Can I bill the insurance carrier directly?

Yes. Use the carrier as the 'bill to' contact and the homeowner as the 'CC' — both get the invoice, and payment can come from either party.

Does it integrate with EagleView or Hover?

Not directly today. Export their measurement PDFs and attach them to the estimate — that's what most insurance adjusters want anyway.

How do I handle supplements?

Add supplement lines to the active job or issue a supplemental estimate the customer approves separately. The paper trail stays clean if there's ever a dispute.

Can I take ACH for large deposits?

Yes. Card and ACH are both offered on the pay link. ACH is typically preferred on deposits over $5,000 for the lower fee.

What about non-taxable insurance repairs?

Per-line tax control lets you mark insurance-covered labor as exempt where your state allows. Check the state tax page for your jurisdiction.

Estimate software built for roofers

Roofing estimates live and die on two numbers: squares of material and squares of labor. Glo Invoice lets you save both as unit-priced line items, so a 30-square architectural re-roof is four taps: material, labor, tear-off, disposal. Underlayment, drip edge, ridge vent, and starter come off your saved catalog with markup already applied.

Insurance jobs get their own line-item structure that mirrors the Xactimate scope, and the signed estimate is the paper trail your adjuster asks for. Deposits collect on approval so the material order doesn't sit on your credit card.

How Glo Invoice does it

Price by the square, not the shingle

Every material has a unit — square, linear foot, each — and Glo Invoice tracks quantity and price separately so you can adjust one without recalculating the other. Change from 3-tab to architectural mid-estimate and only that line updates.

Save square-priced items: shingles, felt, ice-and-water
Linear foot items: drip edge, valley, ridge vent
Fixed items: chimney flash, pipe boots, skylight kit

Insurance scope alignment

Type a supplement line matching the adjuster's exact wording, upload the scope PDF as an attachment, and send the estimate to both the homeowner and the carrier. Photos of hail hits, wind damage, and drip edge attach to the estimate so nothing gets lost between claim and completion.

Attach up to 10 photos + PDF scope
'Bill to' insurance carrier, 'CC' homeowner
Separate deductible line item

Deposit on signature, materials on order

The moment the homeowner signs the estimate on their phone, they see the deposit request. Card and ACH both work — larger deposits usually go ACH for the lower fee. Materials get ordered the same afternoon.

How it works

Step 1
Measure and photo the roof
Drone imagery, ground shots, or hand measurement — attach directly to the estimate draft.
Step 2
Build by unit
Pull square-priced material, labor, tear-off, and disposal from the saved catalog.
Step 3
Send with the scope PDF attached
Homeowner and carrier both get the estimate on their phone or email.
Step 4
Deposit, install, invoice
Deposit lands on approval, balance invoice goes out on completion — sometimes the same week.
