Know How Many Squares Your Roof Is From the Address

A roofing square is 100 square feet of roof area, so a roof listed at 24 squares covers 2,400 square feet. A SketchMyRoof roof report gives you the exact square count for any property, ordered by address. You get total squares, individual facet areas, pitch and edge measurements without a site visit or a ladder.

What a roofing square is

One roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. Materials, labor and estimates are priced per square, so the square count is the number every quote starts from. A roof report converts the full surface area into squares for you, including the waste factor that comes from cuts at hips, valleys and edges.

The square count for your roof, by address

Your roof report lists the total squares for the property along with the area of each facet. You order it by entering the property address, with no site visit and no ladder. Standard orders are delivered the same day, so you can price the job the same afternoon you look it up.

More than just a number

Beyond total squares, the report breaks out pitch, ridge, hip, valley, eave and rake lengths for the roof. That detail lets you order the right amount of shingles, underlayment, ridge cap and drip edge instead of guessing. Every measurement ties back to the same address you searched.

One report, used across the trade

Adjusters, estimators and roofing contractors order the same report and read the same square count. Each order is delivered as an ESX for Xactimate®, or as an XML for Symbility® users, with a PDF available as an add-on. Integrated orders come with an ESX and a PDF and import directly into Xactimate® for estimating.

Frequently asked questions

How many square feet is one roofing square?

One roofing square is 100 square feet of roof area. A 30 square roof therefore covers 3,000 square feet of surface. The roof report gives you both the square count and the underlying square footage.

Is my roof square count the same as my home's square footage?

No. Your roof square count measures the actual roof surface, which is larger than the footprint of the home because of pitch and overhangs. The roof report measures the roof itself, so the numbers are accurate for ordering material.

Can I get the square count without going on the roof?

Yes. You order the report by property address, with no site visit and no ladder required. Standard orders are delivered the same day with the total squares and facet areas included.

What is included with the roof report besides squares?

The report includes total squares, individual facet areas, pitch and the lengths of ridges, hips, valleys, eaves and rakes. Each order is delivered as an ESX for Xactimate®, or as an XML for Symbility® users, with a PDF available as an add-on. Integrated orders come with an ESX and a PDF that import into Xactimate®.

How fast can I find out how many squares my roof is?
