Measurements that hold up
in the claim file

Every roof report starts from a detailed measurement of the structure. You get the numbers you need to write an accurate estimate, support the claim, and bid the job with confidence. No climb, no guesswork.

Workflow

From address to estimate
the same day

Order by address and get your report before the daily cutoff. The ESX imports directly into Xactimate®, so you can build the estimate without rekeying measurements. PDF is available for documentation when you need it.

Roof report accuracy for claims, explained

Roof report accuracy matters most when a claim is on the line. SketchMyRoof delivers roof measurements that are precise, consistent, and ready to use in your estimating software. Here is what that means for your next claim.

What makes a roof report accurate

An accurate roof report captures the actual dimensions of the roof: field areas, slopes, hips, valleys, ridges, and eaves. It also includes the details adjusters and contractors need, like waste factors and pitch. The result is a set of numbers you can trust to build a complete estimate.

How accuracy affects the claim

Inaccurate measurements lead to underbids, supplements, and disputes. A precise roof report reduces the chance of missing material or labor. It gives you a clear basis for the claim, so you can present the numbers with confidence.

The role of the ESX file

The ESX file is the core deliverable. It imports directly into Xactimate®, so the measurements populate your estimate line by line. This saves time and reduces data entry errors. For Symbility® users, an XML file is available at order time. PDF is an optional add-on for documentation.

Same-day turnaround for fast claims

Claims move quickly. SketchMyRoof delivers reports the same day when you order before the daily cutoff. That means you can get the measurements you need without slowing down the claim process.

No climb, no access issues

Getting on a roof is time-consuming and risky. With SketchMyRoof, you order by address and receive the report without ever setting foot on the structure. This is especially useful for steep roofs, multi-story buildings, or properties where access is limited.

Consistency across every report

Each report follows the same standards, so you get consistent measurements from one property to the next. That consistency helps you build a reliable workflow, whether you handle one claim a month or dozens a week.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are SketchMyRoof roof measurements?

SketchMyRoof roof reports are built from detailed measurements of the structure. The numbers are precise enough to support an estimate, a claim, or a bid. You get field areas, slopes, and all the key roof components in a format that imports into Xactimate®.

What file formats are included in a roof report?

The standard deliverable is an ESX file that imports into Xactimate®. For Symbility® users, an XML file is available at order time. A PDF is an optional add-on for documentation. You choose the format that fits your workflow.

How fast can I get a roof report for a claim?

Reports are delivered the same day when you order before the daily cutoff. This lets you keep the claim moving without waiting days for measurements.

Do I need to climb the roof to get measurements?

No. You order by address and receive the report without a physical inspection. This removes the safety risk and the time cost of climbing, while still giving you accurate numbers.

Can I use the roof report in Xactimate®?

Yes. The ESX file imports directly into Xactimate®, so the measurements populate your estimate. This reduces manual entry and helps you build a complete, accurate claim file.
