How to read a roof measurement report

Every term on the report, and where to find it. Each one opens the sample at that measurement.

Roof area, pitch and roofing squares

Roof area
The net, sloped surface of the roof after obstructions are deducted: 7,923 SF on this sample. The footprint area (6,592 SF) is the roof seen from directly above; the slope multiplier (×1.2019) turns one into the other. Show on the report
Roofing squares
One roofing square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Roofers price and order in squares: this roof is 79.2 squares net and 85.6 squares with 8% waste. Show on the report
Pitch
Steepness written as rise over a 12-inch run, so 8:12 means the roof rises 8 inches for every 12 inches across (33.7°). The report prints the predominant pitch and a table of area at each pitch. Show on the report

Eaves, rakes, ridges, hips and valleys

Eaves
The horizontal bottom edges of the roof, along the gutter line. Eave length sizes the drip edge, starter strip, ice & water shield and gutters. Show on the report
Rakes
The sloped edges of a gable end. Rakes get drip edge but no gutter. Show on the report
Ridges
The horizontal peaks where two roof planes meet at the top. Ridges and hips together size the ridge cap. Show on the report
Hips
The sloped outside corners where two roof planes meet, running from the ridge down to a corner of the eave. Show on the report
Valleys
The inside corners where two roof planes meet and water runs down. Valley length sizes the valley flashing. Show on the report

Waste factors and material quantities

Waste factor
The percentage added for cuts and offcuts. The report applies one factor (8% here) and shows the area at 5, 10, 15 and 20% too. Change it in the report viewer and every quantity updates. Show on the report
Material take-off
The list of material quantities calculated from the measurements and the waste factor: shingle bundles, underlayment, ice & water shield, ridge cap, starter strip, drip edge and flashing. Review it before you order. Show on the report

Every term is also defined in the roof measurement glossary.

From roof measurements to a roofing proposal

What contractors use the report for, and how it becomes a proposal in Roof Manager.

Review the roof geometry

Check the pitch, the planes and every edge before you visit, and see where the valleys and hips run.

Prepare a roofing estimate

Price from the squares, the pitch and the waste table.

Build a proposal

Build from Report starts a proposal from the material take-off, priced with your own price sheet.

Calculate material quantities

Plan the job

Know the roof’s size and complexity before you schedule the crew.

Keep it with the job

The report stays on the property’s job record in Roof Manager, beside the proposal, the invoice and the customer.

How accurate are aerial roof measurements?

98.5%accuracy on high-quality aerial imagery, against an on-roof tape measure

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.

Every report prints the same note: measurements are taken from aerial imagery, and physical verification is recommended for code-critical work. See it on page 5

What happens when imagery is not good enough?

  • Roof Manager does not guess at roof edges the imagery cannot show. Our team declines the order instead.
  • You get an email saying we are unable to complete the report.
  • The report credit goes back to your account for another order. A report bought on its own comes back as account credit, not a cash refund.
  • Before a report is delivered you can add your own drone photos to the order.

Can I see a roof measurement report example before ordering?

Yes. This page is a complete Roof Manager report, with the property’s address, location and account details removed. Explore it page by page above, or download the same report as a PDF.

Can I download the sample roof report as a PDF?

Yes. Download the sample PDF: 5 pages, about 4 MB. It is rendered from the same sanitized report shown on this page.

Does a roof measurement report include pitch?

Yes. It prints the predominant pitch as a ratio and in degrees (8:12, 33.7° on this sample), the slope multiplier, and a table of how much roof area sits at each pitch.

Does the report include eaves, rakes, ridges, hips and valleys?

Yes. Page 1 totals each in linear feet with its order quantity at the waste factor, and page 3 is a plan-view diagram with every edge labelled with its length, totalled by roof level in the drawing key.

Does it include roofing squares?

Yes. One roofing square is 100 square feet. The sample is 79.2 squares net and 85.6 squares with 8% waste, printed on pages 1, 2 and 5.

Does it include a waste factor?

Yes. One waste factor is applied to the report (8% on the sample) and the waste table shows the area and squares at 5, 8, 10, 15 and 20%. You can change the factor in the report viewer and every quantity updates.

Does it include material quantities?

Yes. The material summary on page 5 lists field shingle bundles with and without waste, underlayment, ice & water shield, ridge cap, starter strip, drip edge for eaves and rakes, valley flashing and overhang offset flashing, each with the measurement it was calculated from, plus gutter length from the eave perimeter. Review the quantities before you order materials.

How accurate are Roof Manager roof 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.

Does someone need to climb the roof?

Not to measure it: the roof is traced on aerial imagery. You will still want a site visit to inspect the roof’s condition, the decking and anything the imagery cannot show.

What happens if aerial imagery is poor?

We do not guess at roof edges the imagery cannot show: our team declines the order instead. You get an email saying we are unable to complete the report, and the report credit goes back to your account for another order. A report bought on its own comes back as account credit, not a cash refund.

Can I use the measurements to create a roofing proposal?

Yes. Build from Report starts a proposal from the report’s material take-off, priced with your own price sheet, in the roofing CRM that comes with every account. Review the lines, then send it for an online signature.

How much does a Roof Manager report cost?

Your first 2 reports are free, with no credit card. After that a report is $10 CAD (≈ $7 USD), or $199 CAD a month covers up to 30 reports. See all pricing.

How long does a report take?

Reports are delivered in 1–3 hours, and usually in under an hour. Every report is traced and reviewed by our team, so a complex roof, unclear imagery or a busy queue can take longer.

Where are reports available?

Available across the U.S., Canada and additional supported regions, subject to imagery availability. See coverage by country.

What is the difference between this report and Instant Estimator?

This report is a measured report you order for one property: areas, pitch, every edge length, diagrams and a material take-off. Instant Estimator is a separate add-on for your website: a homeowner pins their roof and sees a price range built from your rates. It does not produce a measurement report.
