Roofing Contractor Software in Michigan
Most roofing CRMs were built for enterprise shops with a full office staff. This one wasn't. ExteriorPro is for the crew doing 40 to 200 roofs a year who are tired of tracking inspections in a notebook, chasing adjusters by text, and wondering which estimates actually went out. Log a lead the second it comes in. Pull the measurements into an estimate without re-keying. Attach inspection photos to the job, not a random phone gallery. Send the invoice the same day the crew comes off the roof.
Storm season in Michigan means the phone won't stop — ExteriorPro makes sure every call turns into a logged lead and a same-day callback, not a sticky note on the dashboard.
From $199/month per location. No credit card required to start.

Michigan is one of the states that actually licenses roofers. Any residential job worth $600 or more needs either a Residential Builder license or a Maintenance and Alteration Contractor license from the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, and roofing is one of the trades the Maintenance and Alteration license is broken into. Getting one means a 60-hour course and a state exam. Homeowners can look you up on the LARA site, and a lot of them do before they sign anything.
The season is the other thing that shapes a Michigan roofing business. Most companies get about seven working months, from the time the snow clears in April until it comes back in November. Every roof the company will do that year has to fit inside that window, which is why scheduling matters more here than in a state where you can tear off in January.
Ice dams drive a lot of the repair and replacement calls. Snow melts over the warm part of the attic, runs down, and refreezes at the cold eave, and the water backs up under the shingles. That is why Michigan's residential code requires an ice barrier along the eaves, running from the edge to at least two feet inside the exterior wall line. Estimates that leave out the ice and water shield are the ones that get corrected at inspection.
Storms matter too, just not the way they do in Texas or Colorado. Southeast Michigan and the Grand Rapids area see hail and straight-line wind most springs and summers, and some of that turns into insurance work. The claim process has the same paperwork as anywhere else, with adjusters, deductibles, and a lot of waiting.
The housing stock is mostly asphalt shingle on ranches and colonials built between the 1950s and the 1980s, especially around Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids. A good share of those roofs are on their second or third layer, so tear-off and decking replacement come up on a lot of bids. A price book that already knows what a sheet of OSB costs at the supplier you use saves the same math on every job.
