Measure any roof from your phone... before your competitor's ladder is even off the truck. Instant Roofer turns aerial imagery, 3D data and machine learning into bid-ready roof measurements in seconds. Built for roofing contractors and estimators who would rather be closing jobs than climbing shingles. POINT. MEASURE. QUOTE. Pull up a property, run an AI measurement, and walk away with every number an estimator needs — plus an interactive 3D model you can spin, zoom, and show the homeowner on the spot. KEY FEATURES • AI roof measurements from aerial imagery — no ladder required • Interactive 3D roof views: facets, wireframe, and measurement overlays (BETA) • The full numbers: pitch, waste, headwalls, sidewalls, roof height, and recommended squares (BETA) • On-site pitch capture with your phone's camera and sensors, pinned to the exact spot you measured • Polished PDF reports — email one to the customer before you leave the driveway • Job site photos and videos, organized by lead and customer • Human-certified reports on demand when the stakes are high • Built for the field: uploads queue offline and sync when you're back in signal • Optional GPS to find and measure nearby properties CLOSE MORE.
