What Is a Roof Sketch?
The foundation of every accurate roof estimate.
A roof sketch is a scaled diagram that maps every structural element of a roof. It captures individual facet areas, pitch values, ridge and hip lengths, valley and rake measurements, eave lengths, and total roof area. These are the exact data points estimating software needs to produce an accurate scope of work. When you order a roof sketch from Sketch My Roof, you receive a professional-grade CAD-based report built to the same standards used by carriers and adjusting firms nationwide.
For insurance adjusters, a roof sketch feeds directly into Xactimate® via ESX format, eliminating manual data entry and reducing supplement risk. For contractors, a roof sketch provides the exact measurements needed to bid jobs with confidence. Attorneys, public adjusters, and desk review teams also rely on roof sketches for documentation, dispute resolution, and claim validation.
Every roof sketch from Sketch My Roof is delivered the same business day you place the order. There are no expedite fees, no minimum order quantities, and no subscriptions to manage. You pay per address, starting at $19, and your completed roof sketch arrives in the format you need.

Why Sketch My Roof?
What separates us from every other provider.
The $19 Price Point
We rebuilt the economics of roof sketching from scratch. The same roof sketch that used to cost $100+ from legacy providers now starts at $19, and quality never took a hit. No hidden fees, no volume commitments.
Official Verisk™ Partner
Our ESX files are built to Xactimate® specification, not reverse-engineered. Full variable mapping means your estimate populates correctly the first time, every time.
Same-Day Is Standard
Other roof sketch providers charge expedite fees or make you wait 24 to 48 hours. We deliver every roof sketch the same business day you order it. No rush fees. That's just how we operate. Your roof sketch is in your inbox before the end of the day.
3 Million+ Roof Sketches
We've delivered over 3 million roof sketches across the U.S. and Canada. SOC 2 Type II certified. The scale, security, and track record that carriers, TPAs, and adjusting firms require.
Who Orders Roof Sketches?
Roof sketches for every stage of the claims and construction process.
A roof sketch is not a single-purpose document. The same CAD-based roof sketch that an insurance adjuster imports into Xactimate® is the same roof sketch a contractor uses to calculate material quantities, and the same roof sketch an attorney references during litigation. The format changes, but the underlying data stays consistent because every roof sketch from Sketch My Roof is generated from the same measurement engine and quality assurance pipeline. That consistency is why organizations with high-volume roof sketch needs choose Sketch My Roof as their preferred vendor.
Roof Sketches for Insurance Adjusters
Field adjusters, desk adjusters, and independent adjusters order roof sketches to eliminate the time and risk of manual measurement. Instead of climbing a roof or waiting days for a third-party inspection, an adjuster submits the property address to Sketch My Roof and receives a completed roof sketch the same day. The ESX-formatted roof sketch imports directly into Xactimate® with full variable mapping, which means every line item in the estimate populates from the roof sketch data without manual entry. This reduces supplement frequency and speeds up cycle time on every claim. For adjusting firms managing catastrophe response, having a reliable roof sketch provider that delivers same-day means teams can write estimates the same day they inspect, keeping the entire operation moving.
Roof Sketches for Roofing Contractors
Contractors order roof sketches to bid jobs faster and more accurately. A roof sketch from Sketch My Roof includes total roof area, individual facet measurements, pitch per section, and all ridge, hip, valley, and rake lengths. That data is everything a contractor needs to calculate material orders, labor estimates, and waste factors. Many contractors order a roof sketch before their first site visit so they can arrive with a preliminary quote already drafted. Storm restoration companies that handle high volumes of roof replacements after a weather event use Sketch My Roof to order roof sketches in bulk, often dozens of roof sketches per day, so their sales teams can present accurate bids on the spot.
Roof Sketches for Legal and Desk Review
Attorneys handling property damage claims, public adjusters negotiating supplements, and desk review teams at carriers all use roof sketches as objective measurement documentation. A PDF roof sketch serves as a clean, shareable reference that any party can read without specialized software. When disputes arise over scope, the roof sketch provides the measurement baseline that both sides can reference. For carriers running desk review operations, bulk roof sketch orders from Sketch My Roof integrate into existing workflows with no special setup or software installation required.
Use Cases
One roof sketch. Dozens of applications.
From first notice of loss to final settlement, roof sketches play a role at every stage.
01. Claims Estimating
Import your roof sketch directly into Xactimate® via ESX. Every measurement populates automatically, cutting hours off the estimating process and reducing supplement risk on the back end.
02. Material Takeoffs
Use roof sketch data to calculate shingle squares, underlayment rolls, drip edge, and starter strip. Accurate roof sketches mean tighter material orders and less waste on the job site.
03. Desk Reviews
Carriers and TPAs use roof sketches to validate field estimates without deploying another inspector. A PDF roof sketch gives the review team everything they need to confirm scope from the office.
04. Supplement Support
When an initial estimate comes up short, a roof sketch provides the measurement evidence needed to justify a supplement. Adjusters and contractors both use roof sketches to document the gap between the original scope and the actual roof.
05. Litigation Documentation
Attorneys attach roof sketches to demand letters, expert reports, and court filings. A CAD-based roof sketch carries more weight than a hand-drawn diagram because the measurements are precise and reproducible.
06. Pre-Inspection Prep
Order a roof sketch before your site visit. Walk onto the property with the complete roof layout already in hand so you can focus your inspection on damage assessment instead of measurement.
