What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase project management and subcontractor communication software from a designated supplier. The current cost for this software is $80 per month. This is in addition to other technology-related expenses.
Bumble Roofing also requires franchisees to purchase QuickBooks Online at a cost of $74.50 per month and to use a quoting software designated by them. Franchisees must also obtain voice-over-IP telephone service at $42 per month and customer relationship management (CRM) software at $206 per month. There are optional services, such as Drone AI imaging software for $440 per month and a call answering service ranging from $395 to $415 per month.
These technology costs are in addition to a monthly Technology Fee of $345 for access to Bumble Roofing's designated technology package and 4 Microsoft Exchange email addresses. Franchisees are also responsible for the costs of computer hardware and software, including updates and upgrades, which Bumble Roofing estimates will range from $0 to $500 per year. These technology requirements and associated costs are important considerations for prospective franchisees as they evaluate the overall investment and operational expenses of a Bumble Roofing franchise.
