The Most Sophisticated Tool for Roofing Estimation

Sherwin-Williams Roofing Passport 5.23

By Cayden Wemple. 

Sherwin-Williams has partnered with EagleView to create Roofing Passport; the most advanced roofing estimator on the market.  

The days of legal pads and “analog” estimating are over, and tools like the Roofing Passport are increasing in popularity practically daily. In the first-ever episode of MetalCast, Heidi J. Ellsworth spoke with Mark MacDonald of Sherwin-Williams' coil division to discuss the Roofing Passport and its many benefits.  

“[Roofing Passport] is the most sophisticated tool that's been built in the market for roofing estimation. And it's needed for a few reasons,” Mark explained. “They want speed of turnaround so they have the information they need when they get in the home. But also they want to have confidence in the estimation, that when they give an estimate to a homeowner, it's going to correlate pretty tightly with the final product order. That's all money in the bank.”  

The Roofing Passport is extremely accurate, as the product orders are usually within $100-$200 of the initial estimate, and Mark says that it’s only made possible with a partner like EagleView. “EagleView has the ability to mine that data in their database, and there's no one else that has that kind of data,” Mark said. “The type of accuracy that they have developed over a fairly long period of time now is unequaled in the market.”  

This is a very exciting time to be a contractor, as technology is advancing at a rate we have never seen before, and Roofing Passport has almost become the “norm” for estimating over at Sherwin-Williams. “I think for the contractors, [Roofing Passport] is another example of a tool that's available to them,” Mark shared. “It's almost an implied requirement because of the turnaround time and the requirement for having connectivity between the estimate and the order process. Because that can be very complicated when you start running a large number of bids, you really do want to use the Roofing Passport.”
