Where Roofr Shines
Roofr offers a unique platform suitable for contractors that connects measurement reports and proposal generation tools along with some CRM features. It's particularly beneficial for smaller teams looking to focus on sales and less production management and close out.
What Roofr Does Well:
- Integrated Measurement Reports
- Professional Proposal Generation
- Modern UI
- Payment Processing
But Keep in mind:
- CRM Features are limited: Many features key to production and job management like Calendars, QuickBooks Integration, and more are in Beta or still being worked on.
- Support Responsiveness: While support is available, some users have reported delays in receiving assistance.
- Mobile Optimization: The platform is primarily web-based, and mobile optimization may not meet all users' expectations.
"Both good and bad, But Sometimes you get what you pay for, so the low cost sometimes doesn’t out way the Frustrating."
— Rich M., Owner, Construction Industry (2–10 employees)
