Nate Sends Proposals 80% Faster After Switching From JobNimbus
Nate Spurbeck, Ark Roofing and Gutters
The Challenge
When Nate launched Ark Roofing and Gutters, JobNimbus was his platform of choice. It handled quoting and a handful of automations, but Nate wasn't using it to its full potential. Running solo, he didn't have to. Most of his process lived in his head. And that worked, for a while…
The real friction showed up at proposal time. Every single estimate meant manual math: calculating shingles, rakes, eaves, line item by line item. A detailed cost-plus quote would take 30-45 minutes of number-crunching before a proposal ever went out the door.
He was also using Roofr for measurements, but the two platforms weren't talking. For every measurement report, Nate had to manually re-enter the numbers into JobNimbus. That kind of friction is easy to absorb when you're doing one or two quotes a week, but it doesn’t scale.
"Switching CRMs sucks, so do your homework. But if you're a retail contractor? Roofr's where I'm staying."
The Solution
Nate's move to Roofr started with a familiar face — the same rep who onboarded him at JobNimbus showed up on his Roofr demo after recently making the switch himself. That level of trust was a big deal. Nate needed a platform he could grow into, not just use today. The conversation turned into less of a sales call and more of a genuine recommendation from someone who'd seen both platforms from the inside.
The deciding factor was the measurement-to-proposal workflow. The ability to pull a measurement report (often in under 10 minutes) and map it into a cost-plus proposal was exactly what Nate had been looking for. No manual math. No re-entering numbers. Just measurement in, proposal out.

"Going straight from measurement to proposal seamlessly like that? That's so sick. That's what I've wanted for so long. It truly cuts so much time getting a proposal out the door."
The Results
80% faster proposals. Quotes that used to take 30-45 minutes now take as little as 5 minutes. Same accuracy. Way less manual work.
A $30,000 proposal, 15 minutes from a measurement. Nate can go from ordered report to sent proposal in under 15 minutes on a job worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Solo operator to structured team in under 60 days. Ark Roofing and Gutters went from one person running everything in their head to a five-person team with defined roles, active automations, and documented processes — all built on Roofr.
Up and running in ~5 weeks. From first conversation to running every quote through Roofr: five weeks. Nate was fully operational before peak season hit.
"The measurement-to-proposal piece alone is worth it. I can get a $30,000 proposal out the door in 15 minutes and feel great about my numbers. That's exactly what I wanted."
Roofr Measurement → Proposal Workflow
For Nate, no feature has had more day-to-day impact than the ability to map measurement data directly into a proposal.
Before Roofr, every quote started with pulling numbers from a measurement report and re-entering them line by line into JobNimbus. It was accurate, but slow. And as the business grew, “slow” became a liability.
With Roofr, that step is gone. Nate orders a measurement report, it comes back in minutes, and the numbers flow straight into his cost-plus proposal template. No transcription. No recalculation. No risk of a typo costing him margin.
That's the difference between getting a proposal out the same day versus the next morning. And in a market where speed to lead drives close rates, being first is a must.
