Satellite
Utilize our satellite roof measuring tool for efficient and comprehensive roof analysis.
Satellite Roof Measuring Tool
In most areas of the United States, a satellite image provided by iRoofing of a home’s rooftop is perfectly suitable as your basis for a complete and accurate roof measurement. iRoofing has integrated this roof measuring tool´s technology into a simple user design. Search by address in the iRoofing app; click to open the satellite view and zoom right in. Now, just trace the linear features of the roof, which instantly calculates precise roof measurements. Now you’re ready to see a detailed report with the press of a button. It’s all there, the total square footage, roof squares, waste factors, and professional roof diagrams. In no time, you’ll master this simple application with your tablet and your Android phone. Get ready to work more efficiently and more profitably!
Drone
For detailed inspections where satellite views fall short, our drone roof measurement software provides the precision and clarity needed.
Drone Roof Measurements
When you have the need for closer inspection of a roof due to an inadequate or obstructed satellite image, drone roof measuring can be a great asset. You can use drones for roof measurements to take pictures of any part of the roof close-up and from any angle. Our measuring software allows your drone to seamlessly integrate with your phone or tablet so that roof measuring specifications go straight into the iRoofing app and in your client’s profile. Fly your drone high above a roof, snap a picture and guide it back to Earth. It’s easier than flying a kite! Access your images in the iRoofing app and you’re instantly ready to measure, estimate, simulate, and present a professional proposal to your client, so you can quickly close the deal! Plus, use your drone for roof inspections and storm damage assessments.
Blueprint
Instantly calculate measurements by uploading and tracing blueprints, streamlining your project planning process.
Blueprint Roof Measuring App
Architects and builders frequently show only a roof outline on their blueprints, leaving out the roof square measurements as well as linear roof measuring details. With iRoofing, that’s no problem! Using your iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, easily upload a blueprint; trace the linear features of the roof; verify scale and the app instantly and accurately calculates the roof measurements. For existing structures or for new builds, the iRoofing app is the 1-stop solution for any roof measuring scenario.

Roof Measurements - Frequently Asked Questions
Measurements in iRoofing FAQ’s
No! As an iRoofing member, there is no limit to the number of roofing reports you can create. However, you cannot resell or redo reports for others.
Yes! iRoofing can be used to create roof measure reports from blueprints. Simply use the Scale Verify tool to enter one verified on-site measurement, and the rest of your measurements will adjust accordingly, always giving you the highest accuracy possible.
Drone imagery can be one of the most accurate ways to obtain detailed roof measurements, but there are a few tips in order to obtain the best results.
Fly the drone to at least 325 feet above the property. Drones purchased through iRoofing are equipped with a high-quality camera that provides excellent resolution at altitudes up to 400 feet!
Center the drone directly above the home or building and attempt to “square up” the roof image, so it appears as straight as possible.
To calculate scale, one known measurement must be input into the iRoofing measurement tool, such as the front eave of the home or building, see below.
Upload the drone images into the iRoofing app.
Start measuring the roof with the iRoofing software, adding the dimensions of the known measurement, i.e, length of front eave. Then, use iRoofing’s Scale Verify option to populate correct measurements for all roof parts automatically.
Do NOT attempt to edit the photos in an external application in order to fix distortions, perspective, etc.
iRoofing measurements are between 98-99% accurate. Since you create your own reports, every iRoofing membership includes free & unlimited training from the comfort of your home or office to ensure that your measurements are highly accurate. You can always dial-in the accuracy even further by using our field verification system.
To order a roof measurement report, choose a provider or software that offers roof measurements, enter the property address or upload blueprint images, and select your preferred payment method. The provider will process the data and deliver a detailed report showing roof dimensions, slopes and waste factor. iRoofing also gives you the ability to order measurement reports directly from iRoofReports. Perimeter reports cost a flat rate of $8 for iRoofing users, and full reports cost $24 for residential properties of any size.
Shingle roofing is by far the most popular form of roofing. iRoofing has a wealth of helpful guides and videos to walk you through the simple DIY process of performing a roof takeoff and instantly getting the results. Need to know how many bundles of asphalt shingles to purchase for your job? Just go by the total sq. ft. or SQs of your final measurement, then open the iRoofing Estimator and you’ll have your own customized cost report for the materials, including your mark-up and waste factor. Our Estimator templates make it all possible!
To measure roof pitch, place a level on the roof, mark 12 inches, and measure the vertical rise from that point. The inches of rise equal the pitch over 12 (e.g., 6 inches = 6:12 pitch). iRoofing’s roof pitch app makes it even easier , you upload a photo or street view of a straight roof edge and an ascending edge, and the software calculates the pitch instantly for you. See Step 3 in this helpful video.
If you’re trying to figure out the angle of a roof slope (also known as roof “pitch”), use the iRoofing pitch detector. It works by using the app to sketch two roof edges, a straight roof part, like its front eave and an angular line such as a hip. You’ll need a street view of the house which you also access in the app. See Step 3 of this video guide.
A roof measurement (also known as a roof takeoff) will produce the number of square feet or “SQs” (10 ft. X 10ft. squares). Based on the size of your roof tiles, shingles, metal panels, etc. you and your distributor will know exactly how much roof material is needed for your job. And, with iRoofing’s Roof Estimator tool, you can instantly calculate the cost of the new roof! See this helpful video to learn how.
A roof square equals 100 square feet. Measure each roof section’s length × width, add the totals together, then divide by 100. Example: 2,700 sq. ft. ÷ 100 = 27 squares. iRoofing can calculate roof squares digitally from aerial or satellite images.
Roofing Measurements FAQ’s
The easiest method is to use aerial or satellite imagery with roof measurement software. This allows you to obtain dimensions without climbing on the roof, reducing risk and saving time.
Traditional tools include a tape measure, ladder, and safety gear. Digital methods use drones, aerial imagery, or satellite-based software, which require only a device and an internet connection.
Yes, homeowners can measure their roofs using ladders and tape or digital tools. However, contractors often recommend professional or software-assisted measurements for accuracy and safety.
Drone imagery often provides higher resolution and accuracy, especially in areas with tree cover. Satellite imagery is faster and can be done without visiting the property, making it ideal for quick estimates.
Yes. High-quality aerial measurements can be 95–99% accurate when using modern software and clear imagery. Accuracy improves when measurements are verified with at least one known dimension.
Yes, for Roofing Contractors, General Contractors, Insurance Public Adjusters, Gutter Cleaner & Installers, Roof Coating Contractors, Roof Pressure Cleaning, Christmas light installers, and more. Roof measurement software saves them all a massive amount of time. It also reduces labor costs and improves bid accuracy, often paying for itself on the first project. It also helps avoid job delays due to incorrect material orders.
Pitch is the ratio of rise over span, while slope is the rise over run. In roofing, both terms are often used interchangeably to describe the steepness of the roof.
Manual roof measurements can be slow and costly, often delayed by transportation, traffic, and the complexity of the roof itself. Digital roof measurement tools and aerial imagery reports deliver accurate results in minutes, without the need to set foot on site.
Yes, insurance public adjusters and roofing contractors often use roof measurement reports to document roof size, slopes, and waste factors for roofing claims and roof estimates. They are well-received by insurance companies because they also rely on digital roof measurement reports.
No, most modern roof measurement software is user-friendly and comes with free tutorials. However, some providers take it a step further by offering free, unlimited one-on-one training to ensure accurate measurements from the outset. If you’re a beginner, look for these providers to help maximize your accuracy, and check Google reviews about their training to make sure it’s delivered in the most beneficial way for you.
Satellite roof measuring is the process of using satellite imagery to capture precise dimensions of a roof. Instead of climbing on the roof, contractors can get accurate data like area, pitch, and slope directly from aerial images.
Satellite roof measuring is highly accurate, often within a few inches of manual measurements. With advanced software and high-resolution imagery, contractors can rely on these reports for estimates, material orders, and insurance claims.
Contractors use satellite roof measuring to save time, reduce safety risks, and speed up the estimating process. It eliminates the need for on-site measurements, helping roofing businesses close jobs faster and more efficiently.
