Roofing & Exterior Xactimate Estimates with Accurate Sketches

Roof estimates live or die on the sketch. We build it from your measurement report, then add the items adjusters commonly leave off: steep and high charges, starter, ridge, drip edge, flashing and code upgrades.

What to send us

  • Aerial measurement report (EagleView, Hover or similar) or field measurements
  • Photos of each slope, penetrations and accessories
  • Siding, gutter and window damage photos for exterior scopes
  • Carrier estimate, if you're comparing scopes

Missing something? Send what you have. We'll tell you what else we need before we start.

What the estimate covers

  • Roof sketch

    Accurate Xactimate roof sketch with pitch, facets and waste.

  • Roofing system

    Tear-off, underlayment, shingles, starter, ridge and accessories.

  • Steep & high

    Steep and high-roof charges where pitch and height apply.

  • Exterior

    Siding, gutters, soffit, fascia and window wraps.

How it works

  1. 01

    Get your portal login

    Tell us about your company and the work you need. We set up your client portal the same day, with no software to install.

  2. 02

    Upload the job

    Pick a service, add the property address and notes, then upload photos, drying logs and field sketches or paste a Matterport link.

  3. 03

    We write the scope

    An estimator sketches the structure in Xactimate, applies the price list for the loss ZIP code and scopes every trade. A senior estimator then reviews it.

  4. 04

    Download ESX + PDF

    You get an email when it's ready. Download the native .ESX file and PDF from the portal, then review and send it to the carrier under your own brand.

Roofing & Exterior FAQs

More answers on our FAQ page.

Do you need an aerial measurement report?

It's the fastest route, but not required. We can also work from field measurements and photos, or order-ready sketches as an add-on.

What files do I get back?

A native Xactimate .ESX file you can open, adjust and upload to the carrier, plus a PDF of the estimate with the sketch and photo references. Both are unbranded so they go out under your company name.
