Our take
Roofing is one of those manual industries that’s been around forever, and can sometimes feel like it still exists in a completely pre-digital age. But Roofr’s on a mission to change that, with its software platform designed to modernize the industry.
One of its main selling points is that it offers roofers the ability to give instant estimates. It works with companies like Nearmap, whose low-altitude planes take high resolution photos for mapping, and provides roofing companies with high-quality imagery of the roof to be able to give an estimate without a site visit - easier for the company and customer.
There are a few other start-ups aiming at reinvented the roofing industry, with competitors like Roofer Pro and Acculynx offering similar aerial measurement technology. But roofing is a $40 billion-a-year industry, and Roofr is one of the leaders of its revolution and in September 2022 received $12 million in Series A investment. This funding will be used to further strengthen its platform.
