Give homeowners an instant roof quote and 3D roof report on your website

A licensed Florida roofer used Claude to build an instant roof quote, a 3D satellite roof report and an AI roof visualizer for his website in one morning. Every lead gets an instant reply, and a bid folder and quote draft are made for the owner to send.

How they set it up

1. Write down your real prices: installed price per square for each material, dumpster cost, and travel cost per mile.
2. Ask Claude to build a quote page that looks up the address, measures the roof from Google satellite and height data, and shows a price with every line item.
3. Build a 'see your new roof' tool in an AI app builder (they used Base44): the homeowner uploads a photo and picks a roof type and color.
4. Send every form to one lead inbox that saves the lead, emails you, and replies to the homeowner right away.
5. Draft quotes from the same price table and send them yourself after a check. Label online prices as estimates and measure on site before ordering.

Result

All three tools were built in one morning, and each one sends leads straight to the office. Satellite lookups cost a few cents each and only run after a homeowner submits the form. The post shares no sales numbers yet. (as reported by the source)

Build a roof quote page for [Company]. Ask for address, ZIP, name, phone and email. Use satellite roof data to get roof area and pitch. Price = squares x (1 + waste) x my price per square for [materials], plus 1 dumpster per 10 squares at $[X] and travel at $[Y]/mile from [office ZIP]. Show each line item, label it an estimate, and email me the lead.
