Question 1

How does RoofMaster Pro calculate roof area?

Accepted Answer

RoofMaster Pro uses your building width, length, overhang, and roof pitch to calculate the sloped roof surface area in square feet and roofing squares. It applies a pitch multiplier for accurate coverage.

Question 2

Can I estimate multi-plane or complex roofs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RoofMaster Pro includes an Advanced mode where you can add multiple roof sections (gable, hip, shed, valley, dormer) and calculate each plane independently for a complete multi-plane estimate.

Question 3

Does RoofMaster Pro support metal roofing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RoofMaster Pro supports asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and corrugated metal roofing. Material quantities and pricing inputs adjust automatically based on your selected roofing type.

Question 4

Can I estimate roof strapping instead of plywood sheathing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RoofMaster Pro includes a full strapping and decking selector. You can choose sheathing only, strapping only, a combination, or none. Strapping spacing options include 16", 24", and 48" O.C.

Question 5

Can I generate PDF quotes with RoofMaster Pro?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RoofMaster Pro generates clean, professional PDF quotes that include a full cost breakdown, project details, and a client signature block. You can add your company name, phone, email, and license number.

Question 6

Does RoofMaster Pro support truss estimating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RoofMaster Pro calculates truss quantities based on building length and spacing (12", 16", 24", or 48" O.C.). You can also add gable-end trusses and input custom truss prices.

Question 7

Can I customize material and labour pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every material and labour rate in RoofMaster Pro is fully editable. You can set your own prices for sheathing, strapping, roofing materials, labour, and disposal to match your local market.

Question 8

Does RoofMaster Pro store customer personal information?

Accepted Answer

No. RoofMaster Pro is privacy-first by design. The app does not collect or store homeowner or customer contact details. Estimates are identified by project name and job location only.

Question 9

Can I estimate tear-off and disposal costs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enable the Disposal module to estimate tear-off labour, dumpster or bin rental, dump fees, haul travel, and heavy material surcharges. All disposal costs are included in the PDF quote.

Question 10

Is RoofMaster Pro still in development?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RoofMaster Pro is actively being developed. Some features, calculations, pricing tools, and PDF outputs may change as we improve accuracy, usability, and contractor workflow.

Question 11

Does RoofMaster Pro use Canadian imperial measurements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All inputs use feet and inches — building width, length, overhang, truss spacing, and pitch are all entered in standard imperial format used by Canadian contractors.

Question 12

Is RoofMaster Pro for engineered truss design?

Accepted Answer

No. RoofMaster Pro is a quantity and pricing estimator, not a structural engineering tool. It calculates how many trusses you need and what they cost, but does not engineer or design truss geometry.
