Roof Reports for Insurance Claims:
4.9/5 Rating
What Is a Roof Report?
A roof report is a detailed document that outlines the measurements and specifications of a roof for insurance and construction purposes. It typically includes the total roof area, pitch and slope values, line lengths such as ridges, hips, valleys, and eaves, as well as waste factor recommendations and material calculations. Insurance adjusters use roof reports to scope claims accurately, contractors rely on them to order the right amount of material, and carriers depend on them to close claims quickly and fairly. By providing a clear breakdown of the roof’s structure, a roof report ensures that everyone involved in the claim is working from the same reliable data.

Roof Reports vs. Roof Sketches
It’s important to understand the difference
Roof Report (PDF): A breakdown of the roof’s measurements, slopes, and material needs.
Roof Sketch (ESX/3D file): A digital model of the roof, used directly in Xactimate for claim estimating.
Many customers order both: the roof sketch for integration with estimating software, and the roof report for clear material and pitch breakdowns.
