Satellite imagery in, square footage + pitch out. Phone photos in, first-draft insurance supplement out. No drone, no EagleView fee, no climbing the ladder for a guess.
Phone photos of a leaky valley after the January storms. Drone footage if you have a Part 107 pilot — phone works fine if you don't. AI reviews them, flags likely damage by type and location, drafts the materials list and cause attribution, and assembles a first-draft supplement packet (PDF + Xactimate ESX + Symbility XML) with before/after pairs. You review, edit, and sign before anything goes to the carrier — drafted in minutes, not an afternoon.
| Wind damage | Flags lifted, creased, or missing shingles by row |
| Water intrusion / leaks | Suggests entry points around valleys, ridges, penetrations |
| Tree limb / debris damage | Maps punctures and tear-through locations |
| Flashing failure | Detects separation around chimneys, vents, valleys |
| General condition | Estimates roof age range from granule wear patterns |
AI drafts. You review, edit, and sign every claim before anything goes to the carrier.
AccuLynx can't draft the supplement. Roofr does AI measurements — we go further: supplement-ready packets the adjuster imports in one click.
Square footage, pitch, valley + ridge counts, hip count, dominant face direction — pulled from Google's satellite + Solar API, refined by AI. No drone, no Part 107 license, no $25–$87 EagleView fee, no climbing the ladder for a guess. The measurements drop straight into your quote and your supplement.
| Total roof area + squares | Sum of all roof segments, materials in 100-sq-ft units |
| Pitch per face | Pulls slope from satellite + Solar API |
| Valleys, ridges, hips | AI segments the roof outline, counts intersections |
| Dominant face direction | Useful for solar tie-ins, wind exposure, sun damage |
| Tile vs. shingle vs. flat | AI classifies the surface (LA Spanish-style tiles common) |
If the satellite imagery is too old or the roof is occluded by trees, the system falls back to phone photos — same workflow, same output.
EagleView's a $50M business charging $25–$87 per report. We replace it with the address bar.
Google Local Services paid you back $4.20 for every dollar. Yelp paid back $1.80. Door-knocking after the January storms in Mar Vista booked $14K from $300 in flyers. One phone number — sources tracked automatically. Yelp ad clicks route through a tracked number so we know the source before the call connects; Google Ads spend pulls in via API and matches to the jobs that came back. All matched against your ad spend in one screen. AccuLynx can't. ServiceTitan charges $400/tech for it.
Lead → measure → quote → schedule → install → photos → invoice → follow-up. Every step flows into the next on its own. You enter a job once; the system carries it from there. Less typing, less remembering, more brain space for the actual work. And the code and data are yours, day one and day one thousand.
I know a contractor out of state who wanted to modernize his business — get the AI working, fix the marketing, automate the office. He didn't have time to learn it himself, so he brought on a partner who did. The partner now runs the office, the systems, the AI side. He's still in the field. They split the company 50/50.
That's the modern playbook for getting your business ahead — give up half of it, forever, to a partner who handles the tech side. Hausstack is the third option. We do the tech partner's job. You don't give up a single point of equity.
| Path to a modern roofing business | Annual cost | What you give up |
|---|---|---|
| 50/50 tech partner | $0 cash | 50% of every dollar — forever |
| Hire office manager + marketer + claims specialist | $180K–$260K/yr + benefits | Time, cash, focus |
| Stay scattered on AccuLynx + Yelp + spreadsheets | ~$10K/yr software + missed insurance work | Your weekends, your growth ceiling |
| Hausstack | ~$28K year 1, ~$18K/yr after | Nothing. Code & data are yours. |
Hausstack runs about 1% of a typical LA roofing contractor's annual revenue. Half your business is half of it. There's no comparison.
Because the system is built around how your business actually runs, there's nothing weird to memorize. It looks like how you already work — just faster. Less time training new hires. Fewer "where do I click?" calls in the middle of a job.
AccuLynx scales by user. We don't. And we do things AccuLynx can't do at any price.

*AccuLynx public pricing isn't posted; range from third-party trackers (Apr 2026), annual contract typical. It can pay for itself once you stop paying $25–$87 per EagleView report, every AI-drafted supplement saves an afternoon, and ad spend shifts toward sources that actually book jobs — even a few extra closed claims cover the delta. The first call is honest, no pressure — we'll only build it if it makes sense for your business.
Whatever you're on today — AccuLynx, Roofr, JobNimbus, JobProgress, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks — we pull your customers, open jobs, invoice history, and price book into your new system in week one. Photos and historical job notes follow in week two. We do not rip out your old system on day one. Your current system runs side-by-side until you've signed off on every record.
Your data is encrypted both when moving and when stored. Privacy agreement signed before anything moves. Old exports deleted once you're live. Nothing imported automatically without you reviewing it first.
No per-user fees.
Best fit: residential and storm/insurance-work roofing contractors doing roughly $1.5M–$5M+ in annual revenue, with enough claim volume and ad spend for AI-drafted supplements and better follow-up to matter.
High claim volume, carrier-specific export needs, multi-location operations, custom accounting workflows, or unusually messy migrations are scoped separately.
Book the call →Most LA contractors are still on a generic Wix or GoDaddy template that doesn't reflect the business they actually run. While we're building your software, we'll build a modern custom website to go with it — your branding, your photography, plus your customer portal login, online booking, payments, and review links right on the homepage. A site like this is $7,500 on its own. Bundled with your build, it's $2,500 — because your brand and content work are already on the table, and we're already on the calendar. One launch day, one team, one bill.
