Roofers

Websites for roofers, built and looked after.

After a storm, homeowners want a roofer they can trust and a way to send you photos of the damage. We set up the quote form so they can send those photos straight from their phone.

What we look after

What a roofing website has to do.

Take photos with the quote

A few photos of the damage let you price the job before you drive out. We set the form to take photos from a phone and test it after every update.

Handle the storm rush

Requests come in all at once after a storm. We set up caching so the site stays quick while everyone is looking.

Show finished roofs

Before and after photos sell the next job. We compress them so the gallery opens quickly on a phone.

Explain insurance claims

Homeowners want to know how a storm claim works with you. A clear page answers that before they call.

Show your credentials

If you're certified by a shingle manufacturer, homeowners look for it. We keep those badges and the warranty details current.

Show where you work

A page for each area you cover helps homeowners nearby see that you come to them. We add new ones as you grow.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • After the last hailstorm the site went down, and that was the week everyone was looking for a roofer.
  • People try to attach photos to the quote form and it fails on their phone.
  • The gallery has two hundred project photos and takes forever to open.
  • We got a new manufacturer certification, and the old badge is still on the site.
A note from Ryan

Storm season is when it counts

When I look at a roofing site, I try sending the quote form from my phone with three or four photos attached. That's how homeowners use it after a storm, and it fails more than you'd expect because of file size limits. Then I check whether the site can take a burst of visitors, since the busiest day of the year is the day after a hailstorm.

Can homeowners send you photos from your site?

Send us your site and we'll try the quote form from a phone with a few photos attached, then tell you what we find.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. We set up the quote form to take photos straight from a phone camera, with a size limit that fits phone photos, and the photos come to you with the request.

That's when it matters most, so we plan for it. After a storm most visitors open the same few pages, and we cache those so the server isn't rebuilding them for every visit. If your site is much busier than most, we'll tell you and size a plan to it.

For the towns where you do the most work, yes. A page about roofing in that area, with jobs you've done there, helps people nearby find you. We set each one up to be about that area, with its own jobs and photos.

Yes. That's what Managed + Website is for, and for a roofer we'd build it around the project gallery and the quote form. After launch, email us photos of finished jobs and we add them.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.
Nathan T.
I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
