5 Quoting Mistakes Roofers Make (And the Fix)
Avoid these common pitfalls and win more roofing jobs.
Relying on tape measure guesswork
Eyeballing a roof often leads to underestimating materials. Send a photo of the job to AgentBuddy and it generates a detailed quote in seconds, including exact sheet lengths and flashings.
Forgetting hidden material costs
New NZ building code requires specific underlay and fixings. AgentBuddy automatically includes these in every quote, so you never miss a cost.
Ignoring weather and access
Rain can delay a roof replacement by days. Your quote should mention weather contingency. AgentBuddy adds a default weather clause and site access notes to protect your margin.
Quoting a flat roof like a pitched one
Flat roofs need different labour rates and materials. AgentBuddy's AI recognises roof type from your photo and adjusts the quote accordingly, preventing profit loss.
Forgetting to follow up
Most roofers send one quote and wait. AgentBuddy automatically sends reminder texts and emails to the client, and goes back to them if they haven't booked within a week.
