Roofing Crew Scheduling App: Build It with AI
A roofing crew scheduling app has to line up a crew, a material drop, a dumpster and sometimes a permit on the same day, and then move all of it when rain is forecast. Describe your crews and jobs to Mythex and it builds the schedule, with crew logins and a rain-day button.
Who it's for
Roofing owners and production managers who plan crews on a whiteboard, text the foremen every night, and lose a morning each time the weather turns.
What you can build
- Crews with skills: shingle, metal, tile, flat
- Jobs with start date, crew, material drop and dumpster date
- Permits and inspections tracked against each start
- A rain-day action that shifts jobs to the next dry day
- Foremen seeing their week and job notes on a phone
- Hours per crew member for payroll
Schedule the job, not just the people
A roofing day fails if any piece is missing. Each job should carry the crew, the day materials arrive, when the dumpster is dropped and picked up, permit status and any inspection date. Ask for a warning when a job is scheduled but materials or the permit are not confirmed. Crews are matched by skill, so a flat-roof job only goes to a crew that does flat roofs.

- Material and dumpster dates
- Permit and inspection status
Rain days without chaos
Mark a day as rain and its jobs move to the next free day, keeping the queue in order so the homeowner who waited longest still goes first. Deliveries and dumpsters move with them. Build in a weather buffer when you give homeowners a start date, and tell them early when a forecast changes the plan; delays are accepted when communicated.
What foremen see
Each foreman signs in and sees the week's jobs with address, roof type, material list, access notes, the homeowner's contact and photos from the inspection. Crews can upload progress photos from the roof, which also go to the homeowner's portal if you build one.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not book materials for the same morning as the crew; deliver the day before. Do not let rain shuffles reorder the queue by accident. And log the reason when a job moves, so at the end of the season you can see how many days weather actually cost.
A prompt to start from
Build a crew scheduling app for my roofing company. I have four crews, each with skills (shingle, metal, flat). Jobs have address, roof type, start date, estimated days, assigned crew, material delivery date, dumpster drop and pickup dates, and permit status. Warn me if materials or permit are not confirmed. A rain-day button moves that day's jobs to the next free day in order. Foremen log in to see their week on a phone and upload photos.
Questions
Can the schedule move jobs when it rains?
Yes. Mark a day as rain and its jobs shift to the next free day in order. Texting homeowners automatically needs a messaging provider you connect.
Can foremen see the schedule on their phones?
Yes. The published app works in any phone browser. On Pro, Mythex can also make Android and iPhone apps that open your published app.
Can it track permits?
Yes. Each job can hold permit number, status and inspection date, with a warning if a start date comes before the permit is approved.
Can it total crew hours?
Yes. Ask for hours per person per week from clock-in or job days, exported as CSV for payroll.
How much does it cost?
The Free plan needs no card and gives daily credits to build and publish. Pro is $25/month and adds a custom domain, code editing, export and GitHub.
