James Scored a 2x Close Rate When He Switched from Jobber to Roofr

James used Jobber for a couple of years. Everything technically worked, but it wasn't roofing software. Every estimate needed a workaround. To offer a client multiple product options, he had to build three separate estimates for the same job and link them manually to the file. At the volume James operates, that meant a constant backlog of duplicate estimates sitting open, waiting on responses that never came.

On top of that, the CompanyCam integration barely worked, requiring a re-sync nearly 20 times a month. Jobber had only added proper templates about six months before James left. And since COVID pushed everything digital, printing out estimates and handing them to customers in person wasn't going to cut it anymore. James was spending hours tailoring a generic platform to fit roofing, instead of just doing roofing.

James made the switch to Roofr in early 2026. What drew him in wasn't a single feature, but the fact that everything he'd been cobbling together finally existed in one place: professional proposals, measurement reports, CompanyCam integration, terms and conditions, and client communication. And all of it purpose-built for roofing.

Onboarding took between 10 and 20 hours before he was up and running. James is a tinkerer, so he dug into automations, built out templates, and tested edge cases until he'd made the platform his own. The learning curve was steeper than Jobber's, but that depth was the point. 

He now sends proposals that bundle inspection photos, sections of the measurement report, and the full estimate into one clean package. And the whole thing goes out digitally in a format that looks as professional as any large contractor in his market.

Since switching to Roofr Proposals, James estimates he's nearly doubled his closing rate. The difference is the package: inspection photos up top, measurement report data in the middle, estimate at the bottom. That’s everything a homeowner needs to say ‘yes’ in one scroll. Proposals now answer client questions before they're asked, and James is hearing less "what's this?" and more "can you bring these colors?"

Admin time has been cut just as dramatically. No more triple-estimating one client. No more re-syncing CompanyCam 20 times a month. And no more flipping between four apps. The built-in terms and conditions pushed James to tighten his contracts, which is a bigger deal in the Canadian market where trust is everything. One platform. One screen. Everything he needs.
