FSM software for roofing contractors

From the first inspection photo to the final supplement, FSM Flow keeps every roof, gutter, siding and window job on one board with the adjuster paperwork attached. Crews see the scope, the office sees the margin, and the homeowner sees proof of work.

At a glance

Roofing software is field service management software configured for roofing and exterior contractors: inspections with photo reports, storm and insurance restoration jobs that run through adjuster meetings and supplements, retail reroofs sold with options, repairs and leak calls, and gutter, siding, window and skylight work that follows a measure-order-install pattern. It schedules crews around material deliveries, prices work by squares and line items, and keeps the documentation that insurers and homeowners expect.

FSM Flow covers that whole pipeline. Sales reps run inspection and measure visits from an offline-first mobile app, attach aerial measurement reports and photos to the site, and send option quotes before leaving the driveway. Production schedules crews and multi-day jobs on a drag-and-drop board, with materials tracked from order to roof. The office generates invoices from completed work, bills deposits and balances on insurance jobs, and keeps claim numbers, deductibles and supplement status on the customer record.

The result is a contractor that can absorb a hail-storm surge without losing leads, prove workmanship to an increasingly wary homeowner, and know the real margin on every reroof, repair and gutter run instead of finding out at year end.

Job types

Each job type carries its own duration, crew size, checklist and pricing method, so production and the AI scheduler know what a job involves before it reaches the board.

  • Roof inspection & photo report

    Slope-by-slope photos, hail and wind marks, and a PDF report sent to the homeowner the same day.

  • Storm / insurance restoration reroof

    Claim number, adjuster meeting, scope, deductible and supplements tracked on the job from first call to final.

  • Retail reroof (asphalt, metal, tile)

    Good-better-best quotes by squares and shingle line, deposit on acceptance, crew and delivery scheduled.

  • Roof repair & leak call

    Same-week dispatch with the roof’s history, past photos and the original install crew on record.

  • Emergency tarp & dry-in

    Priority flag after a storm, time-and-materials pricing and photos that support the later claim.

  • Gutter install, cleaning & guards

    Linear-foot pricing, downspout counts and guard options quoted on site; cleans set as recurring visits.

  • Siding repair & replacement

    Measure visit, material order with lead time, install crew and punch-list walk-through as linked jobs.

  • Window & door replacement

    Measure appointment, order confirmation and install day, with RRP records for pre-1978 homes.

  • Skylight install & replacement

    Flashing kits and curb sizes recorded on the equipment; leak history visible to the next crew.

  • Commercial flat roof (TPO, EPDM)

    Repairs and recurring maintenance plans per building across multi-site property owners.

  • Supplement & adjuster meeting

    Scheduled as its own visit, with the supplement items, photos and carrier correspondence attached.

  • Workmanship warranty & callback

    Leak callbacks within the warranty period tracked separately and linked to the original install.

Where time gets lost

Reroofing is more than 80% of the industry’s volume and most of it arrives after weather. These are the problems that follow a storm, and what FSM Flow does about each.

  • A hail storm brings 200 leads in a week and half of them go cold.

    Every inquiry becomes a work order with a priority and a sales rep in one step. Inspection visits are scheduled by zone on the drag-and-drop board, and a workflow nudges the rep when a quote has had no response for three days.
    See how it works
  • Claim paperwork lives in texts, email threads and a truck’s glovebox.

    Claim number, carrier, adjuster contact, deductible, approved scope and every supplement are fields and attachments on the customer’s job. Document intelligence reads the adjuster’s estimate PDF so line items don’t have to be retyped.
    See how it works
  • Crews show up before the shingles do.

    Material orders are attached to the install job with expected delivery dates, and the job holds on the board until the delivery is confirmed. Multi-day installs block the crew across the week with weather days built in.
    See how it works
  • Every sales rep quotes differently and margin is a surprise.

    Quotes are built from one price book with options, waste factors and terms templates, so the office sees consistent line items. Parts and labour recorded against the job show actual margin per reroof, repair and gutter run.
    See how it works
  • Homeowners have been warned about storm chasers.

    Reported contractor fraud rose 38% between 2023 and 2025 (NICB). FSM Flow gives homeowners dated photo reports, named technicians, licence numbers on every quote and a complete record of what was done, which is how legitimate roofers separate themselves.
    See how it works
  • Fall-protection records are nowhere when OSHA asks.

    Job-site safety checklists, anchor and harness checks, and toolbox-talk sign-offs are completed on the mobile app and stored on the job with timestamps, so the paperwork exists before the inspector does.

A day with FSM Flow

How a 30-person residential roofing contractor handles a surge of inspections, three reroofs and an adjuster meeting on the same day.

  1. 6:30 am

    Three crews are confirmed with deliveries

    The install jobs show shingle deliveries confirmed for yesterday afternoon. Crew leads open the mobile app, see the scope, colour, waste factor and site photos, and mark en route.

  2. 7:45 am

    Storm leads become inspection visits

    Overnight inquiries sit in the unassigned pool. The dispatcher drags them onto reps by zone; AI suggests the rep already working that street.

  3. 9:30 am

    Inspection to report on the driveway

    A rep photographs hail bruising slope by slope, attaches the aerial measurement report and sends a PDF inspection report to the homeowner before leaving.

  4. 11:00 am

    Adjuster meeting with the file open

    The adjuster visit is its own job. The rep walks the roof with the photos, logs the agreed scope and uploads the adjuster’s estimate; document intelligence extracts the line items.

  5. 1:30 pm

    Safety and progress logged from the roof

    Crews complete the fall-protection checklist, photograph decking repairs and record extra sheets of OSB as a change on the job, so the supplement starts with evidence.

  6. 4:15 pm

    Invoices and supplements go out

    A finished reroof closes and the balance invoice is generated. The office sends the supplement package for the OSB and flashing with photos attached.

  7. 5:30 pm

    Tomorrow’s board is built

    The AI assistant answers “which quotes over $15,000 have had no response in three days?” and the sales manager assigns follow-up calls.

Compliance & records

FSM Flow stores the evidence against the job, the property and the crew, so OSHA questions, warranty claims and insurer requests are a report away.

OSHA fall protection (29 CFR 1926.501)

Fall protection is required at 6 ft; the residential provision 1926.501(b)(13) alone drew 5,276 citations in FY2025. Site safety checklists and harness checks are recorded per job and per crew member.

EPA Lead RRP for window and siding work

Paid work disturbing paint in pre-1978 housing needs a certified firm and renovator, the Renovate Right pamphlet acknowledgment and records kept for three years. Window replacement is never exempt.

Insurance claim documentation

Claim number, carrier, approved scope, RCV and ACV amounts, deductible and each supplement stored on the job with dated photos.

Manufacturer warranty registration

Shingle line, underlayment and accessory details recorded per install so system warranties and certified-contractor programme claims are filed correctly.

Permits and inspections

Permit numbers, decking and final inspection outcomes attached to reroof jobs, with reminders when an inspection is still open.

Licensing and proof of legitimacy

Contractor licence numbers, insurance certificates and named technicians on every quote and report, which matters as reported contractor fraud rose 38% between 2023 and 2025 (NICB).

Numbers worth watching

Every one of these is a dashboard widget in FSM Flow, or a question you can ask the AI assistant.

  • Inspection-to-contract close rate

    Tracks each rep’s conversion from inspection visit to signed reroof, and how quickly follow-ups happen after a quote goes out.

  • Gross margin by job type

    Actual material and labour against quoted price per reroof, repair and gutter run.

    Retail reroof 35–42% · storm 40–50% · repairs 50–65% (The Roofing Brief, 2026)
  • Supplement capture

    Approved supplement value as a share of initial claim scope; shows whether crews document decking, flashing and code items.

  • Days from contract to install

    Driven by material lead times and crew capacity; long gaps are where cancellations happen.

  • Leak callback rate

    Callbacks within the workmanship warranty period are tagged automatically and attributed to the original crew.

  • Days to invoice

    Should be zero on completion: balance invoices are generated when the install job closes.

What is roofing software?
Roofing software is field service management software configured for roofing and exterior contractors. It schedules inspections, crews and multi-day installs, tracks storm and insurance jobs through adjuster meetings and supplements, produces option-based quotes and invoices, organises photo documentation per roof and keeps gutter, siding and window work on the same board. FSM Flow adds AI scheduling, document intelligence, an AI assistant and a workflow builder on top of those tools.
Does FSM Flow handle insurance restoration as well as retail roofing?
Yes. Insurance jobs carry claim number, carrier, adjuster contact, deductible, approved scope and supplement status on the work order, with deposit and balance invoices generated as the job progresses. Retail jobs use good-better-best quotes from the price book. Both run on the same scheduler and the same customer record.
Can I attach aerial measurement reports and adjuster estimates?
Yes. Reports from services such as EagleView, adjuster estimate PDFs and supplier invoices are attached to the job and the site. Document intelligence in the AI platform extracts line items and totals from those PDFs so they do not need to be retyped into the quote.
How does FSM Flow schedule crews and material deliveries?
Install jobs are multi-day blocks on the drag-and-drop board with the crew assigned and the material order attached. The job can be held until the delivery date is confirmed, and weather days are added by dragging the block. Repair calls and inspections fill the gaps around the installs.
Does the mobile app work on a roof with no signal?
Yes. The FSM Flow mobile app is offline-first: crews can open the job, complete safety checklists, take and annotate photos and record progress without connectivity. Everything syncs when the device is back online.
How much does FSM Flow cost for a roofing company?
The Professional plan is $29 per user per month with a minimum of five users, and includes scheduling, work orders, quotes, invoicing, inventory, customer management, reporting and the mobile app. Enterprise pricing is custom. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial of Professional, no credit card required, and teams of up to 3 users can stay on the Free plan at no cost.
Can I import customers and jobs from AccuLynx, JobNimbus or spreadsheets?
Yes. Customers, properties, equipment and parts can be imported from spreadsheets exported from systems such as AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Jobber or QuickBooks. Our onboarding team helps map the fields during the trial.
