Why we name a 2027 pick in August 2026

Because that is when a roofing company decides what it is going to pay for next year. Storm season is winding down, the slow months are coming, and every shop we know sits down about now and asks which subscriptions to cancel and which tools actually earned their keep. Car magazines name next year's car this year for the same reason. We name the measurement pick for the season you are about to budget for.

The award is not a plaque anybody paid for. It is the top score on our published rubric, the same five factors and weights we score every tool with, and it goes to whoever earns it. This year that is Sketch My Roof, and it is not close on the factors that matter to the insurance side of a shop.

What it won on: the rubric math

Cost per job, no strings (30% of the score): 9.9. Nineteen dollars for a standard roof as an ESX file, $25 for a complex roof, $25 for a PDF, $29 for both. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no rush fee for same-day. On our board that is the cheapest done-for-you report that also opens in Xactimate®, and it is the only pricing on the board you can budget a whole storm season on without a sales call.

Insurance-side readiness (25%): 9.8. The standard product is an ESX file, the format Xactimate® imports natively, so the roof sketch and measurements land in the estimate instead of getting redrawn by hand. XML covers Symbility® desks. The PDF is the exhibit for the claim file. There is also a Xactimate® Integration for desks that want to order inside Xactimate® or XactAnalysis® and have the report land back in the workflow.

Speed to bid (20%): 9.4. Same calendar day on orders placed before 6 PM Eastern, at the standard price. Order in the morning, write the estimate that afternoon.

DIY versus done-for-you (15%): 9.5. You type in a street address. That is the whole job on your end. No ladder, no app, no drawing.

Corrections and support (10%): 9.4. Every report is reviewed before delivery, and revisions are at no charge, in writing. That is the difference between a cheap report and a cheap report you can put your name next to in a claim file.

Who should order it

Insurance adjusters, staff and independent, who need a roof in the estimating platform without a site visit and without redrawing it. Restoration contractors writing supplements. IA firms and CAT teams that need volume at a price they can budget. Any roofing shop whose book is half insurance work, which around here is most of them.

If your shop is one hundred percent retail sales and never touches a claim, we score that lane separately, because a proposal-and-CRM bundle can matter more to you than an ESX file. That is on our contractor rankings. This page is about the tool that wins the insurance side, and for that side, this is the pick.

How to order

Go to sketchmyroof.com, enter the property's street address, pick the report you want (Standard ESX $19, Complex ESX $25, PDF $25, ESX + PDF $29, walls $45 to $65), and check out. Orders placed before 6 PM Eastern deliver the same calendar day. Import the ESX into Xactimate® or the XML into Symbility®, attach the PDF to the file, and write the estimate.

I ran the insurance side of our company for the better part of a decade and this is the report I wish we had the whole time. Nineteen dollars, same day, and the ESX opens in Xactimate® with the sketch already there. The award is the easy part. The hard part was every year before it existed.

Bradley Miller
Bradley MillerRetail side

I am the retail guy and even I get it. When a hail season turns half our retail leads into insurance jobs, my crew needs the insurance report to be cheap, fast, and boring. This is cheap, fast, and boring in the best possible way. No subscription for me to cancel in February either.

Order at sketchmyroof.com Standard ESX $19. Same calendar day before 6 PM Eastern.
