Free roofing tools

Everything runs client-side in your browser: no account, no email, no callback from a sales team. The numbering is the working order. Measure first (01), turn it into materials (02), price it (03). After that come the diagnostics (pitch, ventilation, financing, the claim question) and the system tools: gutters, snow load, tear-off, and metal.

A note on accuracy

Every tool states its assumptions right next to the result, and each result is an informational estimate, not a quote. When money is about to change hands, verify with a licensed local contractor. Read the disclaimer.
