Roofing Job Manager is for small roofing crews and one-person shops that want order without paying every month. Track customers, manage jobs, make clean estimates, plan tasks, and send invoices, all in one small Windows app. Check the hour-by-hour weather before sending your crew. Add up parts and labor. Keep notes on every job you've done.
Windows may briefly show a SmartScreen notice the first time you run
RoofingJobManager-Setup-1.0.0.exe.
That's normal. Microsoft displays it for any installer with a young reputation, even when properly signed.
To proceed: click More info, then Run anyway.
The installer is digitally signed by LaunchWizard, LLC, the legal entity behind AppKatz Software. You can verify the signature in the file's Properties → Digital Signatures tab before running it.
