DIY sketching - tracing a roof outline on satellite imagery

Measure roof pitch for any address - automatically

Pitch is how steep a roof is, written as rise over run: a 5:12 roof rises 5 inches for every 12 inches it runs. You don't need to climb up with a level - M2Q reads the pitch from satellite imagery for any address you type.

Pitch matters because a steeper roof has more surface than the flat footprint - more material, more money. Try it with the calculator: same footprint, different pitch, very different roof.

A Quick Roof Check gives the roof's predominant pitch; a Full Report breaks it down facet by facet with slope-direction arrows - the same detail you get tracing it yourself with DIY.

Questions

Everything you need to know about our roof measurement software.

What exactly is in a Full Report?

Total roof area in squares, predominant and per-facet pitch, and measured lengths for every ridge, hip, valley, eave and rake - drawn on a facet diagram, delivered as a PDF. It's built for material orders and production, and it's checked by a person before it reaches you.

What's in a Quick Roof Check?

Total area in squares, predominant pitch, and eave and rake lengths over aerial imagery - the numbers you need to bid a job, back in about 30 minutes.

What do DIY roof measurements include?

Whatever you trace: outline the roof on satellite imagery and you get area in squares plus the edge lengths of your sketch - instantly, free, unlimited, on every plan.

How accurate are the roof measurements?

[Placeholder - replace with the real validated figure before launch. This is the question that decides the sale.]

How fast do reports come back?

Quick Roof Checks in about 30 minutes between 8am and 10pm ET; Full Reports in about an hour. After hours, by 8am the next business day. DIY is instant.

Do measurements flow into quotes?

Yes - that's the point. Every roof measurement lands in the quote builder already filled in, priced from your own catalog. You never retype a number.

Roof measurement with AI - what does it do?

Two things. When you sketch a roof yourself, AI can auto-detect the full roof or its perimeter for you, and snap-to-edge tools keep your lines on the real edges - so a one-minute trace comes out accurate. And when you order a report, automation does the heavy lifting while a person verifies the result - AI speed, human accuracy.

How does a roof measurements app save me time?

No ladder, no drive, no site visit. Type the address, get the measurement, and the quote is already filled in - most contractors price the job before a competitor has scheduled their visit. The hours you spent measuring and retyping numbers go back into selling.

Can I change a Quick Roof Check to a Full Report?

Yes. Order the Full Report for the same address whenever a bid turns into a job - the detailed, human-verified version comes back with facet diagrams ready for the material order.

How much does it cost?

Try it free. DIY makes M2Q a free roof measuring app - free roof measurements, unlimited, on every plan. Want us to measure the roof from satellite? Free as well: your trial includes 15 Quick Roof Checks and 5 Full Reports - roof measurements from satellite, free, no credit card and no commitment.
