Designed for Roofing Contractors by Fellow Roofers
The EDGE was built by experienced roofing professionals, and it shows. Not only is it remarkably intuitive, but it includes extensive databases of roofing-specific systems from manufacturers such as Firestone, Johns Manville, Tamko, Versico, Soprema, GAF, Carlisle, Siplast, Duro-Last and many more.
The EDGE is also loaded with commercial roofing-specific conditions, allowing you to select a roofing system, choose the parts list, and automatically calculate accurate measurements and all material costs while you perform a takeoff. Pairing these trade-specific databases with digital takeoff and estimating means roofers can expect faster turnaround times while building precise bids.
The EDGE’s Roof Measurement Tools
The EDGE offers several tools to measure roofs, including a Standing Seam Roofing Module, Tapered Insulation Roofing Module and the Poured Deck Module. Each of these tools is designed to improve efficiency by providing automated, precise material calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Roofing Software?
Roofing software is a means of digitally measuring and calculating crucial aspects of roofing projects to build accurate roof estimates. Some roofing software — like The EDGE — offer several reporting tools to increase visibility while building better bids.
What is the Best Roofing Estimating Software?
To determine the best software for your operations you must weigh the roofing features that you deem most important and research options. There are several roofing software available. However, if you need both roof estimating and takeoff in one software The EDGE could be a good option.
How Do You Estimate a Roofing Project?
Creating a roofing estimate involves measuring the area of the roof to determine the material quantities required. From there, the roofing contractor takes this information and categorizes it into direct costs and indirect costs and adds them together to get the total estimate of completing the roofing project.
With The EDGE, commercial roofers can access roofing conditions to create estimates specific to their jobs.
What Software is Used to Calculate Roof Square Footage?
Most roofing software can calculate a roof’s square footage. It’s important to do research, ask questions and schedule demos to determine which features best suit your roofing business. If you’re looking for an all-in-one estimating software, The EDGE takeoff and estimating software offers a range of roofing measurement tools so roofing contractors can stay true to their blueprints.
