Tap the corners of the roof on the map. Bestimate counts the squares and names every edge. There is no report to buy.
The real map is a satellite view of the actual home. In the app you pull up the address and trace the roof on live imagery of that house. The picture below is a drawing, here for test purposes only.
Tap each corner of the roof.
The aerial is drawn because the real imagery belongs to the map provider and is not ours to reprint. The arithmetic is not: every edge is named the way the tool names it — eave, ridge, hip, valley, rake — and the pitch is applied to the footprint. Trace a second wing against the first and the valley where they meet finds itself. The demo frames each plane for you; in the app you draw the ridge lines yourself when a roof is busier than this.
It is already on the job, so the roof is on your screen before you have the door open.
Set the pitch. The tool counts the squares and names every edge as you go.
The numbers land on the estimate, against your own prices. No retyping.
It draws the outline, names every edge, and adds up the numbers.
The real measure tool, recorded on a drawn example roof. Every figure is its own output.
Squares and square feet, with the pitch applied.
Each plane counted, so a cut-up roof is not guessed at.
Waste allowance and bundle count off your own catalogue.
Eave, rake, ridge, hip, valley and step flashing, each with its own length.
One tap and the numbers become priced lines. Not a document to read.
The report you are used to buying, and it is in the price. An example company and an example roof. The measurements, the edge breakdown and the material maths are the real output.
The one price covers every roof you measure.
It is a trace over aerial imagery, which is how the report you buy today is made as well. It is accurate enough to quote from and it is what we quote from — but it is not a laser scan, imagery can be a season out of date, and a complicated roof still deserves a look from the ladder before the material order goes in.
Pilot companies are invited, and the first sixty days are free.
