Frequently Asked Questions

iRoofing is a portable measurement, estimate, and sales software designed to help contractors save time, increase sales, and grow their business. iRoofing provides contractors with the necessary tools to create their own satellite measurement reports on-the-spot, eliminating the high cost and turnaround time associated with ordering reports from third-party companies. In addition, iRoofing features customizable sales tools for giving in-home presentations to property owners – including the Roof Visualizer – which is used to show homeowners how products will look upon installation using a photo of their own home.

  1. Download and purchase a 1-month or 1-year membership to iRoofing
  2. Schedule a quick training session to start saving money immediately
  3. Customize your app for impressive client presentations, including your own digital “pitchbook”
  4. Create an unlimited number of DIY roof reports and estimates
  5. Simulate a new roof on an image of your customer’s home or building and close the deal fast.

We have improved our system by allowing a single iRoofing user’s email to access multiple devices, non-concurrently. There is no longer a need for users to “de-register” their old device(s). However, multiple users can use the app simultaneously, as long as they have different usernames/email addresses.

iRoofing works on most portable devices, including iPads with iOS 9.4 or newer; iPhones with iOS 11.4 or newer; and Android phones & tablets with version 11 operating system or newer. For further details, click here.

Yes! No matter which plan you choose, you will have unlimited access to every iRoofing feature!

Clearoof™ and Clearoof+ provide high definition aerial imagery captured by specially-equipped aircraft. The images are updated on a regular basis. Subscribers to the iRoofing app can choose overhead images from prior months/seasons. This means that satellite images of a property obscured by foliage in springtime can be seen more clearly, and in higher definition than satellite, by choosing a Clearoof™ image captured during wintertime when leaves are off the trees. Clearoof™ covers most U.S. population centers, and the database continues to expand as image providers capture more and more vicinities throughout North America, including Canada. 

Clearoof™ is a source for high definition aerial photographs built into the iRoofing software. iRoofing app users select “tiles” from a grid overlayed on the property. Each iRoofing account is provided a total of 150 FREE credits per month for the basic plan (3 devices). Each additional device adds another 50 credits to the company. 150 credits can account for numerous properties. The number of properties one can measure with Clearoof™ images vary based on roof images’ surface areas. Each month, the 150 FREE Clearoof™ credits renews automatically. Unused credits from the prior month do not roll-over to the current month. Extra Clearoof™ credits can be purchased and added to an iRoofing account, normally within the same day the extra credits are requested. 

If you find you need more credits than the 150 credits provided FREE every month, iRoofing offers Clearoof™ plans (see below). Purchase of extra credits are a 1-time charge and these extra credits are only used once your FREE allotment is depleted. To purchase extra Clearoof™ credits contact us at 800-646-6270. 

  • Recurring extra 100 credits billed monthly @ $20
  • Recurring extra 220 credits billed monthly @ $40
  • Recurring extra 360 credits billed monthly @ $60
  • Recurring extra 520 credits billed monthly @ $80
  • One-time charge for extra 250 credits @ $50
  • One-time charge for extra 500 credits @ $90
  • One-time charge for extra 1000 credits @ $160

No. While there are points at which a visit to the property will be necessary, such as inspections and installations, every measurement, estimate, sales presentation and closing task can be done remotely with a high degree of accuracy and customer satisfaction. Even some  inspections can be done using a drone.

Frequently Asked Questions

No! As an iRoofing member, there is no limit to the number of reports you can create. However, you cannot resale or redo reports for others.

Yes! iRoofing can be used to create measure reports from blueprints. Simply use the Scale Verify tool to enter one verified on-site measurement, and the rest of your measurement will adjust accordingly, always giving you the highest accuracy possible.

Drone imagery can be one of the most accurate ways to obtain detailed roof measurements, but there are a few tips in order to obtain the best results.

Fly the drone to at least 325 feet above the property.  Drones purchased through iRoofing are equipped with a high-quality camera that provides excellent resolution at altitudes up to 400 feet!

 

Center the drone directly above the home or building and attempt to “square up” the roof image, so it appears as straight as possible.

 

To calculate scale, one known measurement must be input into the iRoofing measurement tool, such as the front eave of the home or building, see below. 

 

Upload the drone images into the iRoofing app.  

 

Start measuring the roof with the iRoofing software, adding the dimensions of the kown measurement, i.e, length of front eave. Then, use iRoofing’s Scale Verify option to populate correct measurements for all roof parts automatically.

 

Do NOT attempt to edit the photos in an external application in order to fix distortions, perspective, etc.

  • iRoofing measurements are between 98-99% accurate. Since you create your own reports, every iRoofing membership includes free & unlimited training from the comfort of your home or office to ensure that your measurements are highly accurate. You can always dial-in the accuracy even further by using our field verification system.

Yes! While we highly encourage clients to take advantage of our instant DIY measurement tool in order to save time and money, iRoofing does give you the ability to order measurement reports from our third-party partner. Ordered reports cost a flat-rate of $30 for residential properties of any size. Since iRoofing customers take priority, measurement reports are received within 24 hours.

  • Step 1: From your home screen in the iRoofing app, click “Measure,” and on the resulting pop-up window, click “Order Measurement Report.”
  • Step 2: Complete the required fields for the property and receipient, and submit your report order.

It’s easy to subtract areas for vents, skylights and flashing from your roof measurement area. Simply follow these steps!
