App Concept
LeakGuard Flashing Designer
An app that helps chimney and roofing pros design custom flashing baffles for complex roof-chimney intersections. Users input roof slope, chimney dimensions, and leak locations to generate a 3D model and materials list. Integrates with suppliers for pre-cut flashing kits.
Key Features
- 3D modeling of flashing geometry for sloped roofs
- Auto-generate cut list and materials
- Leak risk prediction based on roof angle and chimney placement
- Integration with sheet metal suppliers for pre-fabricated flashing
Target Users: Roofing and chimney contractors who install custom flashing on residential roofs with complex pitches
Revenue Model: $19/month subscription or $5 per design generated
