Roofr is an all-in-one sales software platform designed specifically for roofing contractors and businesses, primarily serving small to mid-sized residential roofing teams across North America[1][2]. It integrates aerial roof measurement reports, instant estimates, and digital proposals with e-signature capabilities into a single cloud-based workspace, enabling roofers to generate accurate measurements and professional proposals within hours, often without needing on-site visits[1][2][6]. This streamlines the sales process, reduces administrative overhead, and accelerates deal closing, helping contractors win more jobs and improve cash flow[3][7].
Roofr’s mission is to make professional roofing services more accessible and affordable for families by empowering contractors with scalable technology[1][8]. By consolidating CRM, lead capture, material ordering, invoicing, and payment processing into one platform, Roofr supports roofing businesses in growing and optimizing their operations efficiently[3][6][7]. Its focus on speed, ease of use, and affordability differentiates it in a competitive market of roofing software solutions[1][2].
Roofr was founded by Richy Nelson, a former roofer who identified gaps in existing tools for roofing businesses and sought to build software tailored to their specific needs[5][8]. The company emerged from a family roofing business background and was admitted to Y Combinator in 2017, which helped it gain early traction and secure millions in venture capital funding from investors like Crosslink Capital and Bullpen Capital[8]. This support enabled Roofr to evolve from a niche startup into a multinational platform serving thousands of contractors across North America[8].
The idea originated from Nelson’s firsthand experience in roofing, which informed Roofr’s user-friendly design and focus on solving real-world pain points such as slow measurements, manual quoting, and fragmented sales processes[5][8]. Early pivotal moments included the rapid delivery of aerial measurement reports and the integration of digital proposals with e-signatures, features that resonated strongly with roofing contractors seeking efficiency and professionalism[1][2].
Roofr rides the trend of digital transformation and automation in the construction and home services industries, particularly the shift toward cloud-based SaaS solutions that streamline workflows and improve customer experience[1][2]. The timing is favorable due to increasing demand for remote work capabilities, faster sales cycles, and data-driven decision-making in traditionally manual industries like roofing[1][3].
Market forces such as rising labor costs, the need for accuracy in insurance claims, and homeowner expectations for transparency and speed further drive adoption of platforms like Roofr[1][2]. By integrating geospatial technology (aerial and satellite imagery) with sales automation, Roofr influences the broader ecosystem by setting new standards for efficiency and professionalism in roofing sales and operations[1][3].
Roofr is well-positioned to continue expanding its footprint in North America and potentially beyond, leveraging its comprehensive platform to capture more of the roofing market’s digital transformation[8]. Future trends shaping its journey include increased adoption of AI for predictive analytics, enhanced integration with supply chain and logistics providers, and deeper mobile capabilities for field teams.
As roofing contractors increasingly demand end-to-end digital solutions, Roofr’s influence is likely to grow, potentially evolving into a dominant platform that not only supports sales but also operational and financial management for roofing businesses. This aligns with its mission to empower contractors and make roofing services more accessible, efficient, and professional, closing the loop from lead generation to payment collection in a single, streamlined workflow[7][8].
