Executive Summary

Roofing and exterior contractors lose bids and waste field time because manual measuring, estimating and follow-up are slow and inconsistent; with roughly 1,000,000 contractors in the addressable market and an average contract value around $5,000, slow quoting directly reduces revenue and close rates. Homeowners increasingly expect instant, polished quotes and will prefer vendors that respond in minutes rather than days. You could build an AI-powered visual estimator that converts photos or drone scans into a line-item, contractor-ready quote in about 60 seconds by combining computer vision, standardized pricing libraries, and a human-in-the-loop review for edge cases. Delivered as a mobile app with a web dashboard and CRM/insurance integrations, a pricing model of SaaS seats plus per-quote credits would capture both solo contractors and larger chains. This is an attractive time to enter: AI vision models are now practically usable, SMB trades are adopting specialized SaaS, and buyer expectations for speed are rising—together supporting a $5.0B addressable market with a market score of 95/100 and revenue potential at 90/100. Competition is medium, so early entrants can gain share by moving quickly while differentiating on accuracy and field usability. To stand out you must target verified accuracy (for example ≤5% variance), invest in a large, diverse training dataset, offer white‑glove onboarding and clear liability/accuracy guarantees, and accept the main challenges—data collection, handling edge cases, regulatory and insurance alignment, and winning trust from risk-averse contractors.
