Roofing calculator is ready for distribution – now you can install the roof price calculator on your website!
July 14, 2010. The distribution system for our roofing calculator is still in beta-testing mode, but you can now get the installation code, which you will not have to change unless, we do major rework of how the calculator is distributed. Please read below for licensing information, installation requirements and pricing for Premium versions of the calculator.

Below, you will find a simple HTML code, that you will have to add to the web-page, where you want to display our roofing calculator. The calculator snippet is 685×1300 pixels, so your site design will need to have a least 690 px wide “body”, otherwise it will look out of proportions.
Do not alter the HTML code in any way. Do not remove our link from the code.

Benefits of installing roof estimate calculator on your website
I found that roofing calculator works AWESOME for us – people already know what to expect in terms of pricing when the estimator shows up to measure a roof, and you avoid the “jaw-dropping effect” for the most part. We also sell more jobs now (percentage wise, as compared to total number of roof estimates we do) and we avoid 95% of price shoppers/tire kickers. Also the calculator pages attract internet traffic by themselves, and these site visitors turn into customers!
- Roofing Calculator adds trust to your roofing business.
- Your potential customers can quickly estimate their roofing costs and know what price levels to expect.
- Roofing Calculator simplifies your sales process, as both customer and roof estimator are on the same page.
Besides the above benefits to your site visitors and to your company, your roofing estimators can actually use this tool to run up their quotes, as the can add almost any roof detail to the calculator.
How to get roof calculator for your website:
We offer 3 versions of the calculator – FREE , Paid with reference, and Paid without reference.
If you want to install roofing calculator on your site, please read below and pay special attention to distribution license.
We plan to roll out a system where roofing contractors and other roofing sites can put our calculator on their site – the way it will work – there will be 3 versions:
- Ad-supported calculator, where together with roof calculator we will show ads, and reference to RoofingCalculator.org. This is the default option, and until you sign up for the subscription, your calculator will be in this mode.
- Subscription-based calculator (Most Popular) – we will charge a small “subscription” rate and put reference back to our site. No ads will be displayed. This option provides you with full-featured roof estimate calculator, without any ads and a non-intrusive mention of RoofingCalculator.org – licensing cost for this option is $100 / year.
- Subscription-based calculator without reference – we will charge a full “subscription” price – no ads or references to RoofingCalculator.org – licensing cost for this option is $175 / year.
Third option will provide the most professional-looking roof estimator for your roofing business, without any ads or mention of RoofingCalculator.org .
All subscription prices will be adjusted in the near future, as we are completing the beta testing and moving into the final version of the calculator.
At this point we will offer only black-on-white color scheme for the calculator and the block size will be 730 pixels wide (we may adjust this during the beta testing period). Later we will add more color options and sizes to fit your web site design.
Customized roofing calculator – we can adjust our roof estimator to fit your company’s needs!
Bear in mind that when we created our roofing calculator, our goal was to make it as universal as possible – this means that prices are averaged for major metropolitan areas in US. This means that if your local roofing price differ from what our roof calculator shows, you may either “scare customers away” or attract them with prices dramatically lower than what you actually charge to install a roof.
We offer 3 roof price level versions of our roofing calculator, but if you need something more accurate, or add / remove features, roofing material types – asphalt shingles, metal roofs, flat roofing, cedar shingles roofs and slate / tile roofing.
Additionally, we offer a custom-tuned version of the calculator, according to “your” needs.
This is still in planning as we need to work out some technical stuff, but already works.
If you want the calculator customized to your needs (eg – adjust pricing, ad / remove features, etc.) or change the design, we will make the roof calculator work the way you need it. The cost of modification / adjustments will be determined on case by case basis, depending on how involved the customization work will be.
We will be posting prices for subscription-based calculators soon, as well as posting the snippet code for the free roof calculator.
We hope you like our roofing calculator, and now you can install it on your roofing or construction relate website, so your customers can estimate their roof replacement costs and hire you to do it. Our calculator is fully customizable, and we can add almost any feature to it. You can read more about current features and future (planned) changes here: http://www.roofingcalculator.org/roofing-calculator-features-update.php.
Basically we want to make it as close to an all-around roof estimator as possible – we actually often use it to calculate our roof prices, when we quote a job!
Examples of roofing calculators used on commercial roofing company’s websites:
Metal Roofing Contractor in Massachusetts uses our roofing calculator to estimate cost of various metal roofs, asphalt shingles, ceder / slate / copper roofs as well as EPDM rubber and PVC flat roofing.
Flat roofing contractor, also in Mass. uses a custom roof estimator to calculate flat roof prices for tar &gravel roofs, EPDM rubber roofing, PVC and TPO single ply membrane roofs ans well as standing seam metal roof prices.
An independent Metal Roofing Industry Resource uses our roof estimator to help home owners interested in metal roofing, to research the prices of metal roofs.
Obtaining a premium version of the roofing calculator
Soon we will put a mechanism in place, which will allow you to get a premium version of the calculator. We will accept payment via PayPal, on annual subscription basis. You will not need to modify the calculator snippet code, unless you get the “Subscription-based calculator without reference” package – in that case you can go ahead and remove the reference link from the code. All other features will adjust automatically.
If you need to have a custom version of the calculator – e.g. you need custom pricing, add / remove different roofing materials as well as adding feature, not included in the calculator already, contact us by email – info@roofingcalculator.org – and we will work out a price quote for you.

Hello Leo,
My name is Jack and I have just started a roofing business in Vancouver Canada.
I intend on becoming the market leader here in Vancouver and In my research came across your roofing calculator.
I think its an excellent tool and actually something I would like to be able to offer directly to our customers.
I think it would be excellent if the customer could price their own job. I would rather the customer could opt to do this.
I actually think, as a service if it starts to work and I see that the results are accurate, meaning the customer is mailing us back the details, that we could charge a $2 thrown onto the bill as a dressed up “admin cost”.
I can transfer this $2 to you directly, (excluding bank fee’s etc..)
I see your software as an advantage to me and would thus like to incorporate it into the business.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Jack Healy-O’connor
