What's Inside a Roof Measurement Report?
Know exactly what is in your roof measurement report before you send it to the carrier.
Every field is there for one reason: to get your claim or bid written faster and defended easier.
The report breaks the roof into individual slopes with pitch, dimensions, and area. It lists ridge, hip, valley, eave, and rake lengths. It shows the number of penetrations and the square footage of each plane. You get the numbers you need to build a line item, not a guess.
The ESX file imports directly into Xactimate®. XML is available for Symbility® users at order time. PDF is an optional add-on for documentation or sharing with the homeowner. You choose what you need when you order.
A roof measurement report is the set of numbers that turns a roof into a line item. It gives you the area, pitch, and linear measurements for every section of the roof. It is the basis for your estimate, your claim, and your bid.
The report lists each roof plane with its dimensions and square footage. It includes pitch, ridge length, hip length, valley length, eave length, and rake length. It also counts penetrations like vents, pipes, and chimneys. The result is a complete set of measurements you can use in Xactimate® or on a bid sheet.
The report is organized by slope and by plane. Each section is labeled clearly, so you can match the numbers to the roof without confusion. The summary page gives you the total square footage and the total linear feet for each component. You can go from the report to the estimate without re-measuring anything.
The ESX file is the core deliverable. It imports directly into Xactimate® and populates the sketch with the measured dimensions. You do not have to redraw the roof. You open the file, review the sketch, and start writing the estimate.
If you use Symbility®, you can choose XML at order time. The XML file is formatted for that ecosystem. It gives you the same measured data in a file that works with your software.
The PDF is an optional add-on. It is a clean, printable copy of the report. Use it for the homeowner, the adjuster, or your own file. It shows the same numbers as the ESX, but in a format anyone can read.
You order by address, and the report is ready before the daily cutoff. That means you can get the measurements you need and send the estimate the same day. No climb, no wait, no re-measure.
