Contractor packs prepaid report credit
Credit is good for 12 months and is drawn down as you order; we email your remaining balance after every report. Rush and extra buildings are billed separately. To buy a pack, email orders@measure.report and we’ll send an invoice. Ordering every month? Ask about monthly invoicing: one invoice for all of the month’s reports.
Why our reports are more accurate
Every measurement is checked against multiple independent sources, and your report shows the proof.
Cross-checked against independent sources
Every roof outline is compared with multiple independent county, state and federal aerial sources from different years, going back as far as 2002 where available. Your report shows how closely they agree, so you can see the measurement holds up before you order materials.
LiDAR heights and pitch
Pitch, ridge and eave heights and roof-level differences come from laser elevation data, not estimated from a photo.
Storm, flood and code info
Nearby hail and damaging-wind reports by distance, the FEMA flood zone, and the building code in force, all in the same PDF.
Full exterior wall areas
Wall area by side, from grade to roof edge, including the upper walls where a low roof meets a taller one. Included in Bid-Ready and House complete, an add-on for other reports, or on its own as a wall-only report for siding jobs.
Commercial detail
Roof levels, parapet runs and heights, wall tie-ins, rooftop units and a LiDAR drainage and low-point map for low-slope bids.
Gutters & downspouts, only when confirmed
We report gutters only when street-level photos or your own photos of the sides show them, so nothing is guessed. A +$10 add-on; if photos can't confirm gutters, the $10 is refunded.
Files that drop into your estimate
An Xactimate-ready line-item CSV, plus CAD (DXF), CSV, XML and GeoJSON files with every report.
24-hour delivery, or Rush
Every report within 24 hours. Rush (+$15) delivers in about 4 hours, same day when ordered by 2 PM ET.
FAQ
How accurate is it?
We build every report to be the most accurate available. Each measurement is cross-checked against multiple independent county, state and federal aerial sources from different years, plus LiDAR elevation data, and your report shows how closely they agree. If a field-verified measurement differs from the report by more than the tolerance stated in it, we revise the report for free or refund it.
How is this different from a basic roof report?
Besides squares and lines, every report adds LiDAR heights and pitch, storm and flood history and an Xactimate-ready CSV, and checks the roof outline against independent aerials from several years. On commercial roofs it breaks out roof levels, tie-in walls, edge types, equipment and drainage.
How fast will I get it?
Every report is delivered within 24 hours of your order. Need it sooner? Add Rush (+$15) for about 4-hour delivery (same day when ordered by 2 PM ET). If we miss the rush time, we refund the rush fee.
Do you measure gutters?
Only when photos confirm them. Gutters and downspouts are a +$10 add-on, reported only when street-level imagery or photos you upload of the house sides show them. Please upload photos of the sides with your order. If you pay for gutters and they can't be confirmed, the $10 is refunded.
What files do I get?
A PDF sheet set plus CSV, XML, DXF (CAD roof plan) and GeoJSON files. When photos of the sides confirm gutters, the report adds a Gutters & Downspouts sheet with the photo source cited (lengths and downspout locations are estimates). Every report includes an Xactimate-ready line-item CSV: common roofing line items (plus gutter lines when confirmed) with suggested selectors and quantities you can key or import into your estimate. It is not an ESX file and is not Verisk-certified; check selectors against your price list.
Do you have contractor packs or monthly billing?
Yes. Prepaid packs bring the per-report price down (for example 10 house roof reports for $225, or 10 commercial Takeoffs for $699). Credit lasts 12 months and we email your remaining balance after each order. Regular contractors can also get one monthly invoice instead of paying per report. Email orders@measure.report to set either up.
Where do you cover?
Reports are available where public LiDAR and aerial imagery cover the property. Payment is taken when you order. We check the public LiDAR and aerial coverage first, before any work starts. If the data can't support an accurate report, we refund 100% within 1 business day of your order.
What data do you use?
Public statewide LiDAR (served by NOAA and USGS), state and county orthophotos, federal (USDA NAIP) aerials, and county GIS parcels. We don't use Google imagery. Street-level photos, when included, come from Mapillary's community imagery (© Mapillary contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0) and each one is credited with its contributor, date and a link to the original on mapillary.com.
When do I pay?
When you order. You pay through Stripe right after sending the form (or by the Stripe link we email you). We then check data coverage; if the data can't support an accurate report, we refund 100% within 1 business day of your order. Card details go to Stripe and never reach us.
Can I get a free sample on my own building?
For the founding launch we run a limited number of free first reports for estimators and facility managers. Mention it in the notes when you order.
