Support the inspection findings
Keep the reported roof concerns, photographs, limitations, and recommended next steps attached to the property information.
Give clients a clear next step when the roof raises concern.
You document the visible condition. AZ Roof Estimator helps the client understand the likely cost, arrange additional roof documentation when needed, and compare approved roofer proposals without exposing the client to multiple roofing sales calls.

A BETTER REFERRAL PATH
Answer the cost question without pretending to be the roofer.
Clients often hear that the roof needs attention and immediately ask what it will cost. A controlled planning and bidding path gives them a useful next step while preserving the inspector's role.
Control contractor contact
The client can review a planning range before choosing whether to request direct contractor proposals or communication.
Strengthen the client experience
Provide a practical resource after the inspection instead of leaving the client to search for roofers under a contract deadline.
HOW IT WORKS
A controlled handoff after the inspection.
The inspector remains responsible for the inspection report. AZ Roof Estimator handles the separate roof-cost planning and contractor-comparison path.
Share the partner link
The client enters the property address and can identify the inspection concern, deadline, and available report information.
Create the planning report
The client receives property-based cost information with clear assumptions and limits rather than a contractor's final quote.
Verify when needed
One roof visit can document the project further when the visible condition, roof type, repair scope, or replacement details require it.
Compare roofers only when requested
Approved roofers price the same documented project after the client chooses to continue into the marketplace.
INSPECTOR-FRIENDLY BOUNDARIES
Keep the inspection, estimate, and contractor proposal distinct.
Clients should understand which document reports observed conditions, which one offers planning information, and which one is a roofer's contractual proposal.
Inspection report
The inspector documents observations, limitations, and recommendations under the inspector's own standards and agreement.
Planning range
AZ Roof Estimator provides a property-based cost range with assumptions. It is not a roof inspection or final contractor quote.
Roof documentation
A separate roof visit can capture measurements, photographs, roof type, access, and visible project details for bidding.
Contractor proposal
Each selected roofing company remains responsible for its own scope, price, exclusions, warranty, and construction agreement.
CLIENT AND PROJECT CONTROL
A referral should preserve the inspector's credibility.
The client sees the limits of each service, controls whether roofers become involved, and receives a defined next step without automatic distribution to multiple contractors.
Contact stays controlled
Tell us who may be contacted and when. Roofers do not receive the client's direct contact information during the first round of bidding.
One shared project file
Property details, roof information, deadlines, photographs, and bid assumptions stay tied to the same address.
Comparable proposals
Approved roofers start with the same documented project details so differences in price, scope, timing, and warranty are easier to see.
Direct roofing contract
The property owner signs the final construction agreement directly with the licensed roofing contractor selected for the project.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A useful next step without blurring professional roles.
Does the planning report replace the home inspection?
No. It does not replace the inspection report, a specialist evaluation, or a contractor's final proposal.
Can the report include the inspector's branding?
Approved partners can receive a restrained co-branded report link that identifies the referring inspector while keeping AZ Roof Estimator as the roof-cost platform.
Will the inspector see the client's private email?
The partner workflow is designed to show practical project activity without exposing more client information than the workflow requires.
Does the client have to hire a roofer?
No. The client may use the planning information and stop there. Contractor proposals are optional.
