Speeding up the metal roof takeoff process

Speeding up the metal roof takeoff process
October 12, 2026 at 7:00 a.m.

By The Coffee Shops®.  

Thanks to technology advancements and the introduction of highly accurate measurement data, contractors and takeoff experts can get the job done faster. 

In a recent episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Megan Ellsworth sat down with Melissa Dunson, director of marketing for Central States Manufacturing, to discuss the ways technology is revolutionizing metal roof takeoffs for the better.  

By implementing the latest digital measurement tools and platforms, roofing contractors can streamline their quote processes without sacrificing accuracy or quality. As Melissa notes, Central States not only offers a wide variety of metal roofing products, but they also provide their customers with the digital resources and applications to simplify their daily processes. Users are provided with the quotes needed for their metal takeoff projects in a quick timeframe, which enables them to then use that valuable time elsewhere. She shared, "We want to be able to quickly and accurately turn around full roof takeoffs and quotes for contractors and distributors." 

"As labor shortages have increased and everything takes longer than it should, contractors have to do more by hand. But time is money... We want to find a way to provide contractors with a way to get accurate roof takeoff estimates and quote faster," Melissa shared. "As measurement technology and software has changed significantly in recent years, we have tools and innovations that are having a big impact for metal contactors." 

The reliability of a project's measurements is critical to the success of a metal project. Any error can be costly and wasteful. But by utilizing a program that guarantees accurate measurements and results, users can rest easy knowing that their time is being put to good use, elsewhere.  

Listen to the conversation or Watch the episode to learn more about implementing software for streamlining measurement data and reports with Central States.
