The short version
Roofing jobs are high-ticket and competitive, and the first clean estimate usually wins. ZipplyQuote builds a professional roofing quote on your phone in about 30 seconds, works offline, and takes a deposit on the spot. One payment of $49, no monthly bill.
Quote a re-roof while you're still on-site
Whether it's a repair or a full tear-off and replacement, drop in the line items and show a clean total before the homeowner talks to the next contractor. A re-roof might look like this:
| Asphalt shingle re-roof (20 sq) | Price |
|---|---|
| Tear-off & disposal | $2,200.00 |
| Architectural shingles (20 sq) | $3,600.00 |
| Underlayment, flashing, vents | $1,150.00 |
| Labor | $4,300.00 |
| Deposit (25%) | $2,812.50 |
Save your standard jobs — repairs, re-roofs by material, flashing, gutter work — and reuse them so quoting is fast even in storm season.
Works on rural and no-signal jobs
Plenty of roofs are on rural properties with weak reception. ZipplyQuote runs on your phone with no connection needed, so a dead zone never costs you a quote.
A deposit protects a high-ticket job
On a five-figure re-roof, a deposit is what turns interest into a committed contract. Connect your own PayPal, Stripe, or Cash App and the customer pays a pre-filled deposit straight to you.
The real cost: one payment vs a monthly bill
Jobber is a subscription, and so are the other field-service apps. The sticker price isn't the real number — the real number is what you pay over the years you run your business. At $119/month (Connect), that's roughly $7,140 over five years. ZipplyQuote is $49 once. Total cost at year five: still $49.
Illustrative five-year total at a published entry rate (June 2026). Your actual cost depends on plan, users, and add-ons. ZipplyQuote is a focused quoting tool, not a full CRM — that's the trade-off, and for a solo operator it's usually the right one.
Where ZipplyQuote fits — and where it doesn't
It fits roofers who want fast, professional estimates and deposits without a monthly bill. Use a full platform if you need crew scheduling, supplier integrations, and progress invoicing across many jobs. ZipplyQuote is the fast front door: quote, deposit, done.
Stop losing jobs to slow quotes
Try the app free in your browser. Unlock Pro once for $49 and never see a monthly bill for it again.
Frequently asked questions
Does the roofing estimate app work offline?
Yes. ZipplyQuote is offline-first and runs on your phone, so you can build and present a roofing estimate on a rural job with no signal, then send it when you're back in range.
Can I quote repairs and full re-roofs?
Yes. Add exactly the line items a job needs — tear-off, materials by type, labor, flashing — and the app totals it cleanly. Save standard jobs to quote faster in busy season.
How do I take a roofing deposit on-site?
Connect your own PayPal, Stripe, or Cash App. The customer taps the pre-filled deposit and pays straight to you. ZipplyQuote never touches the funds.
Is it a subscription?
No. ZipplyQuote is $49 once with no recurring fee, versus the monthly subscriptions charged by full field-service CRMs.
