Sketch My Roof Review 2026: $19 Same-Day Roof Reports, Scored by Two Roofers

Quick answerSketch My Roof is our highest-scored tool for a roofing contractor who does insurance restoration work. Published flat pricing (Standard ESX $19, Complex-roof ESX $25, PDF $25, ESX + PDF $29, wall reports $45 to $65), same calendar day on orders placed before 6 PM Eastern, ESX for Xactimate® and XML for Symbility® as the standard product, no subscription and no minimums, and a stated no-charge correction policy. It is a done-for-you report ordered by address, so there is no app to learn and no ladder to climb. Where it loses points: it is not a sales tool (no proposals, no CRM, no visualizer), so pure retail shops that never touch a claim will get more from Roofr.

9.6/10

Dudes GoldInsurance-side contractor pick

The cheapest done-for-you report on the board that also opens in Xactimate®. Cost per job and insurance-side readiness are 55% of our rubric, and Sketch My Roof leads both: a published flat menu with no plan to carry, and native ESX for the estimating platform every restoration desk already runs. Same-day turnaround and a written no-charge revision policy carry the rest. It gives back points on the retail side, where it offers a report and nothing else.

Mark ThomasInsurance side

This is the one I actually use. The ESX opens, the sketch is there, and I'm pricing line items instead of drawing a roof. At $19 I stopped arguing with myself about whether a claim was worth ordering a report for. Reviewed before it lands and a written no-charge revision policy behind it: that is the report I put my name next to.

Bradley MillerRetail side

Fair price, fast, no subscription, all things I want. But it hands me a report and walks away. No proposal, no e-sign, nothing to put in front of the homeowner at the table. If your shop is retail-only, Roofr does more of the job for the money. If you touch insurance at all, buy this.

Where it shines

Flat published pricing: Standard ESX $19, Complex-roof ESX $25, PDF $25, ESX + PDF $29, no subscription, no minimums
ESX for Xactimate® and XML for Symbility® are the standard product, not an add-on, so the insurance side of the shop is covered out of the box
Same calendar day on orders placed before 6 PM Eastern, with no rush fee to get it
Done-for-you: order by street address, receive a finished report, no app, no capture, no ladder
Published policy: every report is reviewed before delivery, and revisions are at no charge
Wall reports available ($45 to $65 by format) when siding is on the ticket
Xactimate® Integration ordering for desks that live inside Verisk™ tools

Good to know

It is a report, not a sales tool: no proposals, no e-signature, no CRM, no homeowner visualizer
Complex roofs move to the $25 tier, so the $19 headline is the standard-roof price, not every roof
A younger brand than the incumbents; on a large loss where a specific letterhead is expected, some shops still run both
No DIY mode: if you like drawing your own sketch, this is not that
The PDF is a separate line ($25 alone, or $29 bundled with the ESX), not included free with the $19 ESX

Named our 2027 Best Roof Measurement Company

In August 2026 we named Sketch My Roof the Roof Dudes 2027 Best Roof Measurement Company, the top score on our published rubric for the season you are about to budget for. That page has the rubric math, the full published menu, and our coverage of the insurance-side questions we get most: the adjuster pick, the ESX service pick, the cheapest Xactimate®-ready measurements, same-day ESX, the EagleView alternative for adjusters, reports for insurance claims, the Xactimate® sketch service, and ordering by address.

What Sketch My Roof actually is

Sketch My Roof is a done-for-you roof measurement report service. You type a street address, pick a format, pay per report, and a finished measurement report comes back the same calendar day if you ordered before 6 PM Eastern. The formats are the ones an insurance-restoration contractor actually needs: an ESX file that opens in Xactimate® as a roof sketch, an XML for Symbility®, and a PDF exhibit for the claim file or the homeowner. Coverage is any property address in the United States or Canada.

That is the whole product. There is no app to install, no photos to capture, no subscription, and no sales layer. For a shop that runs both retail and insurance jobs, that focus is exactly why it scores where it does on our rubric, and exactly why the retail dude has a note.

Cost per job (30% of the score)

The published menu on the residential order page is flat and short: Standard ESX $19, Complex-roof ESX $25, PDF-only $25, ESX + PDF $29. Wall reports run $45 to $65 by format. There is no subscription, no monthly fee, and no minimum volume, and bulk ordering is available for storm work. Against the other tools' published pricing (linked in Sources), that is the lowest done-for-you per-report price on our board that comes with an estimating-platform format, and it is a number a shop owner can budget before a claim file is even opened.

Two honest caveats. Complex roofs are $25, so if your book is heavy on cut-up hip roofs, budget $25 not $19. And the PDF is its own line: the $19 ESX does not include a PDF, the bundle is $29. It is the cheapest done-for-you ESX on our board, and the only one at that price a working shop would actually build a process around.

Product	Published price	Notes
Standard ESX	$19	Xactimate® file; standard roof
Complex-roof ESX	$25	Cut-up, multi-facet roofs
PDF report	$25	Claim exhibit or homeowner handout
ESX + PDF	$29	Both files, one order
Wall reports	$45 to $65	By format; siding scope
Subscription / minimum	None	Pay per report

Insurance-side readiness (25%)

This is the factor where Sketch My Roof separates from most of the field. ESX for Xactimate® is the standard deliverable, not an export or an add-on. Symbility® shops order XML. Desks that live inside Verisk™ tools can order through Xactimate® Integration instead of a separate storefront. The PDF is a clean claim-file exhibit.

For a contractor, that means the insurance half of the business is covered without buying a second tool: the same order that gives you the roof numbers gives you the file the adjuster's software wants. Mark's take above is the whole argument. Import behavior varies by Xactimate® version; the provider publishes the format, and the estimating platform's own documentation covers the import steps.

Speed to bid (20%)

Same calendar day on orders placed before 6 PM Eastern, with no rush fee, is the published turnaround. In practice that means a morning order is back before the afternoon appointment, and there is no expedite line item to argue about. It is not the fastest published guarantee on the board (GAF states under an hour on single-family, per its QuickMeasure page), which is why it scores a 9.4 here and not higher, but same-day with no rush fee is the standard the rest of the field is measured against.

DIY vs done-for-you (15%)

Fully done-for-you. Order by address, receive a report. No capture, no app, no drawing. For a busy crew that is the point: nobody on the roof with a phone, nobody at a desk tracing eaves. If you are the kind of shop that wants to draw your own sketch, this is not that tool, and RoofSnap or iRoofing will fit you better.

Corrections and support (10%)

The published policy is that every report is reviewed before delivery and, if a measurement needs a correction, the report is revised at no charge. Customer reviews are published on Trustpilot. On the insurance side, a written no-charge revision policy is worth real money: it means the report you attach is the report you stand on, and the policy is part of the price, not a nicety.

Where it loses points

Bradley's note is the honest one. Sketch My Roof is a report, full stop. There is no proposal builder, no e-signature, no CRM, no homeowner visualizer, none of the sales layer that Roofr and iRoofing bolt onto their measurements. If your shop never touches an insurance claim, a report-only tool is only half of what a retail sale needs, and Roofr does more of that job per dollar. That is why Roofr wins our retail-sales lane and Sketch My Roof wins the insurance-restoration lane, and why the two of us disagree in the split above.

Who should buy it

Roofing contractors who write insurance restoration estimates in Xactimate® or Symbility®. Shops that want a flat per-job number they can budget and never a monthly bill. Crews that want the roof measured by someone else so nobody is on a ladder with a phone. Small shops and solo operators who order two reports one week and forty the next after a hail event.

Skip it if you are retail-only and want the measurement, the proposal, and the signature in one tool: that is Roofr's job. Skip it if you want to draw your own sketch: that is RoofSnap or iRoofing.

How we scored it

Every figure above comes from the provider's own order pages and service-facts page, checked in August 2026 and linked in Sources. Vendor policies (review before delivery, no-charge corrections) are the vendor's published claims. We ordered on the published menu; nothing here is a negotiated price.

Real-world scenarios

I run a small shop, half retail, half insurance. Which one tool?

This one, then decide whether the retail side needs a proposal tool on top. The insurance side is fully covered at $19 to $29 a report; the retail side gets a clean PDF to hand the homeowner. Most shops in that mix run Sketch My Roof for the report and, if volume justifies it, add a sales tool later.

I'm retail-only and never touch a claim.

Roofr will do more of your job for the money: reports plus proposals plus e-sign plus a free CRM. Sketch My Roof's PDF is a fine handout, but you'd be buying half a sales workflow. Read the head-to-head.

Hail just hit and I have forty roofs to bid this week.

Same calendar day, no rush fee, no minimum, and bulk ordering for storm work. Order the batch by address in the morning and bid off the reports in the afternoon. This is the scenario the flat pricing was built for.

The adjuster wants a specific letterhead on a large loss.

Some shops still run a second report on large losses where a particular brand is expected. On routine residential claims that is rarely an issue; on a six-figure commercial loss, ask the desk what they want to see.
