TPO & EPDM Flat Roofing
Commercial flat roofing estimating for TPO and EPDM systems. Membrane by SF with seam overlap waste factor, insulation by R-value, flashing and edge metal by LF, and fastener count calculated automatically. Mechanically fastened, adhered, and ballasted systems all supported.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Residential and commercial shingle roofing with automatic slope factor from pitch input. Squares calculated from plan SF with slope multiplier applied. Includes underlayment, starter strip, ridge cap, and ice and water shield in valleys and eaves.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and exposed fastener metal roofing by SF with panel coverage calculation. Slope factor applied automatically. Includes trim, closures, sealant, and fasteners. Structural and architectural panel systems both supported with separate labor rates.
Modified Bitumen & Built-Up
Commercial modified bitumen and built-up roofing estimating by SF. Torch-down, cold-applied, and self-adhered systems all supported with correct ply counts and lap waste. Includes primer, base sheet, cap sheet, and surfacing as separate line items.
Tear-Off & Disposal
Roof tear-off by SF with layer count adjustment. Includes dumpster, haul-off, and disposal. Separate rates for shingle tear-off, membrane removal, and insulation removal. Recoverable roof boards vs. non-recoverable priced separately.
Insulation & Roofing & Siding
Roof insulation by R-value and thickness — polyiso, EPS, and mineral wool all supported. Tapered insulation scoping with drain sumps. Also includes siding estimating assemblies for contractors who do both roofing and siding — the most common combination in commercial exterior work.
From plan measurements to roofing proposal in minutes
ScopeTakeoff’s roof estimating software is built around how roofing contractors actually estimate — measure plan area, enter pitch, select roofing system, and get a fully priced estimate with professional SOV output ready for GC submission.
Measure plan area
Enter plan SF from your field measurement or upload a PDF drawing and take off roof areas directly. For commercial flat roofs this is your bid SF. For sloped roofs, enter your plan SF and pitch — actual roof area is calculated automatically.
Select roofing system
Choose TPO, EPDM, shingle, metal, or modified bitumen. Select your spec — membrane thickness, insulation R-value, attachment method. Material quantities, waste, and fastener counts calculate instantly.
Add tear-off and flashing
Add tear-off scope with layer count, flashing by LF, edge metal, and penetration detailing. Every line item priced at your saved labor and material rates. Override anything to match your current supplier pricing.
Export proposal or SOV
One click exports a professional roofing proposal for residential clients or a Schedule of Values formatted for commercial GC submission. No reformatting required.

Why roofing contractors choose ScopeTakeoff
“The automatic slope factor is the feature that sold me. I enter plan SF and pitch and it calculates actual roof area instantly. No more separate spreadsheet for the slope multiplier — it’s built into the assembly.”
“We do commercial TPO and EPDM work for GCs. The SOV output is exactly what the GC procurement team expects — line items by scope, unit prices, extended totals. We’ve never had a submission rejected for formatting.”
“I do both roofing and siding on commercial exteriors. Having both trades in one platform means one estimate, one SOV, one submission. Before ScopeTakeoff I was managing two separate tools and combining them manually.”
