Roof Manager provides satellite roof measurement reports and software for Texas roofing contractors. Enter a property address and get the roof’s sloped area in squares, broken out by roof plane, the pitch of each plane and every ridge, hip, valley, eave and rake length, with a material take-off: the numbers you estimate, write the proposal and order materials from.
No credit card required · 2 free measurement reports included
A roof measurement report gives you a roof’s size without a ladder. Order one by address and Roof Manager returns the sloped area in squares by roof plane, the pitch of each plane, every edge length, a waste table and a material summary. Most reports are delivered in under 60 minutes; roofs that need a manual trace review can take up to 24 hours. The first 2 reports are free; after that a report is $10 CAD.
A roof measurement report is a measured summary of one roof: its area, its pitch and the length of every edge, laid out the way an estimate is built. Roof Manager produces it from high-resolution satellite imagery of the address you enter, so nobody climbs the roof and nothing is scheduled.
Enter the property address in your account, or order straight from a lead. The report is measured from imagery of that roof.
Pitch-corrected squares, the pitch of each roof plane and every edge length: the quantities a roofing estimate is priced from.
Estimators price from it, sales puts it behind the proposal, and project managers plan materials and crews from the same report.
Reports work for any Texas address with high-resolution satellite imagery. Heavy tree cover or shadow over a roof reduces what the imagery shows.
Every report measures the whole roof and prints the numbers an estimate needs. Open the sample report to see a complete one.
The total roof area as the pitch-corrected sloped area and as the flat footprint, with roofing squares before and after waste.
The area of every roof plane is listed on its own, so a partial replacement is priced from the planes it covers.
The predominant pitch, the pitch of each plane and an areas-per-pitch table, so steep sections and low-slope sections are priced as the different work they are.
Eave, rake, ridge, hip and valley lengths, plus a total gutter length measured from the eaves. Eaves size starter strip, eaves and rakes size drip edge, ridges and hips size ridge cap, and valleys size valley flashing.
A waste table from 5% to 20% with the suggested factor highlighted, and a material summary: field shingles, underlayment, ice and water shield, ridge cap, starter strip, drip edge and valley flashing.
The measured roof drawn over the property’s aerial image with every ridge, hip and valley, plus diagrams of the measured lengths and the area and pitch of each roof face.
Four steps take a Texas job from an address to a signed proposal. CRM, invoicing, proposals, the leads board and door-to-door canvassing are free with every account.
Enter the property address in your account, or order from a lead. How to order a report.
The report arrives as a PDF in your account and by email. Most reports are delivered in under 60 minutes; roofs that need a manual trace review can take up to 24 hours.
Your catalog and supplier prices turn the measured squares and edge lengths into a priced material list.
Send a branded proposal built from the report for the property owner to e-sign online, then schedule the crew and invoice from the same account.
See each step in detail on How it works. Leads, proposals, crews and invoices run in the Roof Manager roofing CRM, included with every account. See the whole platform →
Texas is a big place to quote roofs. A company can have leads spread across the suburbs of one metro, or in two metros in the same week. Measuring from imagery takes the drive out of the first step: an estimator prices the roof from the office, and site visits go to the jobs close to signing and the roofs that need a person on them.
A report shows the roof’s shape and size, not its condition: the imagery can predate a storm, and it cannot see decking, layers or the attic. Accuracy depends on the imagery over each roof: sharp, recent imagery and a clearly visible roof give the most reliable measurements, while tree cover, shadows and complex rooflines reduce certainty. Confirm key dimensions on site before ordering materials.
Short notes on the Texas rules that change how a roofing job is scoped, priced and contracted, taken from official sources and checked on October 1, 2026. Each note says whether a rule is statewide or local.
Statewide: Texas has no state license for roofing contractors. The Legislature’s 2025 analysis of H.B. 3344 puts it plainly: “Texas does not currently require a state-issued license for reroofing contractors.” That bill would have had the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation license reroofing contractors; it was sent to the House Calendars Committee in May 2025 and went no further.
Local: some cities run their own contractor registration. The Houston page covers the City of Houston’s voluntary roofing contractor registration. Check the city where the property is before you bid. The Texas rules on storm work paid from insurance, in the next note, apply statewide.

Statewide: a contractor may not act as a public adjuster, or advertise to adjust claims, for a property it is working on or may work on — whether or not it holds an adjuster license or a power of attorney. The Texas Department of Insurance lists language to avoid, such as offering to negotiate a settlement or file a claim for the policyholder.
A seller may not pay, waive, absorb or rebate the policyholder’s deductible without the insurer’s consent; doing so is a Class B misdemeanor. A contract of $1,000 or more that is expected to be paid from a property insurance claim must carry the statutory deductible notice in at least 12-point bold type, and an insurer with replacement cost coverage may hold back recoverable depreciation until it has proof the deductible was paid.
A measurement report gives you the quantities behind an itemized estimate. A Roof Manager proposal is not a Texas contract form, so check that your contract carries the notice; Roof Manager does not file, advise on or adjust insurance claims.

Severe storms make up most of the billion-dollar weather disasters NOAA recorded affecting Texas from 1980 to 2024, and tropical cyclones reach the coast. After one, a roofing company can have a list of addresses to look at in the same week.
Order a report for each address, price the roofs from the office, and send people first to the roofs that need an inspection. Most reports are delivered in under 60 minutes; roofs that need a manual trace review can take up to 24 hours. Every report stays in your account, so a re-quote starts from the same numbers.
A report is not a damage inspection. The satellite image shows the roof’s shape and size and can predate the storm, so document damage on site.

Coastal counties only: the Texas Department of Insurance’s Windstorm Inspection Program covers the designated catastrophe area: the first tier coastal counties of Aransas, Brazoria, Calhoun, Cameron, Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, Kenedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio and Willacy, and certain cities east of State Highway 146 in Harris County. To qualify for wind and hail coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), re-roofs and roof repairs there must be built and inspected to TDI’s building specifications.
When inspected work complies, TDI issues a Certificate of Compliance, Form WPI-8. Build the inspection into the price of a coastal job, and confirm local building requirements with the building official. Roof Manager does not inspect or certify roofs.

Statewide: state law adopts the International Residential Code, as it existed on May 1, 2012, as the municipal residential building code for houses, duplexes and townhouses of up to three stories, and the International Building Code of the same date for commercial buildings. A city may amend either code by ordinance after a public hearing, may consider later editions, and administers and enforces the code itself.
Local: the permit rules differ widely. The City of Dallas exempts the re-roofing of a single-family or duplex home from a permit only when the work is valued at $500 or less, and some districts add requirements. The City of Austin exempts asphalt shingles replacing asphalt shingles, and other roof coverings replaced without affecting the roof structure, on homes of up to three stories — unless the property is in the Wildland-Urban Interface area and 50% or more of the roofing is being replaced.
Outside city limits: in a county that has opted in, the state’s residential code standards for unincorporated areas apply only to new houses and duplexes and to additions that grow a home by more than 50 percent, and a city’s code controls in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. Ask the county, and the nearby city, what applies to a re-roof.

This is general information, not legal or compliance advice. Requirements change, and cities, counties and state agencies apply them, so confirm the current rules with the building department where the property is and with the Texas Department of Insurance before you bid. Roof Manager does not check licenses, registrations, permits, windstorm eligibility or code compliance.
Reports work for any Texas address with high-resolution imagery. Three metros have their own Roof Manager pages, with the local permit rules and storm history that change how a job there is priced.
Greater Houston: the City of Houston residential roofing permit, restoration work after Hurricane Beryl and windstorm inspections on the coastal side of the metro.
The City of Dallas re-roof permit threshold, North Texas hail seasons and quoting across the Metroplex.
The City of Austin re-roof permit exemptions, the 50% Wildland-Urban Interface rule and Central Texas hail.
These pages are about measuring roofs in each metro. Roof Manager has no office in Texas: reports are ordered online, wherever the roof is.

Yes, that is what the report is for. Your catalog and supplier prices turn the measured squares and edge lengths into a priced material list, and a branded proposal built from the report goes to the property owner to e-sign. A report measures the roof from imagery, so confirm key dimensions and the roof’s condition on site.
No. The Legislature’s 2025 analysis of H.B. 3344 says Texas “does not currently require a state-issued license for reroofing contractors”, and that bill, which would have had the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation license them, did not become law. Some cities run their own contractor registration, so check the city where the property is. Roof Manager does not check licenses or registrations.
Yes. State law makes the International Residential Code, as it existed on May 1, 2012, the baseline residential code for cities, and each city may amend it and runs its own permits. The City of Dallas exempts a single-family or duplex re-roof only when the work is $500 or less; the City of Austin exempts many like-for-like re-roofs on homes, but not on a Wildland-Urban Interface property where 50% or more of the roofing is replaced. Check with the building department where the property is.
