Roofr is built for residential roofing speed.
Forge is built for the commercial roofer's full work.
Roofr made a sharp product for residential roofing — fast aerial-imagery measurement reports, clean proposal generation, accessible price point. Strong for residential storm-chase + retail. Forge is built for a different operator: the commercial roofer running bid-build, OCIP/CCIP projects, prevailing-wage exposure, and a change-order trail to defend.
Side by side. Honest about both.
Hyperion is in-field LiDAR, not aerial. Forge can read an aerial-imagery report for properties Hyperion can't safely access; Hyperion is the primary capture.
Native and competitive — Roofr's aerial-imagery proposals are a strength, especially for residential.
Yes. Hyperion — iPad Pro M-series LiDAR. Captures geometry the same day the contractor walks the site. Methodology at /proof/hyperion-accuracy.
Not in scope. Aerial-only measurement.
Native commercial assemblies. The drawer Aurora couldn't model is the drawer Hyperion built itself to model.
Residential-first. Commercial roof assemblies typically require a separate estimating tool.
Treasury (coming soon). Davis-Bacon, OCIP/CCIP-aware. Targeting eleven-minute pay-period filings.
Not native.
Field-initiated. Scan delta → change-order → customer signs from the truck. Treasury (coming soon) will write financial impact automatically.
Proposal-side change orders. Commercial change-order workflow is an awkward fit.
A full-time customer service rep runs about $5,500 a month fully loaded. Sabina and every Forge product are custom quoted. We discuss your responsibilities, products and services, then provide the scope, price and terms before you commit. Treasury is in development. Founding Charter is the founder program by application: a founding rate, set at the job-description call and locked for as long as you hold the seat, ten seats, seven open.
Tiered residential plans, accessible price point.
Where Roofr is the right call.
- 01.Residential roofing operators where speed of proposal and accessible price point matter more than commercial-trade compliance.
- 02.Storm-chase + retail residential models with high lead volume and a fast-quote workflow.
- 03.Operators who don't need certified payroll, OCIP, or in-field LiDAR — and want to keep the price point low.
- 04.New roofing operators consolidating their first stack — Roofr's clean residential workflow is a reasonable starting point.
The honest line.
If the operator's work is residential storm-chase or retail roofing with no commercial bid-build side, Roofr is a reasonable choice and meaningfully cheaper than Founding Charter. Founding Charter is built for the commercial roofing operator whose work runs on prevailing wage, change-orders, and a chest the field crew can defend.
Residential and commercial are different trades. Forge picked one. Pick the chest built for yours.
