Builder Built. Pro Preferred.®
Estimating Edge offers takeoff and estimating software that’s built for the roofing industry. Estimating Edge’s flagship product, The EDGE® Estimator, is loaded with roofing conditions and offers a roofing-specific database for a more complete roofing estimating experience. The EDGE’s capabilities are extended straight to the rooftop with Estimating Edge’s project management app, EDGE On Site®.
The EDGE is robust and powerful, yet easy to learn and implement. Most roofing contractors or professional estimators will be up and running in a week or less.
The EDGE features:
- Built-in takeoff so roofing estimators can do everything from one screen
- The ability to measure tapered insulation and standing seam metal roofing
- Complex calculations for materials and labor costs in real-time
- Calculations for fastener lengths
- ASCE 7-16 toggle for automatic industry compliance
EDGE On-Site extends the estimate to the field, allowing teams to track production and manage change orders as work is completed.
Estimating Edge’s products are supported by skilled tradesmen with years of industry experience. Trainings, webinars and educational classes are also offered to enhance a contractor’s estimating capabilities.
Simplify Your ASCE 7-16 Compliance
Estimating Edge has introduced a new feature — Roof Perimeter 2 — in its software to further assist commercial roofing estimators. This feature simplifies compliance with ASCE 7-16, a key component of the International Building Code concerning structural loads.
The EDGE allows its users to switch between ASCE 7-16 standards and other standards using a simple toggle, streamlining the estimation process by reducing the need for manual recalculations. To date, The EDGE is one of the only programs with built-in ASCE 7-16 compliance.

Expert Advice on Choosing Software - New White Paper!
In a new white paper from RoofersCoffeeShop®, Jackie Hart and John Lombardo from Estimating EDGE, two longtime technology salespeople, give their expert advice on the five key considerations to make when selecting a new software. They also talk about the importance of helping roofing contractors understand what they need from estimating software.
Discovering what you need from software — including how it matches your company culture and vision — is a critical part of selecting software. Jackie and John discuss the importance of relationship sales that help roofing companies understand pain points and needs when it comes to their software.
“Our job is to take what they're working with and try to be in their world and understand what they're facing, the problems or the good things,” said John. “You've got to have your ears open and listen and try to understand what their position is.”
