What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technology Fee is currently $345 per month. For franchisees who own up to 4 contiguous territories, the total Technology Fee is equivalent to the fee for one territory, which is the same $345 per month.
The Technology Fee covers two licenses to Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange email addresses, a local instant quoting tool, a local roof visualizer tool, and microsite hosting fees. If a Bumble Roofing franchisee requires additional licenses beyond the two included, they must pay the then-current per-license monthly fee to Bumble Roofing or its designated third-party supplier.
It's important to note that Bumble Roofing may increase the Technology Fee with 30 days' notice to franchisees. This fee is paid on the same schedule as the Royalty Fee. Prospective franchisees should factor in the potential for fee increases when assessing the overall cost of operating a Bumble Roofing franchise.
