Professional Aerial Roof Measurements Nationwide
Get high-quality residential aerial roof measurement reports in 30 minutes. Ideal for roofing contractors needing quick roof measurements to complete bids or facilitate claims.
A residential roof report gives you the measurements, diagrams, and file format you need before ordering materials or building an estimate. Pricing varies by report type and delivery format, so the right choice depends on how you work, what your crew needs in the field, and whether you’re sending data into estimating software.
Below, we’ll break down residential roof report options, what’s typically included, and how ESX, PDF, and bundled formats compare so you can pick the most useful version without overpaying.
Choosing the right residential roof report comes down to how you estimate, document and price work. Rapid Squares offers two formats built from the same core roof measurements, plus a bundle that keeps the report set complete without stretching the budget.
The Residential ESX roof measurement report is the straightforward option for contractors and adjusters working inside Xactimate. Priced at $10.00, it delivers the core geometry needed to start estimating quickly: total area, pitch, slope, ridges, hips, valleys, eaves and a clear facet-by-facet breakdown.
Because the file is built around precise roof measurements, it fits neatly into established insurance and restoration workflows. If your priority is speed, clean importing and a dependable residential roof report that supports line-item estimating without extra formatting, this is the practical choice.
The PDF Squares report, priced at $15.00, is designed for teams that want a polished document they can review, share and price from immediately. Alongside the same core roof data, it includes waste factor calculations, which makes material planning more realistic from the outset.
That added layer is especially useful when ordering shingles or presenting a scope to a homeowner. Instead of only seeing the roof's raw area, you get a report that translates measurements into a format better suited to takeoffs, sales conversations and field coordination.
For $20.00, the bundle combines both formats and offers the best overall value. If your process moves between estimating software, internal review and customer-facing documentation, pairing the residential roof report in ESX with the PDF version avoids choosing between speed and presentation.
This option suits restoration firms, roofing contractors and busy offices that want one roof measured once and used several ways. Rather than ordering a separate report later, the bundle gives your team flexibility from the start while keeping costs modest and workflow clean.
| Option | Price | Best for | Main benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESX File | $10.00 | Insurance Claims Adjusters, Restoration firms, roofing contractors, using Xactimate for their main platform | Ready to import ESX file specific for use with Xactimate claims creation software |
| PDF Squares Report | $15.00 | Ideal for roofing contractors who need a clean PDF presentation file outlining all measurement data with waster factor calculations | Fast and clean. Can be white labeled with your logo and company information |
| ESX + PDF | $20.00 | Best of both worlds where an ESX is needed to help build the claim or bid in Xactimate with a data-matched PDF file for portability and clean customer facing data presentation | Everything you need from start to finish. Bring your bid or claim to the finish line with the data you need |
Each report is built to give contractors and adjusters a clean, usable set of roof measurements without extra clutter. You’ll receive the core dimensions of the roof, organized clearly, so the roof's geometry is easy to read, estimate, and transfer into your workflow.
The report centers on the numbers that matter in estimating and ordering. Expect total roof area, pitch, slope, ridges, hips, valleys, rakes, and eaves, along with a clear facet-by-facet layout. These roof measurements are presented in a format that makes takeoffs faster and easier to verify.
For users working in Xactimate or reviewing a PDF summary, the report is designed to translate the roof into practical line items rather than abstract data. That means each plane is identified cleanly, so the full roof can be understood at a glance and checked with confidence.
Just as important, this is not an inspection report. It does not evaluate roof condition, confirm material performance, or document damage for underwriting, real estate, or claims investigations. Its purpose is measurement: capturing the structure’s geometry accurately so estimating can move forward quickly.
If a project requires photos, leak tracing, field notes, or an assessment of storm-related damage, that calls for a separate service. This report supports scope development and estimating, but it should not be treated as a substitute for an on-site inspection report or a formal condition assessment.
The best residential roof report depends on how you’ll use the numbers once they arrive. Some jobs need a report that drops straight into estimating software, while others just need a clear roof summary for review, planning, and field coordination. Here’s how to choose the format that fits your workflow.
If your estimating process lives in Xactimate, ESX is usually the cleanest choice. Instead of retyping dimensions, you can move roof measurements directly into the platform and keep an estimate moving with fewer manual steps. That matters when speed, consistency, and file accuracy affect turnaround.
For adjusters, contractors, and office teams building scopes every day, an ESX report helps standardize the handoff from measurement to estimate. You still get the core roof data that drives material and labor calculations, but in a format built for software-first workflows rather than visual review alone.
A PDF report is often the right pick when you want fast clarity without needing software import. For many contractors, project managers, and homeowners, a residential roof report in PDF form is easy to open, share, and discuss with crews or clients. It’s especially useful during pre-bid planning, job review, or material checks.
Because the roof layout, facet breakdown, pitch, ridges, hips, valleys, and waste factor calculations are presented in a readable format, a PDF can be all you need for decision-making. If your workflow is more visual than estimate-driven, it’s a practical, straightforward option.
These reports are built for residential property work where accuracy needs to arrive fast. Whether you’re a contractor pricing a job or homeowners reviewing a scope, the goal is the same: clear roof measurements, fewer assumptions, and a cleaner path from estimate to approval.
For a contractor, speed matters, but so does confidence in the numbers. A residential roof report gives estimators and production teams a reliable takeoff they can use to build Xactimate line items, check scope, and keep crews aligned before materials are ordered.
Because each roof report includes area, pitch, slope, ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, and facet details, it works well for supplements, bids, and day-to-day planning. It’s especially useful when you need a clean starting point without spending extra field time measuring every section by hand.
For homeowners, these reports make it easier to understand what they’re being quoted for and why one proposal may differ from another. Instead of sorting through vague totals, they can compare scope, materials, and repairs against a clear measurement layout.
That added visibility is useful when reviewing storm damage claims, weighing partial versus full replacement, or asking better questions about waste, slopes, and line-item pricing. It helps homeowners feel less dependent on guesswork and more confident when approving work on a major exterior project.
A good estimate starts with reliable measurements, and that is exactly where a Residential Roof Report earns its value. Instead of sketching by hand or double-checking dimensions on site, contractors get a detailed report that organizes the key figures needed to price work with confidence. Total roof area, pitch, slope, ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, and facet breakdowns are presented in a format that is easy to use in the office or in the field.
That clarity helps with more than just the first number on a proposal. It makes ordering roofing materials more accurate, reduces missed line items, and gives crews a clearer picture of the roofing systems they will be working on before the job begins. Whether you need an ESX file for Xactimate or a PDF with waste factor calculations, the report supports faster planning and cleaner estimating from start to finish.
A residential roof report includes the core roof measurements needed for estimating and material planning, such as total area, pitch, slope, ridges, hips, valleys, rakes, eaves, and a facet-by-facet breakdown of each roof plane.
The ESX report is built for Xactimate users who want fast estimating with a clean import-ready format. The PDF Squares report includes the same core measurements plus waste factor calculations, making it better for takeoffs, material ordering, and sharing with homeowners or internal teams.
The Residential ESX roof measurement report is $10.00, the PDF Squares report is $15.00, and the bundle with both formats is $20.00. The bundle is the best value for teams that need both estimating speed and a polished document.
If you work primarily in Xactimate, the Residential ESX roof measurement report is the best fit. It focuses on the geometry and layout needed to move quickly into line-item estimating without extra formatting.
Waste factor calculations are included in the PDF Squares report. They are helpful for more realistic material planning, especially when ordering shingles or preparing a scope for review.
No. This report is for roof measurements only. It does not assess roof condition, verify damage, include leak tracing, or replace an on-site inspection or formal condition assessment.
The bundle works best for roofing contractors, restoration firms, adjusters, and office teams that need to use one set of roof measurements across software estimating, internal review, and customer-facing documentation.
