Can't determine correct tapered insulation panel quantities without knowing existing roof deck thickness and low spot geometry under old built-up roofing (BUR) layer.
No software exists to model tapered panel layouts and material takeoffs without needing to first remove the existing roof layers to measure thickness and deck slope.

App Concept
RoofPanel Pro
RoofPanel Pro is a pre-tear-off material estimation app for roofing contractors. It uses 3D scanning or manual input of roof dimensions and known low spots to generate optimal tapered panel layouts and ordering lists, accounting for unknown deck conditions with safety margins. No need to tear off first.
Key Features
- Input roof perimeter and low spot coordinates manually or via laser scan
- Automatically calculates tapered panel quantity, slope, and thickness variants
- Includes a 'safety margin' mode to order extra panels for unknown deck contour
- Generates cut lists and order summary with manufacturer part numbers
Target Users: Small to medium roofing contractors (1-20 crews) doing commercial and high-end residential re-roofs
Revenue Model: $49/mo per user SaaS subscription with a free 7-day trial
