RoofSnap product facts
A straightforward reference for buyers and contractors.
Updated October 6, 2026
- What is RoofSnap?
- RoofSnap is a web-based roof measurement tool at roofsnap.io. It uses Google Solar building insights and satellite data to estimate roof geometry for roofing takeoffs and project planning.
- How much does a report cost?
- A roof report costs $6.99 USD. No subscription is required. The fee is for a measurement report, not an inspection, construction estimate or installation service.
- What measurements are included?
- Report data includes roof surface area, plane pitch and azimuth, and roof edge measurements. Refined roof outlines and internal lines depend on the available building-mask and elevation data. Review the results for the property before relying on them.
- Who is it for?
- Roofing contractors, solar installers, insurance adjusters and homeowners can use the measurements for planning. RoofSnap does not provide engineering certification, insurance-claim approval or a roof-condition inspection.
- Where does it work?
- Address search is for US properties. Measurements depend on Google Solar coverage for the selected building. Tri-Cities and Spokane pages explain the regional workflow, but there is no guarantee of data for every address.
- Can buyers download their own PDFs?
- Yes. Buyers sign in, open My reports, and view or download reports associated with their own purchases. They do not need admin access.
- Can I review unusual roof facets?
- Yes. RoofSnap flags some low-confidence facets and offers keep, remove and snap-to-dominant-pitch actions. Automatic artifact exclusion starts on. Optional area calibration starts off. Review any excluded or adjusted sections before finalizing quantities.
- Is there a guaranteed accuracy percentage?
- No universal accuracy percentage is promised here. Results vary with imagery, roof complexity, changes to the property and interpretation of roof planes. Verify uncertain dimensions and current conditions before a final bid or material order.
- Is the imagery live?
- No. Satellite datasets may predate additions or roof changes. Confirm that the pictured building represents the current property.
- Does a report replace a site inspection?
- No. Concealed decking, roofing layers, leaks, installation quality and some flashing details cannot be established from satellite geometry. Site verification and applicable manufacturer and jurisdiction requirements remain necessary.
