Astra Labs Start for $99

Web design for roofers

Roofing websites that show the roof, explain the job and bring in inspections.

Astra Labs designs custom websites for roofing contractors, flat roof specialists and gutter installers. It costs $499 one time for up to five pages, with $99 to start and the rest when you love it. The site is built from your own job photos and drone shots, explains your work part by part on a drawn roof, and ends in an inspection or quote request that reaches you directly.

The idea we keep coming back to: draw the roof, let the homeowner tap the part they are worried about, show the roofer's own photo of that repair and start the quote from there.
What the site has to do

A roofer's site has one job: get you up the ladder.

Nobody looks at roofing websites for fun. They arrive with a leak, a missing tile after a storm or a quote that seems high. These are the things that help them pick up the phone, learned from the roofing sites we have designed and the ones they replaced.

  1. Meet people at the problem they can see

    Homeowners describe what they see from inside or from the street: a stain on the ceiling, moss, a sagging gutter. Let them start there, then show which part of the roof it usually comes from and what the repair looks like.

  2. Use your drone and your phone, not stock

    A roofer's own drone shot of a finished re-roof does more than any stock photo of a smiling man on a ladder. Most roofers already have these shots in their camera roll or on Facebook; we cut them into the opening of the site.

  3. Explain the inspection

    For most roofers the free inspection or survey is where every job starts. Show what you check, how long it takes and what the homeowner gets afterwards, ideally with your own marked-up photos.

  4. Make the materials make sense

    Felt, GRP, liquid rubber, metal, tile, slate. A short side by side in plain words, next to photos of jobs in each, helps people ask for the right thing and trust your price.

  5. Storm and insurance work, said plainly

    Where you help with storm damage and insurance claims, say how it works step by step. Where you do not, leave it out. Clear beats clever.

  6. One quote path, on every screen

    A call button and a short request (the problem, the roof type, the town, a photo by text) on every part of the page, so the visitor never has to scroll back to the top to ask.

What we found

Roofers' websites, checked one by one.

We read the current site of every roofing business we designed for in October 2026: 11 roofers and gutter installers in the US, the UK, Australia and South Africa. On 1 November 2026 we opened each homepage again as a phone would. The group is small, so read these as what we saw, not as an industry average.

The roofers in this group were good at their trade and many had strong Google reviews. Their websites had usually been made by a marketing agency or on a site builder, and the pattern repeats: a stock hero image, long keyword text written for search engines, and the roofer's own photos and drone footage sitting unused on Facebook. Several sites carried dozens or hundreds of near-identical town pages. One business had only a parked domain.

Method: our review notes describe each old site in writing; we counted notes that mention stock or generated images and placeholder or demo content. Phone checks opened each homepage once at 390 pixels wide. See the full method.

Roofing work

Eight roofing sites, and the idea behind each.

None of these roofers asked to be named, so we describe the trade and region only. Each design was built from the roofer's own photos, words and prices.

Roofer, repairs and re-roofsEast Yorkshire, UK

Fly the roof

What we found
A large, tidy site with hundreds of service and area pages, built in a style that could belong to any trade.
What we built
Their free drone survey made literal. The page opens high over their own finished roofs, then pins on a real re-roof open close-ups of the same spots from the scaffold, each with their price.
Roof repairs and restorationsPerth, Western Australia

Every line is a job

What we found
A builder template with stock banners and a leftover placeholder page still in the menu.
What we built
A roof plan of a local hip roof where each ridge, valley, flashing and gutter is one of his services, with his own photo and words, and a text to him from any part.
Roofing crewLake Norman, North Carolina

From above

What we found
A one-page site with emoji icons, sample-style testimonials and empty video players, with one real job photo.
What we built
Their own drone reels cut into one opening loop, and a button that redraws their red inspection circles onto the storm hits on a real roof, because that inspection is how their insurance jobs begin.
Residential roofingCentral Washington

Every peak, every valley

What we found
A recent builder site with a stock hero, a pop-up over the first screen and three competing accent colours.
What we built
A roof drawn in the line of their logo, where homeowners tap the ridge, valley, chimney or skylight, see the crew's real work on that part and start a quote for that exact spot.
Roofing and buildingWest London, UK

A flat roof, layer by layer

What we found
An agency template with a stock slate hero, counters, sample-looking testimonials and hundreds of keyword area links.
What we built
A cross-section that builds joists, deck, upstands, finish and rooflight as you scroll beside their mid-build photos, then a felt, GRP or liquid rubber picker that carries the choice into the quote.
Seamless guttersDallas Fort Worth, Texas

One piece, cut to your roofline

What we found
A crowded template with a generic hero, badge rows, pop-ups and emoji.
What we built
One seamless gutter rolls out to the visitor's roofline length next to sectional pieces with every joint shown, then size, stories and colour fill a cut ticket sent by text, WhatsApp or email.
Roof repair and replacementEastern Kentucky

Every nail and beam

What we found
A builder template filled with stock images, a stock video and sample reviews, and no photos of their own yet.
What we built
With no own footage, we used licensed film of misty ridges that reads as their mountain counties, and a roof that goes on as you scroll, rafters to ridge cap, across the seven counties they cover.
Chimney and roof repairsIsle of Wight, UK

Point to the problem

What we found
A builder template with a grey bar, default blue buttons and a video embed as the hero.
What we built
A house elevation with a height ruler. The visitor taps the pot, stack, roof or gutter and the firm's own access platform reaches it, showing a real job photo, the service and a prefilled quote.
What comes with it

Made for leaks, storms and second opinions.

Every roofing site we make includes these as standard.

The drawn roof

Your services on a roof drawn in your style. Each part opens your own photo of that repair and starts a request for it.

Inspection request

The problem, the roof type, the town and a photo by text, in a few taps. A real enquiry form to your inbox is added at launch.

Your drone and phone footage

We cut your own clips into a short loop that plays quietly, sized for phones so it does not eat their data.

Materials in plain words

The roof systems you fit, side by side, with a job photo for each.

Reviews where they count

Your best Google review lines beside the request button, in your customers' words.

Your own dashboard

Add finished roofs, change prices and swap photos yourself, from your phone, between jobs.

Questions

Roofers ask us.

How much does a roofing website cost?

With Astra Labs it is $499 one time for up to five pages: $99 to start and $400 when you love the finished site, before it goes live on your domain. Extra pages are $149 for five. There is no monthly fee unless you want us to host and look after it, which is $30 a month.

I have drone footage and phone videos. Can you use them?

Yes, please send them. We cut the best moments into a short loop for the top of the site and use stills elsewhere. Clips from Facebook, Instagram or your camera roll all work. If you have none yet, we can use licensed footage that fits your area until you do.

Can homeowners send me photos of their roof?

Yes. The request button opens a text or WhatsApp message that is already written with the problem, roof type and town, and they add photos from their phone before sending it to you.

My current site has lots of town pages for Google. Will I lose them?

No page Google knows is left pointing at nothing. At launch every old address is redirected to the most relevant new page. If you want the old pages themselves kept as real pages, the $149 move covers up to 30 pages and 50 posts.

Will the site help me rank for roofing searches in my area?

The site is built the way Google likes to read pages: light and quick on a phone, clean code, a clear title and description for every page and your business details marked up. At launch we connect your Google Business Profile, where your reviews and service area do much of the work for local roofing searches.

Do I keep my domain and email?

Yes. Your domain stays registered in your name and your email keeps working. We change only the setting that points your domain at the new site.

The next storm will send people looking for a roofer.

Let them find one who shows his work. $499 for the complete site, $99 to start.
