For roofing and exterior trades
Built for the trades. Ready for the job.
Photos, quotes, jobs and invoices in one place, so the crew on the roof and the office behind them are working from the same page.
Now taking pilot companies in West Michigan and beyond.
Illustration only
The problem
Jobs in one tool. Money in another. Photos in someone's camera roll.
Scattered job records
Photos, documents and notes end up wherever they were taken, not on the job they belong to.
Typing it twice
A quote becomes a job becomes an invoice, and each step means re-entering the same details.
Spotty signal
Roofs, basements and back roads don't have great coverage, and software that needs a connection gets in the way.
How it works
From first photo to paid invoice.
Capture on site
Take photos and attach documents right from the phone, straight onto the job.
Quote and schedule
Build the estimate from the job, send it, and put the work on the calendar.
Invoice and get paid
Turn the approved job into an invoice. QuickBooks Online stays your books.
Works where you work
Built for jobsites, not just offices.
We're designing Kestrel around the reality that signal comes and goes. We're testing this on real devices with pilot crews before we call it done.
- Photos are held on the phone until they can upload
- Nothing is lost if the connection drops mid-upload
- Every photo ends up on the right job
Back in range. Uploading to Miller – Tear-off & re-roof.
Why Kestrel
Precise, capable and easy to pick up.
Trades-first
Designed around how roofing and exterior crews actually work, found by watching real jobs, not by copying a feature list.
Your books stay your books
QuickBooks Online remains the system of record. Kestrel hands off to it instead of competing with it.
Your history stays readable
If you move over, we plan to keep your past jobs, photos and documents available to look up.
A person, not a ticket queue
Kestrel is built by Birds of a Feather Developers in West Michigan. You talk to the person who builds it.
Switching
Using JobNimbus today?
Moving systems is the part everyone dreads. We're working out exactly what can be brought across from JobNimbus, and we won't promise a full migration until we've tested it against a real account. Pilot companies shape that work.
Questions roofers ask
Who is Kestrel CRM for?
Roofing and exterior trades companies that want jobs, photos, quotes and invoices in one place instead of spread across several tools.
Is it ready to use today?
Not yet. Kestrel is being built with a small group of pilot companies. Request early access and we'll tell you honestly where it stands and whether it fits your shop.
Does it work with QuickBooks Online?
QuickBooks Online is the planned system of record for your books. Kestrel is designed to hand invoices off to it rather than replace it.
Can I move over from JobNimbus?
That's a goal, and we're working out exactly what can be brought across. We won't promise a full migration until we've tested it against a real account. Tell us what you rely on most.
Will it work when I have no cell signal?
Capturing photos on the job with poor signal is a core design goal: the phone holds them and uploads when the connection returns. We're testing this on real devices with pilot crews.
Who builds Kestrel CRM?
Birds of a Feather Developers in West Michigan. You work directly with the person who builds it.
Want to be a pilot company?
Tell us about your shop. We'll follow up to see whether Kestrel is a good fit. Pilot pricing is shared in that conversation.
