Step 01
Start your project
Enter the basic homeowner, property, and project information so BYOR can prepare the job for qualified roof installers.
How it works
How BYOR Works
BYOR helps homeowners organize roof projects and connect with participating insured independent roofing contractors. BYOR is not the contractor of record, roofer, adjuster, insurer, public adjuster, engineer, manufacturer, or warranty provider.
1
Create your project
Start with the address, homeowner details, and a few basics so BYOR can connect the job with roof installers.
2
Upload your adjuster's report
Add claim paperwork, roof reports, photos, estimates, and other files so the details stay together.
3
Connect with roof installers
Review installer pricing, messages, documents, and project status from one organized homeowner workspace. Roofing work is performed by independent contractors, not by BYOR.
Step 02
Upload your claim or roof documents
Add insurance paperwork, roof reports, photos, estimates, and other project files. Uploading once keeps the project from getting scattered across texts and email.
Step 03
Verify the roof details
BYOR helps organize measurements such as squares, roof area, pitch, waste, and other details when they are available in the uploaded documents.
Step 04
Compare roof installer pricing
Review installer pricing in a more structured way. Participating contractors must submit proof of active insurance before approval and keep insurance documents current.
Step 05
Message and choose an installer
Ask questions, compare options, and choose the roof installer or subcontractor you want to work with when the project is ready.
Step 06
Manage the project
Keep documents, messages, pricing, contract details, and job status organized in one homeowner workspace.
Step 07
Stay in control
BYOR is built around the homeowner acting as their own general contractor, which may help reduce unnecessary markup and keep more money in the project.

BYOR helps connect the project.
The homeowner is choosing to manage the project as their own general contractor. BYOR helps connect that homeowner with independent roof installers and subcontractors while organizing project information, documents, pricing, and communication. Contractors are responsible for their work, licenses, permits, insurance, safety practices, employees, subcontractors, warranties, and compliance with applicable law.
