How to measure a house for siding: the professional way.

Measuring a house for siding is straightforward when you have the right data. You need the square footage of each wall plane, the number and size of openings, and the total linear footage of corners and trim. A SketchMyRoof report delivers all of that from a single address order.

Start with the address.

Order a wall measurement report by entering the property address. We process the request and return a full report the same day. No ladder, no tape measure, no site visit.

Review each wall plane.

The report breaks down every wall face on the structure. You get dimensions for main walls, gables, dormers, and any other vertical surface. Each plane is labeled and measured individually.

Subtract openings automatically.

Windows, doors, and other openings are identified and measured. Their square footage is subtracted from the gross wall area. The report shows net siding area for each wall and the total.

Get linear measurements for trim and corners.

The report includes linear footage for all corners, eaves, and rake edges. This data helps you order trim, J-channel, and starter strips accurately.

Export and send the data.

Download the report as an ESX, XML, or PDF file. Send it straight into Xactimate®. The data is ready to use.
