Most roofing contractors still manually re-enter Xactimate PDF line items into spreadsheets and supplier portals, taking hours and introducing errors. CapOut eliminates that. Upload an insurance scope PDF and instantly get trade-level line items, profit margins per trade, and ready-to-send material and labor orders, in seconds. Built by a 15-year roofing contractor, it mirrors how jobs actually run in the field. Not just estimation, full order generation.
I've been running a roofing construction company for 15 years. Every time an adjuster sent over an Xactimate PDF, someone on my team had to manually pull out the line items, figure out the materials, call the supplier, and coordinate the crew. For every single job.
That process hasn't changed in decades. And it costs contractors hours they don't have.
I built CapOut because I lived that problem. The goal was simple: upload the PDF, get your orders. No re-entry, no spreadsheets, no guessing on margin.
We're just getting started. Would love to hear from anyone else who's felt this pain firsthand.
