Best Jobber Alternative
for Roofing Contractors

Jobber Plus runs $599/month for 10 users, and the roofing workflow still needs bolt-ons: EagleView reports billed per roof, CompanyCam for photo documentation, ResponsiBid for customer self-quoting, plus quote-only GPS and inventory subscriptions. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month for 10 users with satellite roof measurement, AI before/after renderings, customer self-quoting and 24/7 self-scheduling all native.

Quick Answer

QuoteIQ is the best Jobber alternative for roofing contractors in 2026 because the tools a roofing crew actually runs on — satellite roof measurement, AI before/after shingle renderings, customer self-quoting, 24/7 self-scheduling, live crew GPS and multi-location material inventory — are included in one plan instead of assembled from paid integrations. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month for 10 users. Matching that feature set on Jobber starts at Plus ($599/month, 10 users) and climbs past $957/month once CompanyCam and ResponsiBid are added — before per-report roof measurements, a ResponsiBid setup fee, and quote-only GPS and inventory tools are counted. Jobber still wins on Xero accounting and marketplace breadth.

TL;DR: Roofers leave Jobber over stacked subscriptions, not over quality. QuoteIQ Elite bundles MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, the AI Image Generator for before/after shingle previews, InstaQuote self-quoting, InstaSchedule live-calendar booking, multi-location inventory, route optimization, live crew tracking and QuoteIQ Cam inspection reports into $299/month for 10 users. With roofer employment projected to grow 5% through 2035 per the BLS and every on-roof inspection bound by OSHA’s six-foot fall-protection threshold, measuring from satellite instead of a ladder is both a margin and a safety decision.

The Real Problem

Jobber Is Polished — But It Wasn’t Built for the Way Roofers Quote

Jobber has a clean interface, a strong client hub, and route optimization built into Grow plans and above. For a small generalist crew it works, and it has worked for a long time. The trouble starts when a roofing contractor tries to run it against the workflows roofing actually lives on: pulling roof measurements off satellite imagery without leaving the truck, generating before/after renderings of a new shingle colour while the homeowner is still standing in the driveway, letting a storm lead price their own tear-off at 9pm on a Sunday, and tracking shingle bundles, underlayment, drip edge and ridge vent across two warehouses and four trucks.

Every one of those is a separate purchase on Jobber. Roof measurement means EagleView reports billed per roof. Photo documentation and inspection workflows mean a CompanyCam subscription. Customer self-quoting means ResponsiBid — a monthly fee plus a setup fee. Real-time vehicle GPS means a fleet-tracking vendor whose pricing is quote-only. Inventory across crews means a third-party inventory platform, also quote-only. And AI before/after image generation has no Jobber marketplace integration at all, so you would be subscribing to a separate AI tool on top of everything else.

None of that makes Jobber a bad product. Jobber Plus genuinely bundles more than most competitors at the top tier, and the platform is mature. The argument here is narrower and it is about arithmetic: when a real roofing operation in 2026 stacks the integrations it actually needs, the monthly bill roughly triples, the logins multiply, and the calendar still does not book itself. QuoteIQ Elite covers the same ground at $299/month for 10 users — one login, one bill, no marketplace.

The seat-count detail most comparisons miss

Jobber Plus at $599/month includes 10 users. QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month also includes 10 users. That is a genuine like-for-like comparison at the same crew size — $300/month of difference before a single integration is added, or $3,600 a year. On QuoteIQ, annual billing is simply monthly × 10, so Elite paid annually is $2,990 — two months of the year effectively free. Run your own numbers against the tier you are on with the free business calculators.

There is also a structural difference in how the two platforms think about crews. Jobber prices by user across every tier, with additional users billed on top. QuoteIQ prices by plan: Essentials at $29.99 for one user, Beginner at $74.99 for two, Pro at $149.99 for four, Elite at $299 for ten, and Max at $699 for unlimited users. For a roofing company that staffs up for storm season and contracts again in winter, that difference compounds — you are not re-pricing your CRM every time a crew changes size.

The feature Jobber cannot add at any price: AI before/after image generation. There is no Jobber marketplace integration for it, so a roofer selling shingle-colour upgrades or full tear-offs visually has to subscribe to a separate AI product and move images by hand. QuoteIQ’s AI Image Generator and AI Estimator are built in — the AI Estimator on every plan — and the 55-tool AI Autopilot drives the rest of the CRM from plain language.

Summary

Matching QuoteIQ Elite’s feature set on Jobber Plus takes five or more separate vendors and a verified floor of $957/month — and that floor excludes per-report roof measurements, ResponsiBid’s setup fee, two quote-only subscriptions, and an AI image tool. Even fully assembled, AI before/after rendering and true live-calendar self-scheduling still are not there. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month for 10 users. One login. One bill.

Summary

QuoteIQ Elite wins outright on five capabilities Jobber does not offer at any price: AI before/after image generation, the AI Estimator, route density zones, a dedicated business phone with in-app calling, and Street View / Zillow lookup inside the estimate. The gaps Jobber can fill through its marketplace — roof measurement, photo workflow, self-quoting, live GPS, inventory — add at least $358/month of verified subscriptions on top of Plus, plus per-report charges and two quote-only vendors. Jobber keeps real advantages in marketplace breadth and in crew scheduling at lower tiers, where QuoteIQ reserves crew creation for Max.

Where Jobber Genuinely Wins

Honest accounting. Jobber is a mature, well-built platform with real advantages over QuoteIQ in specific places. These are not softened marketing points — they are reasons a roofing contractor might correctly decide to stay.

  • Accounting flexibility. QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online and nothing else, and that sync sits on Pro and above ($149.99/mo). Jobber offers accounting apps through its marketplace, so if your bookkeeper runs on something other than QuickBooks Online, check Jobber’s marketplace for your platform before you move. For a roofing company mid-year, with a CPA already deep in the books, changing accounting platforms to change CRMs is rarely worth it.

  • Marketplace breadth and a longer track record. Jobber’s app marketplace connects to a wider third-party ecosystem than QuoteIQ’s native-first approach does, and the community around it has produced more tutorials, forums and consultants. That does not change the per-feature arithmetic — marketplace apps cost extra every month — but if you depend on one niche tool that QuoteIQ does not build natively, ecosystem depth is a real consideration rather than a slogan.

  • Crew assignment on lower tiers. This one is a straightforward QuoteIQ limitation. Assigning an individual to a job lives on Pro and above, but building named crews and scheduling those crews as units is a Max-only capability at $699/month. A three-crew tear-off operation that wants crew-level scheduling without Max pricing will find Jobber’s scheduling model a better fit today.

The Roof Measurement Jobber Bills Per Report For

On Jobber, roof measurement comes from EagleView and is charged per report — $24.25 to $89.50 depending on plan tier and roof size. MapMeasure Pro measures every roof plane, gutter line and fascia run you want, on Beginner and above.

Satellite Measurement

MapMeasure Pro

Quote from the office instead of the ladder. Measure roofs, gutters, fascia, driveways and lawns straight off satellite imagery, then push the dimensions into an estimate in seconds. Unlimited measurements at a flat monthly price — no per-report billing, no volume tiers, no surprises when a hailstorm doubles your inspection load.

Show Homeowners the Roof Before You Build It

Before/after AI image generation has no Jobber marketplace integration at any price — it would be a separate AI subscription and a manual file shuffle. In QuoteIQ it runs inside the estimate on IQ Credits.

AI-Powered

Before & After AI Image Generator

Photograph the property, pick the finish, and generate a realistic preview of the completed work on that exact house. Attach it to the estimate so the homeowner is choosing between two pictures of their own home rather than two lines on a quote — the difference between selling a shingle upgrade and describing one.

How a Roofing Estimate Actually Gets Built — Start to Signature

The reason roofers outgrow generalist field-service software is not features in the abstract. It is that a roofing estimate has a shape no other trade shares: an area measurement that has to account for pitch, a layer count nobody can see from the street, a material list that changes with the deck condition, and a homeowner who is making a five-figure decision on a house they have not looked at closely since they bought it. Software either matches that shape or it makes you work around it.

In QuoteIQ the sequence runs in one app. You open MapMeasure Pro, type the address, and trace the roof planes off satellite imagery — plus gutter runs, fascia, downspouts and anything else you are pricing on the same visit. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access sit in the same screen, so you can sanity-check the roof line, the storey count and the age of the structure before you commit a number. The measurements drop into an estimate against your price book, whether you build it as a quick estimate from the truck or a fully itemised standard estimate back at the office.

Then you do the thing that actually closes roofing jobs: you give the homeowner a choice instead of a verdict. Options Estimates present architectural versus designer shingle, standard versus upgraded underlayment, ridge vent added or not — three columns, one document, priced live. Package estimates handle the bundled version of the same idea. The AI Image Generator renders the upgrade on their actual roof, and the before & after photo editor puts the comparison in the same PDF. The customer signs with e-signatures, your scope-of-work and warranty ride along as attached contracts, and the deposit clears through online payments before anyone leaves the driveway.

Why measuring from satellite is a safety decision too

OSHA requires fall protection at six feet in construction — which means every speculative “let me just get up there and check” on an unsold job carries both a compliance obligation and a real risk. OSHA’s fall protection standard is the single most-cited construction rule year after year. Measuring the roof from satellite first means you climb on jobs you have already sold, with the crew, the harnesses and the plan — not on Tuesday afternoon with a tape and a hunch.

On Jobber, the same sequence spans at least two vendors and two logins. The measurement is an EagleView report you order and wait for, billed per roof; the visual upsell has no marketplace answer at all. For a roofer running ten inspections a week in storm season, ordering ten reports at $24.25–$89.50 each is not a rounding error — and the reports only cover the roof, so gutter and fascia footage still gets paced off by hand. If you also quote gutter installation, gutter guards or siding alongside the roof, one unlimited measurement tool replaces a stack of partial ones.

Roofing Workflow · 02

Storm Season Is a Throughput Problem, Not a Software Problem

A hail event does not gradually increase your workload. It arrives as a step change: two hundred addresses in a three-mile radius, a canvassing crew, an adjuster timeline, and a four-week window in which the homeowners who are going to sign will sign. Whatever your CRM does badly, storm season multiplies it.

The bottleneck is almost never the roofing. It is documentation and follow-up. QuoteIQ Cam and custom inspection forms capture hail bruising, granule loss, soft metal dents and collateral damage against a repeatable checklist, so the report that reaches the adjuster looks the same whether your best inspector or your newest one filled it in. The AI Estimator prices from photographs on every plan, which matters most when the volume spikes. Everything lands in the client database and the job gallery rather than on four phones.

Then the pipeline does the work most roofers do with a whiteboard. Pipelines and deals hold every storm lead by stage — inspected, filed, approved, scheduled, supplemented — so nobody falls out between the adjuster visit and the build. Reminders and tasks chase the ones that stall. Text blasts and email campaigns work the affected neighbourhood without anyone dialling. The Virtual Call Team answers, qualifies and transcribes inbound calls and runs outbound campaigns, metered at 125 IQ Credits per minute — it does not book appointments, so the calendar stays under your control, but it stops the phone from going to voicemail during the three weeks when it rings hardest.

Roofing demand is structurally growing

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roofer employment to grow 5% between 2025 and 2035, faster than the average across all occupations, with median pay at $55,440 as of May 2025. Read that against the Census Bureau’s monthly construction spending series and the picture is straightforward: more roofs, more competition for crews, and thinner tolerance for a back office that cannot keep up. Full detail at the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook.

Routing matters more in storm season than at any other time, because the jobs cluster. Route optimization sequences the day on Elite and above; route density shows you where the work has concentrated so you can staff a zone instead of criss-crossing a county. Live location tracking tells you which truck is nearest the emergency tarp call without a hardware install or a per-vehicle fee. On Jobber, that last piece is a fleet-GPS subscription from a vendor who will not quote you a price without a sales call.

Roofing Workflow · 03

Materials, Job Costing and the Margin You Only Find Out About Later

Roofing margin leaks in places that never show up on the estimate: the extra three squares because the deck was worse than it looked, the second dumpster, the crew that sat for ninety minutes waiting on ridge vent from the other warehouse. A products-and-services catalogue — which is what most field-service CRMs call inventory — does not catch any of that. It prices a line item. It does not know what is on the truck.

QuoteIQ’s inventory management on Elite and above tracks products, locations, suppliers, orders and transactions — meaning shingle bundles, underlayment rolls, drip edge, ice-and-water shield, ridge vent and fasteners have a count and a place, whether that place is a warehouse shelf or truck three. Job costing on Pro and above closes the loop by putting actual material and labour against the quoted number, and expense tracking catches the dump fees, permit costs and fuel that otherwise get remembered wrongly at year end.

A number worth putting in your job costing

The IRS standard mileage rate for business use rose mid-year in 2026 to 76 cents per mile from 1 July, up from 72.5 cents for the first half of the year. A roofing operation running three trucks across a spread-out service area is moving real money through that line — and it only becomes a deduction if somebody recorded the miles. Current rates are published on the IRS standard mileage rates page.

Two adjacent points are worth being blunt about. First, QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only, and only on Pro and above — there is no desktop edition and no second accounting platform. Second, if your bookkeeping lives somewhere else, none of the costing detail above reaches your accountant automatically. That is a real constraint, and it belongs in the decision. The National Roofing Contractors Association publishes guidance on material accounting and contract documentation that is worth reading alongside whatever software you land on.

If you are benchmarking your own numbers before you switch anything, the home service business calculators cover job-cost and pricing maths, the demolition cost calculator is a reasonable proxy for tear-off and disposal, the gutter cleaning cost calculator helps price the maintenance work that keeps a roofing crew busy between builds, and the insulation cost calculator covers the attic work that often rides along with a re-roof. For the paperwork side, the construction invoice template and contractor invoice template are free downloads.

Roofing Workflow · 04

Crews, Access and Getting Paid on a Five-Figure Ticket

A roofing company is a people problem wearing a materials problem. Subcontracted crews, a canvassing team, an office manager and an owner who is still selling all need different levels of access to the same records. Roles and permissions decide who sees pricing and who only sees the work order. EmployeeHub on Elite and above holds the team side, Time Tracker Pro records hours against jobs, and team communication keeps job chatter attached to the job instead of scattered across group texts.

Here is the honest limitation, stated plainly: assigning a person to a job is scheduling and lives on Pro and above, but building named crews and scheduling them as a unit is a Max-tier capability at $699/month with unlimited users. If you run three tear-off crews and crew-level scheduling is the single thing you need most, price Max rather than Elite — or accept that this is a place Jobber currently fits better. Google Calendar sync and InstaSchedule cover the customer-facing half of the calendar on Elite.

Payment is where roofing diverges hardest from other trades. A $22,000 tear-off is not a card swipe at the door. Invoicing with staged deposits, invoice subscriptions for maintenance agreements, and consumer financing for homeowners who are choosing between a repair and a replacement all sit inside the same record as the estimate that started it. The client portal gives the homeowner one place to see the quote, the schedule and the balance, and ClientHub gives you a real business number so the follow-up call does not come from the owner’s personal mobile at 7pm.

Finally, the part most roofers skip until a slow month: measurement of the business itself. Business analytics and the sales tracker show close rate by estimator, average ticket by job type, and which lead source actually paid for itself. The Small Business Administration’s management guidance is a sober framework for reading those numbers if you have never formally evaluated software spend against revenue before.

Adjacent trades on the same account

Most roofing companies sell more than roofs. QuoteIQ runs the same toolset across metal roofing, roof washing, insulation, basement waterproofing and general contracting — one plan, one price book, no second subscription per service line. More questions are answered on the roofing software FAQ.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Roofers Ask Before Leaving Jobber

What is the best Jobber alternative for roofing contractors in 2026?⌄
QuoteIQ is the strongest Jobber alternative for roofing contractors in 2026, because the tools roofing depends on are included rather than purchased separately. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month for 10 users; Jobber Plus is $599/month at the same 10 seats. Elite includes MapMeasure Pro satellite measurement, InstaQuote customer self-quoting, InstaSchedule live-calendar booking, multi-location material inventory and the AI Image Generator. Five of those capabilities have no Jobber equivalent at any price. What Jobber still does better is ecosystem depth, plus scheduling named crews as units — QuoteIQ gates crew creation to Max at $699/month with unlimited users. With roofer employment projected to grow 5% through 2035 according to the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook, the operating question is which platform absorbs volume without adding subscriptions.
How much does Jobber cost for a roofing company in 2026?⌄
Jobber’s published monthly rates as of 26 September 2026 are $49/month for Core at one user, $199/month for Connect at five users, $199/month for Grow at one user, and Plus from $499/month at five users, $599 at ten and $699 at fifteen. Additional users are $29/month each, and the AI Receptionist, Marketing Suite and Pipeline add-ons are $29, $99 and $49/month. For a roofing company the plan is only the beginning: photo documentation adds CompanyCam Crew at $129/month billed annually, customer self-quoting adds ResponsiBid Pro at $229/month plus a setup fee, roof measurement is billed per EagleView report at $24.25–$89.50, and fleet GPS and multi-warehouse inventory are quote-only. That is a verified floor of $957/month before the variable items. QuoteIQ Elite covers the same ground at $299, with QuoteIQ Cam, InstaQuote, MapMeasure Pro and live crew tracking native. The SBA’s business management guidance is a reasonable framework for weighing software spend against revenue.
Does Jobber have satellite roof measurement?⌄
No — not natively. Jobber’s own features page lists no roof measurement or satellite imagery tool, so the capability comes from an EagleView marketplace integration billed per report. EagleView’s published rates run $24.25 to $87 for residential construction reports depending on plan tier and roof size, and up to $89.50 for commercial, with gutter reports at $13.75. Those reports are also roof-focused, so gutter runs, fascia, soffit and driveway measurements still get paced off by hand. MapMeasure Pro measures any surface, unlimited, from Beginner at $74.99/month upward, and works alongside Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access inside the same estimate. Measuring remotely also keeps crews off unsold roofs, which matters given OSHA’s six-foot fall protection threshold for construction work. More on the trade setup at roofing software.
Does Jobber have customer self-quoting for roofing leads?⌄
Not in the sense roofers mean. Jobber’s client hub lets a customer approve a quote you sent and add optional services to it, but not build a quote from scratch — its features page describes approval and change requests, not self-service pricing. The marketplace answer is ResponsiBid, whose Pro tier is $229/month plus a one-time setup fee that ResponsiBid confirms exists but does not publish. That is a separate account, separate login and separate bill on top of Jobber Plus. InstaQuote is native to QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month, so a storm lead can price their own tear-off at 9pm on a Sunday and land in your pipeline with a number attached. Pair it with InstaSchedule and the same visitor books themselves in, or capture the ones who still prefer to ask with contact request forms. Trade-specific setup is covered on the roofing software page. Contractors weighing lead-response economics can read the SBA’s marketing and sales guidance.
Can Jobber generate before and after AI photos of a new roof?⌄
No. Jobber’s features page describes AI Tools and an AI Receptionist add-on at $29/month, but no AI image generation, and there is no marketplace integration that fills the gap. A roofer who wants to show a homeowner what a designer shingle will look like on their own roof has to subscribe to a separate AI product and move files across by hand. QuoteIQ’s AI Image Generator runs inside the estimate on IQ Credits, with the before & after photo editor assembling the comparison and Options Estimates presenting good, better and best side by side. The AI Estimator prices from damage photos on every plan, and AI Autopilot drives the rest of the CRM with 55 tools across 13 categories. For a roofer selling designer shingles or a full colour change, showing the homeowner their own house finished is the difference between an upsell conversation and a specification sheet, and it happens without leaving the quote. Documentation standards worth aligning to are published by the National Roofing Contractors Association.
How do roofing contractors track materials across trucks and warehouses?⌄
Properly tracking roofing materials needs stock locations, not a price list. Jobber’s native inventory is a products-and-services catalogue used for quoting; full stock control comes from Ply, which prices by stock location rather than per seat and publishes no rate card, so the cost is quote-only. QuoteIQ’s inventory management is included on Elite at $299/month and covers products, locations, suppliers, orders and transactions — shingle bundles, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, drip edge and ridge vent with a count and a place. Pair it with job costing on Pro and above to see quoted against actual, and expense tracking for dump fees and permits, with material quantities flowing from the MapMeasure Pro measurement that started the estimate. That combination is what turns “we think we made money on that roof” into a number you can act on before the next one is quoted. Vehicle miles are worth capturing too: the IRS business mileage rate rose to 76 cents per mile from 1 July 2026, up from 72.5 cents in the first half of the year.
How do I switch from Jobber to QuoteIQ without losing customer data?⌄
Export your customer list from Jobber as a CSV, then upload it to AI Smart Import, which reads your column headers and maps name, address, phone and email automatically — no manual field matching. Most roofing contractors complete the move in an afternoon: import, build the price book, then measure a roof in MapMeasure Pro and send the first estimate. Done-For-You setup is available for $299.99 one-time if you would rather hand it over. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, one trial per person, business and payment method, a credit or debit card is required to start. If accounting matters to your timing, note that the QuickBooks Online sync sits on Pro and above, and imported records land in the client database ready to quote against. The SBA has useful checklists for records continuity during a systems change.
When should a roofing contractor stay on Jobber instead of switching?⌄
Three situations make staying the right call. First, accounting: QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online only, on Pro and above, so if your bookkeeper runs on another platform, check Jobber’s marketplace before moving. Second, crew-level scheduling: building named crews and scheduling them as units is a Max-tier capability at $699/month, while person-to-job scheduling sits on Pro and above — a three-crew operation that needs crew-unit scheduling without Max pricing may prefer Jobber today. Third, a niche marketplace app you depend on and QuoteIQ does not build natively. For everyone else the arithmetic is the argument: Elite at $299 against a verified $957/month Jobber stack, with route optimization included. Compare more options on the comparison hub, read the trade-specific setup on the roofing software page, and benchmark labour costs against BLS roofing wage data, which put median roofer pay at $55,440 in May 2025.
Honest Assessment

A Three-Question Test Before You Move

Rather than a sales argument, here is the decision as a checklist. If you answer yes to any of these, staying on Jobber is a defensible call and nobody should talk you out of it.

🧾

Is your bookkeeping on something other than QuickBooks Online? QuoteIQ syncs with QuickBooks Online and nothing else, on Pro and above. Jobber offers accounting apps through its marketplace. Changing accounting platforms in order to change CRMs is rarely a trade worth making mid-year.

👷

Do you schedule by crew rather than by person? Named crews scheduled as units are a Max-tier capability at $699/month with unlimited users. Person-to-job scheduling starts on Pro. If crew-unit scheduling is your core daily motion and Max is out of budget, Jobber fits better right now.

🔌

Does your business run on a niche marketplace app? Jobber’s ecosystem is broader than QuoteIQ’s native-first approach. If one specific third-party tool is load-bearing for you and QuoteIQ does not build an equivalent, that dependency outranks the monthly maths.

The honest bottom line: three noes means the arithmetic decides, and the arithmetic is not close — $299/month for ten seats against a verified $957/month floor for the same capability set, before per-report roof measurements and two quote-only subscriptions. Marketplace size is a genuine advantage for Jobber. It is not, on its own, a roofing-business advantage.

Key Takeaways

The Five Things That Actually Decide This

01

Same seats, half the price. Jobber Plus is $599/month at 10 users; QuoteIQ Elite is $299/month at 10 users — $3,600 a year before a single integration is added.

02

The roofing stack is where the money goes. CompanyCam Crew at $129/month and ResponsiBid Pro at $229/month take the verified Jobber floor to $957 — before EagleView’s $24.25–$89.50 per report and two quote-only vendors.

03

Five capabilities have no Jobber equivalent at any price: AI before/after imagery, the AI Estimator, route density zones, a business phone with in-app calling via ClientHub, and Street View / Zillow lookup inside the estimate.

04

Unlimited measurement beats per-report billing at volume. MapMeasure Pro is included from Beginner at $74.99/month and covers gutters, fascia and driveways as well as roof planes.

05

Two honest reasons to stay: accounting outside QuickBooks Online, and crew-unit scheduling, which QuoteIQ reserves for Max at $699/month with unlimited users.

Migration Guide

How to Switch from Jobber to QuoteIQ

Most roofing contractors complete the move in an afternoon. Here is the sequence from account creation to first roof estimate sent.

1
Start your free trial

Create an account and pick the plan that matches your crew size. The trial runs 14 days with full access to the features of the plan you choose, so if you are evaluating Elite you get InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, inventory and routing rather than a cut-down preview.

2
Export your Jobber customer data

In Jobber, open Settings and download your customer list as a CSV. Export your historic quotes at the same time if you want the pricing history — roofing records are worth keeping, because last decade’s repair customer is this decade’s replacement.

3
Import with AI Smart Import

Upload the CSV to AI Smart Import. It reads your column headers and maps every customer field automatically, with no manual matching. Done-For-You setup is available at $299.99 one-time if you would rather have someone else handle the migration.

4
Build your roofing price book

Add asphalt shingle replacement, metal roof installation, tear-off and disposal, flat roof repair, leak repair, gutter installation, soffit and fascia, ridge ventilation, ice-dam prevention, storm restoration and inspection reports, each with your per-square or flat rate. The price book feeds MapMeasure Pro estimates and InstaQuote at the same time.

5
Measure a roof and send your first estimate

Open MapMeasure Pro, enter the property address, trace the roof planes and any extras — gutters, fascia, downspouts — and the dimensions flow into the estimate against your price book. Any on-roof inspection that follows still falls under OSHA fall protection requirements.

About the Authors

Built by Contractors. Analysed by Contractors.

QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, who both ran home service businesses before building software to solve the problems they had been living with. The product approach comes from contractor experience rather than enterprise software theory.

Co-Founder, QuoteIQ Mike Vidan

Mike grew and sold a service business before co-founding QuoteIQ, and he knows first-hand the friction of measuring properties remotely, keeping crews routed sensibly and chasing reviews on platforms that charge extra for it. Roofing sits close to the centre of his content work, from tear-off margins and storm-chase pipelines to shingle pricing strategy.

Justin is a serial entrepreneur who has built, grown and exited multiple service businesses. He co-founded QuoteIQ out of frustration with platforms that made contractors stitch five separate tools together to run one company — a pattern that shows up most expensively in large-ticket residential trades like roofing and exteriors.
