Free Roof Report for Contractors
Review an imagery-based estimate of roof area, pitch, and sections before preparing a proposal. Confirm the subject building and dimensions on site before a final bid or material order.

Why accurate roof measurements matter
Roof-area, pitch, and section assumptions affect material planning and the final price. Review the available report fields, then verify the subject building and dimensions on site.
From property information to a proposal
Check the building and measurements, review the written scope, and prepare a proposal for your customer. View a sample proposal or compare the Free and Pro plans.
Available report fields
- Total roof area: Combined square footage of all roof surfaces
- Section breakdown: Individual measurements for each roof facet
- Pitch data: Slope measurements to calculate material waste factors
- Orientation: Compass direction for each section (useful for solar)
- Imagery date: Source date when the report supplies one
Pro tip: Always verify on-site
Imagery-based estimates can support early scoping. Verify the subject building, dimensions, and field conditions on site before final pricing or material orders.
What to Verify Before Using a Roof Report
Use satellite measurements for early scoping and material planning, then verify dimensions on site before placing an order or issuing a final quote.
Review every roof plane, obstruction, pitch assumption, and waste factor. Trees, image age, and complex geometry can affect the result.
Keep the report with the job record and document any field corrections so the final estimate reflects the property you actually inspected.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are these measurements?
Accuracy varies with imagery age, building selection, trees, and roof complexity. This is a planning estimate, not a certified takeoff. Verify dimensions on site before a final bid or material order.
What addresses are covered?
Coverage varies by address and available source data. A request may return limited or no usable roof information.
How recent is the satellite imagery?
Imagery availability and dates vary by address. If a report includes an imagery date, review it and verify whether property changes may be newer than the source image.
Can I use this for my estimates?
Use available results for early planning only. Verify the subject building, dimensions, and field conditions before final pricing or material orders.
