Commercial flat-roof takeoffs
Commercial roof takeoffs, checked by a roofing foreman.
Fast software first pass. Every area, edge and count checked by hand before it reaches you. Quantities back in 48 hours on a clean report with marked-up plans, priced per job, no contract.
WHAT COMES BACK
Why contractors send me their drawings
Checked by a roofer
Over 15 years in roofing, the last 5 as a commercial foreman, and I've run my own roofing company. I've installed TPO, EPDM and mod-bit. I read the details, not just the plan, and I catch the things that blow budgets: abandoned curbs, crickets, wall flashing nobody priced.
Fast, without cutting corners
Takeoff software does the first pass of measuring on every set. Then I check every area, edge and count myself before anything goes out. 48-hour turnaround as standard, 24 hours when you're up against bid day.
Priced per job
No annual software licence, no contract. Send the set and I'll confirm a flat price before I start. Once you're sending work every month, a retainer brings the price per takeoff down.

Common questions
Do you use AI?
Yes, for the first pass of measuring, the way you'd use a calculator. Then I check it all myself, and my name goes on every takeoff. Your drawings are never shared or reused for anyone else.
What roof systems do you cover?
Commercial low-slope: TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up and coatings. Tear-off, recover and new construction.
What if the drawings are unclear?
I write down every assumption and list the questions to send the engineer, so nothing is guessed silently.
Do you price the job?
No. You get quantities; your pricing and your margins stay with you.
Who's behind it
I'm Kevin Blake. I've been roofing for over 15 years: I ran my own roofing company, and for the last 5 years I've been a commercial foreman running crews on TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen roofs. I know what a drawing leaves out and where a job loses money.
When I ran my own company, I did every takeoff and bid myself, at the kitchen table after a full day on the roof. So I know exactly what it's worth to hand them off to someone you can trust.
I'm Red Seal certified, Canada's national journeyman roofer certification.
Blake Takeoffs is for commercial flat-roof contractors with 5 to 50 people, where the owner is doing takeoffs at night or the estimator is buried. You get a roofer's eye on your quantities without hiring one.
Serving roofing contractors across the US and Canada, outside Alberta.
