Matt,

I have never used it but have seen it advertised on the internet for the past several years.

Maybe we should find out about all roofing specific and roof marketing specific software program.

What is wrong with doing your estimates on a per-job basis from your years of technical, code, and production knowledge?

I agree. Contracker is about being a 15 minute estimator. Every job is different. Try spending more time with the homeowner and you will build more trust, close more jobs at a higher profit margin. Wow what a concept - less work more money.

Old thread but still wondering what you guys think. Before you bash it look around the site. I think it looks great but no where near the price they are asking for it.

Re: What's Your Opinion On This Sofware


I actually used Contracker for 4 years before I moved over to MAC OS. I liked the software, but it's really stand alone. No way to import contact info or export financial info. Haven't followed it in a few years, so that may have changed. It really helped our company out, by allowing us to provided quotes same day and on site! If they moved over to the MAC OS I'd look at them again.
