Send ten roofing proposals in an afternoon
You climbed ten roofs this week. Now you owe ten people a price, and each one is 25 minutes at the kitchen table typing the same proposal with different numbers in it. Most roofers do them one a night and lose the week. Here's how to do all ten in one afternoon.
Updated August 20, 2026
Save your standard job as a template, once
Nearly every roofing proposal you send is the same proposal. Tear-off, underlayment, shingles, flashing, cleanup, warranty. The scope barely changes and the terms never do. What changes is the address, the squares, and the price.
So write it once. Save your standard job as a template in SendProposalsFast, with your real line items and your real terms. Saving templates is on the Pro plan. It takes about 20 minutes, and it's the last time you type that proposal.
Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your account
In Claude or ChatGPT, add SendProposalsFast as a connector and sign in. That's about 2 minutes, and you only do it once. From then on the AI can read your templates and write drafts on your account. It can't send anything. Sending stays yours.
Ask for all ten at once
Now hand over the week's notes in one message. Something like: “Write proposals from my standard roofing template for these jobs. Henderson, 412 Maple, 30 squares, full tear-off. Alvarez, 88 Oak Court, 24 squares, overlay. Kowalski, 15 Birch, 36 squares, tear-off plus new flashing.” And so on, down the list.
It writes all ten, and they land in your dashboard as drafts. Drafts cost nothing, so ask for as many as you have notes for.
Check each one and send it
This part is still your job, and it's the whole job now. Open each draft and read it the way you'd read an estimate someone in your office wrote up. Fix anything that's off, then hit send. Nothing reaches a homeowner until you do.
Ten proposals at about 3 minutes each to check. Call it half an hour, and the week's quoting is done.
What it costs
$1 for each proposal the AI wrote, charged when you send it, on one bill at the end of the month. The ten you just sent are $10, against the 4 hours of typing they replaced. Drafts are free, your first 3 sends are free on any account, and proposals you type yourself are never charged per send.
