App Concept
RoofDecide Pro
A decision-support app for homeowners evaluating roofing bids. It provides evidence-based guidance on material suitability (e.g., TPO vs. elastomeric) for specific deck types and climates, helping users avoid costly mistakes. Users can compare contractor claims against verified installation guidelines and read removal reports from local roofers.
Key Features
- Material suitability checker: input deck type (wood, concrete), region, and roof slope to get recommended materials
- Contractor claim verifier: cross-reference contractor statements with industry standards and local installation data
- Local removal report database: aggregated data on common failures (e.g., TPO over wood causing rot) from roofers
- Bid comparison tool: side-by-side comparison of quotes with material lifecycle cost estimates
Target Users: Homeowners in the US with residential flat roofs who are seeking multiple bids for re-roofing and want to avoid contractor misinformation
Revenue Model: Freemium with $9.99 per roof project fee for detailed reports; optional $4.99/mo subscription for unlimited property monitoring
