# Proposals

> Turn a roof report into a ready-to-sign proposal for the homeowner.

A proposal takes the measurements from a report, applies your pricing, and produces a document the homeowner can sign. Proposals are included at no additional cost on top of the report.

## Requesting a proposal with the report

When you submit a measurement request, choose **Roof report and ready-to-sign proposal** instead of **Detailed roof report**. Two fields matter more when you do:

* **Homeowner information** — first name, last name, phone, and email. These appear on the proposal and are used to send it for signature.
* **Roof information for proposal** — material, layers, and anything else that affects your price.

<Tip>
  If you only asked for measurements and later decide you want a proposal, you don't need to resubmit the address. Work from the existing report.
</Tip>

## Line items and pricing

Proposals are built from your own line items and pricing rather than a generic rate, so the number the homeowner sees is yours. Configure these once in your settings and they carry across proposals.

Where a report contains estimated quantities — overhang being the common case — the corresponding line item inherits that uncertainty. Review those before sending.

## Sending for signature

Once a proposal looks right, send it to the homeowner for signature. You'll see its state change as the homeowner views and signs it, so you know where each proposal stands without following up blind.

## Revisions

If a measurement changes after a revision to the underlying report, revisit the proposal — pricing built on the previous numbers won't update on its own if you've already customized it.
