### "The best estimating and project management tool for me."

December 9, 2025

5.0

I have been using The EDGE since \[sensitive content hidden\] first started it, back in the 70's. I used it at my two companies, later introduced to two other companies where I worked after I sold my company. I've since retired and came back and have now introduced it to the two new companies that I work with. \[sensitive content hidden\] has always been there for me and very helpful. The support team has always been available and very helpful. The EDGE has provided me with as accurate an estimate that one could produce, and also provides the means to purchase and manage a project with materials and labor, as long as the user takes the time to dial in his database and insert the correct information. Once that's done, it's a mandatory tool where I work.

Pros

It's thorough, adaptable, and can give me what I need. I've used the EDGE ever since \[sensitive content hidden\] started it. The support team is always there and always helpfull. \[sensitive content hidden\] has always been very supportive throughout the years.

Cons

The snap to box is too small and hard to see on some plans. It would be nice if this was adjustable.

### "Best Commercial Roof Estimating Software "

March 6, 2026

5.0

We love the software. For commercial roofing, it is far superior when compared to others, such as PlanSwift, Sage Estimating, Procore Estimating, or Excel spreadsheets.

Pros

I love how we can build out standard roofing systems very quickly within the built-in conditions. It makes the complexity of commercial roofing feel very simple.

Cons

If you are entering quantities instead of doing a takeoff on a blueprint, the process is not nearly as fast as it would be on an Excel spreadsheet.

Alternatives considered

[Procore Estimating](https://www.capterra.com/p/157661/Esticom/)

Reason for choosing The EDGE

Procore is not built very well to handle any more than residential roofing quotes

Switched from

[PlanSwift](https://www.capterra.com/p/70808/PlanSwift/)[Sage Estimating](https://www.capterra.com/p/154873/Sage-Estimating/)

None of the others could handle the complexities of commercial roofing assemblies as well as the edge could.

July 25, 2025

5.0

The software is solid and well thought out. The database that comes with it is robust and has multiple manufacturers included from day one. The technical support is second to no one and user requests are answered and implemented when appropriate.

Pros

### "Overall Program is very good."

November 12, 2025

5.0

Overall, the program is very good. I know there are move features that I can utilize but I don't have the time to learn and use them.

Pros

The ease of use once familiar with the program. Thought it took some time to learn. And I am still learning as I go.

Cons

Longish learning curve to learn the nuances of the program. The time it takes to learn new facets of the program.

Pros

The EDGE makes takeoffs fast, accurate, and easy to manage. Its intuitive layout, powerful tools, and reliable performance greatly streamline my estimating workflow.

### "Honest Opinion "

May 19, 2025

5.0

The software is top notch and very customizable. They are always working on ways to update and make it better.

Pros

I enjoy the ability to be free of paper. All the estimates are in one place and the reports you are able to print give me all the information I need

Cons

The fact that Firestone had been called Elevate for two years and an update wasn't pushed out to change the names. Makes doing work for Elevate and having to change names times consuming

April 22, 2025

5.0

Overall, highly satisfied. Customer service is always exceptional when needed and conditions are user friendly.

Pros

Cons

27yrs of use and it is the only product that I would recommend. I have looked at other systems and they don't measure up.

Pros

January 13, 2025

5.0

My experience has been great. Technical helps me resolve issues, which I seem to generate on my own. \[sensitive content hidden\] recently did a great job with onsite training for all of our estimators.

Pros

The Edge is a very powerful program allowing a user to get all the variables of a bid put into one place to produce quality estimates. The technical help department is outstanding as well.

Cons

Apply equipment from General Conditions could use some tweaking to better understand actual unit costs specifically as it relates to the waterproofing database.

### "Great for fireproofing"

April 29, 2025

5.0

Easy to use. Great for fireproofing, and for regular take offs of areas and objects. Very self-explanatory.

Pros

What I like the most is being able to do fireproofing take offs. Also square feet, linear feet, quantities, etc.

Cons

What I don't like is UL thicknesses not always accurate. Also, many simple things that can definitely be improved when uploading drawings.

### "Valuable Investment"

January 8, 2026

5.0

Edge is unmatched in terms of capability and detail for roof estimation. Once time is invested in learning how to navigate the various tools, it can be incredibly productive.

Pros

I appreciate the degree of detail that a roof project can be customized to. There is a deep library of options and behind-the-scenes tools to master estimates and generate proposals.

Cons

Tools/functions are complex and challenging to navigate as a new user. All require external instructions and training, which can slow you down initially.

### "Tough to learn but once its set up its a smooth system"

April 10, 2017

3.0

I am in my late twenty's and nowhere near a computer genius but also not computer illiterate and my experience with this system was it is super confusing to set up and learn but once the program is set up to how you usually take off projects it works nicely. This is not an out of the box system at all. If you are making a complete change from paper take off's and excel sheets like my company was it will take weeks and months to get this to work how you want. We have taken two trips, 1 week each, to their headquarters to have our database's set up along with countless hours and minutes of phone calls to their tech department. The owner who bought the program said that we should be able to figure out most of the database setup in house. I can tell you after going to in house training twice there is absolutely no way I would have known how to set this up. After 1 1/2 years of using the system I still find it confusing at times when you aren't doing simple jobs. We mainly use EDGE for Acoustical Ceiling take off's. That also seemed like the easiest to get set up. 99% of the time this works perfectly but there are some jobs that just doesn't seem to calculate right, in particular long hall ways and curves. We most recently had our databases set up for Fireproofing, EIFS, and DEFS. I have to say once the fireproofing is set up it is a complete life saver. The way the old estimator here would do fireproofing take off's was very mistake filled because the hundreds of factors to take into account i.e UL Codes, thicknesses, member sizes, etc. DEFS also works quite nicely but that is a fairly simple take off, square footage with your materials and labor associated with that square footage. We are still working a few bugs out of our EIFS take off's. They aren't quite where we want them on the labor side so I am constantly checking them with our existing excel formulas we have used for years. The people that work for the EDGE, in particular the training and tech support, are always more than willing to help out and are always friendly. My biggest gripe with the system is the difficulty of getting set up initially and also when you come across something unique getting it to work in the program. Once the leg work is done to get the system set up like you like the program really does run smooth. In the long run it is a giant time saver. For example a 50k sqft ACT job that used to take a whole day to take off on paper literally takes minutes.

Pros

The time saving aspects of the quantity take off's

Cons

The initial set up time

### "The Edge Software = More time and more money"

April 7, 2017

5.0

I've been using the Edge Estimating Software program since 2005 and have been happier as a commercial roofing and waterproofing estimator ever since. The ease of use ing the Edge estimating software program is very easy to use - a 10 as a perfect score; however, you do need to go to Florida for a week of training, which I highly recommend so you can learn all the features and how to use them correctly. The features and functionality of their estimating software program allow you to bid much quicker and efficiently - a score of 10. What used to take me 10 hours to perform a complete take-off, with labor and material totals, now only takes 30 to 45 minutes. This allows me more time to bid more projects and help make the company more money in the process. The value of the estimating system pays off for itself with the first job you sell! Plus, knowing the Edge system has all the templates for almost any type of commercial roofing system and manufacturer helps to make sure there are no mistakes and nothing is left out on your bid. The days of having to look at 36" x 42" blue lines is over. You simply download a pdf on your screen, set the scale correctly, and you are ready to perform your entire take-off. I use the Edge reports to give our foreman and superintendent the labor and material take-off's which shows them if they are going over the budget and helps them to get back on track if necessary. I sometimes make colored prints of the roof plan showing the complete take-off with the associated legend to help the client better understand what is involved in their re-roof project or new roof project. I can continue to go and on about the benefits of using the Edge system, but just know that the value of the Edge will give you peace of mind and help save the company thousands of dollars in preventing material shortages, due to estimator errors(the old fashion way) as well as how much labor dollars you will spend in manhours and crewdays you will need for each job....I cannot put a dollar amount for this value because it is priceless and worth every penny spent on the Edge Estimating software program. The customer support has been very beneficial over the years and continues to be so. If I ever have a problem or need to ask a question, I simply call the Edge and talk to a technical representative and in less than 5 minutes, I'm a happy customer all over again. The overall quality rating of the Edge system is a 10!

Pros

How nothing is missed on a typical take-off. All the labor and materials are completely figured for you while performing each command.

Cons

N.A.....everything is great!

### "Edge 12 - It's getting there"

July 17, 2019

3.0

In a nutshell, we are enjoying The Edge 12. But like my "Cons" list and my review title suggests - It's getting there (slowly). Right now, we're about at a 70-75% satisfaction rate for Edge 12. There is still a lot of work to be done to return to the quality of ease provided by Edge 10, and I don't doubt that it will eventually get to where we're 100% satisfied.

Pros

The Estimating Edge is one of the best (if not the very best) estimating software programs available on the market. It is easy to use, and the upgrades they made to the Edge 12 (compared to Edge 10) have sped up the estimating process (overall). Streamlined and accurate, we trust The Edge (and their customer service team) to provide us with everything we need.

Cons

Still very buggy and glitchy. The Edge 12.6 had fixed many of the issues that were prevalent since Edge 12 was first released; however, there are still glitches. Blurry drawings, slow response/lag time on mouse clicks, etc. But least favorable was the fact that they took away most of the aspects of Edge 10 that made it SUPER user-friendly, and it's not nearly as user-friendly as Edge 10. Their claim of "Less Clicks" for Edge 12 has proven to be inaccurate, as we often spend more time clicking through pages than we did when we had Edge 10.

### "Edge Review"

July 15, 2019

5.0

We use the EDGE as our primary estimating tool for typical Re-Roofs, New Construction Roofs, as well as wall panels. We began using the edge years ago using the digitizing boards to now using Version 12 with the cloud based system and image manager. There have been several changes within the last 10 yrs and I am pleased to say your help and customer support has been great. I am looking forward to integrating our company into the newest Version 12.

Pros

The software makes bidding and adjusting new/existing projects easy and consistent. Setting up the software to our company's specific job codes is also crucial for our estimating and cost tracking process.

Cons

on the current Version 12 I am having difficulties adding images to an existing condition/bid. The ease of use seems harder than the pervious Version 10. I would like to alter our overhead costs by entering a numerical number in lieu of consistently adjusting the percentages to match the overhead I want on a given project.

Reason for choosing The EDGE

We purchased the Edge as our first computerized estimating software and have had no reason to look elsewhere as the Software has continually changed and updated with the times and the software costs seem consistent with industry standards.

### "Version 12 Review"

July 10, 2019

3.0

Love the idea and how it calculates but disappointed with how many issues the New version 12 has. I understand New software needs testing to fix any bugs and issues but testing this software with my business is not appreciated. I hope to hold more trust in the edge software in the future but for now i am hesitant and require extra time to assess any bids before submitting. \*In future versions and updates I would love to see a module to allow you to view your take off in 3 dimensional views especially when constructing tapered insulation packages. being able to see each bored in a tapered layout would allow more exact tapered estimates.

Pros

Very detailed and easy to use format. Love the Tapered module.

Cons

Version 12 has many issues. Very glitchy, and concerning when it comes to producing bids. A mistake made by the Edge can be lethal to our business. Had such errors with our tax amount disappearing and leaving our bids without tax included. Fastener count being all over the place jacking up the bid price. The recap screen does not refresh right away after changes are made. Also aesthetic nuisances such as similar items not merging together. I don't like the new visual format of the new edge. Very Cold and bland. The off and On buttons are confusing looks like everything is off. Dull colors. looking at numbers is tiring I need stimulation with more color.
