For homeowners
Understand your home before you plan the work.
Start with the question you need answered. Use available property records and imagery-based estimates to prepare a budget, compare scope, and ask better questions.
Choose a property question
How big is my roof?
Get an imagery-based estimate of roof area and available pitch information. Confirm the building and measurements before ordering materials.
Open the free roof toolWhat is my home’s recorded square footage?
Look up living area where a property record is available. The result can differ from floor measurements or listing information.
Check recorded living areaHow large is my lot?
Check recorded lot area where coverage is available. Lot area does not identify legal boundaries or replace a survey.
Check recorded lot sizeWhen was my house built?
Check recorded year built and the latest sale where available. For the original builder, use the page’s local-records research checklist.
Explore my home’s recordsHow do I compare roof quotes?
Compare scope, waste, tear-off, decking, flashing, permits, and warranty. An online range is a planning reference, not a contractor’s bid.
Review quote scopeCould solar fit on my roof?
Explore available roof and solar estimates. A local installer must confirm shading, equipment, and site conditions.

Some tools show a preview first; others ask for an email to deliver the result and PDF. The form explains what you will receive. Coverage varies by address, and missing data is shown as unavailable.
Some completed tools offer an optional $9.99 report. Review the available contents and price before paying. A free lookup does not require a contractor software subscription.

Property estimates are not inspections, legal boundary surveys, or insurance determinations. Verify details with the relevant professional before a contract, claim, or material order.
Working on a customer’s property?
Choose Contractor in the roof tool, review the measurement, and use the workspace path in your report email to continue. Preview a customer proposal or explore contractor software.
