • Notifications no longer fire at 2 AM. Overdue tasks and event reminders now send at 8 AM.
  • Editing a calendar appointment keeps the booked time. Previously the scheduled time reset on edit, which could create conflicts.
  • Every project photo is available to attach to an email, and the attach view now displays them clearly instead of stacking them.
  • Deposit invoices flip to Overdue like every other invoice created.
  • Proposal view tracking is accurate. Proposals no longer show as "Viewed" before the customer has opened them.
  • Email attachments save to communication history โ€” inbound attachments are stored, and attachments open directly from a contact's history.
  • Change order PDFs attach to approval emails.
  • Signed work orders download as a PDF.
  • Editing a draft invoice no longer creates a duplicate.
  • Sales-only users can invite team members to calendar events.
  • Work order requested dates display correctly โ€” smartfields no longer show the date a day early based on time zone preferences.
  • Material order line names stay locked to the estimate, even if the product name changes in your catalog afterward.
  • GAF measurement reports import without a property type mismatch error for commercial properties
  • Duplicated packages keep their work type instead of defaulting to Roofing.
  • Package tiers hold their settings in proposals built from multi-estimate creation.
