Gaffer for
roofers.
Roofing is weather, scaffolding and working at height, and the paperwork reflects it. Gaffer keeps the scaffold inspections and working-at-height assessments on the job, reschedules a rained-off day by dragging it, and gets the invoice out while the customer can still see the new roof. Quote, schedule, record the work, invoice and get paid — with the 24 documents roofers actually use already in the account.
Priced quote templates for roofers, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
24 certificates and forms specific to roofers, filled in on the phone, signed on site and emailed as a PDF before you leave.
One tap raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit and sends a Pay Now link. Reminders chase for you.
Finished jobs surface follow-up work automatically — the room you did not do, the quote they never answered, the customer who has gone quiet.
A re-roof, end to end
This is the shape of the work in Gaffer — the same job you already do, with the hand-offs taken off your plate.
