AUTOMATIC ROOF MEASUREMENTS

§ MEASUREMENTS4 min READUPDATED 2026-08★ POPULAR

Run a free automatic roof report from the MEASUREMENTS tab and watch it complete live — no ladder, no tape measure.

Measuring a roof used to mean climbing it or paying a third party for every address. The MEASUREMENTS tab on each customer is a roof measurement hub that gives you four ways to get numbers — and the automatic pipeline is the one to reach for first, because it is free and runs on its own.

WHERE: CUSTOMERS → open a customer → MEASUREMENTS tab

§Run an automatic measurement

  1. 01Open the customer and go to the MEASUREMENTS tab.
  2. 02Tap + NEW MEASUREMENT to start the automatic roof-report pipeline.
  3. 03Watch the hub — it updates in real time, so the measurement’s progress and results appear without refreshing.
  4. 04Tap the finished row to open the full measurement report detail.

There is no charge for automatic measurements, so run one early — at lead intake or before the first site visit — and you walk in already knowing the roof.

§Reading the results

Every measurement on the customer lives as a row in the hub, and each row opens a measurement report detail. Because measurements stay attached to the customer, anyone on the team can pull the numbers later without re-running anything.

§Four ways to measure

The automatic pipeline is one of four paths on the same tab:

They complement each other: start automatic, trace by hand when you want direct control, import when a report already exists, and order certified when the job calls for it.

NOTE
Admins can set company-wide measurement preferences under MEASUREMENT DEFAULTS in company settings — a default roof pitch (from 4/12 to 10/12) and a default waste factor percentage.
