When it comes to software for contractors, you need something designed by experienced roofing professionals for roofing professionals. What you need is software that gives you an edge on the competition. You want the EDGE®. 

The EDGE offers roofers an all-in-one roofing takeoff and cost-estimating software solution. Not only is The EDGE completely customized to your trade, but it’s also customized to your business so that your takeoff sources the exact materials and manufacturers that your business utilizes.  

While robust and powerful, the EDGE is intuitive and easy enough to learn that your contractors and estimators will be up and running in a week or less. 

In addition to being remarkably intuitive, the EDGE includes extensive databases of roofing-specific systems from manufacturers such as Elevate, Johns Manville, TAMKO, Versico, SOPREMA, GAF, Carlisle, Duro-Last and many more. 

Plus, the EDGE comes loaded with roofing-specific conditions allowing you to select a roofing system, choose the parts list, and automatically calculate measurements and all material costs while you perform a takeoff. You can use the EDGE to quickly and accurately track every item. 

With the EDGE you can:
