Roofing, Drone-Style Satellite Quote Tool
Address in, satellite roof analysis, instant three-tier quote on a marked-up image, then the lead books an inspection with a $50 refundable deposit. Works day one, no list needed.
This blueprint is free. Copy the master prompt below, build it with your own time, and the only outlay is a few low-cost tool subscriptions. Use it inside your own business, or sell it to clients. The numbers further down are what you can charge, not what you pay.
The Satellite Quote Blueprint That Kills the Dead-End Roofing Contact Form
Read the articleWho you sell it to
Roofing companies spending $1k+/mo on Google or Meta ads who currently send leads to a basic contact form.
If you sell it, here is the money picture:
The first tile is the value of your client's own jobs, which is the reason they will pay you. The other two tiles are what you charge them.
How it works
A homeowner enters their property address. The app pulls a satellite image from Google Maps, runs a vision model on it to measure the roof, identify the material and assess complexity, then displays an instant quote with three pricing tiers overlaid on the satellite image. The lead books an inspection slot and pays a $50 refundable deposit through Stripe before they ever speak to a salesperson.
Every captured lead lands in an admin dashboard the roofing company can manage themselves.
What to expect
When you paste this in, the AI builder spends 5-10 minutes building and will usually get 80-90% right in one shot. Expect to send 2-3 follow-up messages to fix small things like "the satellite image isn't loading on mobile" or "the Stripe button isn't showing the deposit amount." That's normal, the first response won't be perfect, but it'll be close.

Sign upAppBuild.DIY (Vibes)
Wraps the deployed Base44 owner-approval app into native iOS/Android apps plus a polished PWA, branded to the client. Native push notifications are the key plugin here: the owner's 'New estimate ready' ping lands as a real push straight into the approval queue instead of riding on SMS/email, which matters because the entire pitch of this tool is out-responding competitors in the first minutes after a voicemail lands. Handles branding and app store submission.
