Getting started

From an address to a finished job file

SkyCanvass turns one address lookup into the documents a restoration job needs — storm history, building-code packets, photo packets, and roof measurements — with the customer record, crew photos, and signatures living in the same workspace. Here is exactly how to start.

First session

Four steps to your first deliverable

No onboarding call required. Looking up an address costs nothing, and your first storm report is on us.

  1. Create your free account

    Sign up with email and password — no credit card, no trial clock. Property lookups, state code access, and the hail map are free, and storm reports are $10 each — $6 each when you commit to a 20-report pack. Pay as you go, no subscription required.

  2. Add a property owner

    Open the CRM workspace, create a customer, and enter the address of a roof you're working. The Property tab holds parcel context, jurisdiction codes, storm-history signals, and special-zone flags — plus in-place ordering for storm reports.

  3. Order your first report

    From the customer's Property tab, generate a storm report for $10 — no subscription required. Reports render as finished, QR-verified PDFs in seconds, ready to attach to the job file or hand to the property owner.

  4. Put the crew on photos

    Create a customer record, mint a QR work-order link, and print or text it to the crew. Every installer who scans it can upload photos straight to that customer's page — nobody needs an account, and the link expires when you say so.

CRM workspace

Free to start

Add a property owner, open their Property tab, and order storm reports in place — parcel context, jurisdiction codes, and deliverables without leaving the job record. Lookups and your first storm report stay free.

Open workspace

Storm reports

$10 / report

Forensic storm-history PDFs for any address — NEXRAD radar, MESH hail overlay, NWS narratives, and corroborating reports. $10 per report, pay as you go — $6 each when you commit to a 20-report pack. No subscription required.

How storm reports work

QR work-order photo capture

No installer accounts

Mint a QR code for a job and hand it to the crew. Installers scan it and their photos land straight on the customer page — no app store account, no login, no texting photos to the office. Links expire on your schedule and can be revoked anytime.

Photo packets & capture

E-signatures built in

Send proposals and contracts for signature from the same workspace that produced them, and capture signatures on-screen in person. Signed documents are stored on the customer record — no separate e-sign subscription.

Roof measurement reports

Coming soon

On-demand roof geometry for any address — area, facets, ridges, valleys, hips, eaves, and rakes, human-reviewed before delivery. In final validation now and coming soon.

What's coming

JobNimbus migration

Switching CRMs shouldn't mean starting from an empty contact list. The migration importer brings your JobNimbus contacts and job history across so day one starts with your book of business intact.

Security & data practices

Where SkyCanvass stops

SkyCanvass produces code packets, storm history, and photo packets today, with measurement reports coming soon. It does not generate estimates, and it is not a coverage-determination tool — your own workflow handles downstream documentation. That boundary is deliberate, and it keeps every document we produce factual: weather data from NOAA sources, code citations from the adopting authority, and measurement reports that will be human-reviewed before delivery.

The math

What is your current stack costing?

Most shops arrive paying several of these at once. Tick what you pay for today and enter what each costs you — the total uses your numbers, and the tool-by-tool breakdown lives onReplace your stack.

Which of these do you pay for today — and what does each cost you per month?

Pull the numbers off your last invoices. The total uses only what you enter — we don't publish other vendors' prices.
