How does Roof Manager create a roof measurement report?
You enter the property address and place the pin on the roof. Our team opens the available aerial imagery and a person traces the roof outline, ridges, hips and valleys and sets the pitch. The measurement engine calculates the areas, edge lengths, waste and material quantities from that trace, a second person reviews the report, and it is released to your dashboard and email as a PDF.
Does someone physically measure the roof?
No. The report is measured from aerial and satellite imagery, so nobody climbs the roof. Physical verification is still recommended for code-critical work; a measurement from imagery is not an inspection.
Does Roof Manager use AI to trace roofs?
No. A member of our team traces every roof on aerial imagery and the software does the calculations. Automated checks can hold back a report whose numbers do not add up, but they do not draw the roof.
What imagery does Roof Manager use?
Aerial and satellite imagery from mapping providers: our team picks the clearest view available for the property when they open the order. If that imagery is blurry, shadowed or out of date, you can attach your own straight-down drone photos on the order form and our team measures from those.
What happens if the imagery is poor?
The report is declined rather than guessed. You receive an email saying we are unable to complete the report, and the report credit is returned to your account; a one-off purchase comes back as a report credit.
How long does a roof measurement report take?
Reports are delivered in 1–3 hours, and usually in under an hour. Imagery availability, roof complexity and the review queue affect the time; there is no fixed delivery time.
How accurate are the measurements?
On properties with high-quality imagery, Roof Manager measurements can achieve 98.5% accuracy against an on-roof tape measure. Measurement accuracy depends on the quality and visibility of the available satellite/aerial imagery. Trees, shadows, low-resolution imagery and hidden roof edges can reduce accuracy. Physical verification is recommended for code-critical work.
What measurements are included in the report?
Total roof area in square feet and roofing squares, the predominant pitch, the number of roof planes, the length of every eave, rake, ridge, hip and valley, the roof outline over the aerial image, plan-view diagrams with every edge length and section area, a waste-factor table and the calculated material quantities (shingles, underlayment, ice and water shield, ridge cap, starter, drip edge, flashing).
Do I receive a PDF?
Yes. The report is a PDF you download from your dashboard, and you get an email the moment it is released.
Can I see a sample report?
Yes. The complete Roof Manager sample report, with the property’s address and location removed, is at /sample-report, and the same 5-page report downloads as a PDF there.
How much does a roof measurement report cost?
Your first 2 reports are free, with no credit card. After that a report is $10 CAD, or $199 CAD a month covers up to 30 reports. The CRM, proposals, invoicing and scheduling come with every account.
Can I build a proposal from the report?
Yes. When the report is ready, Build from Report fills the proposal lines with the quantities from the material take-off and prices them from your own saved price sheet. Materials you have not priced come through at $0, flagged, for you to fill in.
Does Roof Manager create the customer and job automatically?
A lead that arrives with a phone number or email is saved as a customer automatically. Ordering a report does not create a customer: the report sits on the job record for its property address, and attaching it to a customer is optional.
How does the Google Calendar connection work?
One way. Jobs and appointments you schedule in Roof Manager are created and updated on your Google Calendar, and your existing Google events are displayed in Roof Manager read-only. Changes made in Google do not update the Roof Manager job.
How do Square payments work?
The invoice or proposal carries a Square Pay Now link when your Square account is connected, for the full amount or a deposit. The homeowner pays on Square’s checkout and the money goes to your own Square account. Roof Manager does not mark the invoice Paid for you; you mark it Paid when the payment arrives.
Where are roof measurement reports available?
Available across the U.S., Canada and additional supported regions, subject to imagery availability. See coverage by country.
Can I just use the report without the CRM?
Yes. Order the report, download the PDF and price the job however you do today. The job record, proposals, scheduling and invoicing are there when you want them, and they come with every account at no extra cost.
