Address-based roof takeoff
Start with a property address and get a preliminary roof takeoff workflow that labels the data source behind the result. MyRoofGenius uses open public data, USGS 3DEP LiDAR where available, aerial context, and review-gated estimate tools so contractors can see what should be trusted and what still needs field verification.
Address
Start with the property location instead of a blank takeoff sheet.
Source labels
See whether open data, LiDAR, aerial, or photo context informed the draft.
Review first
Use the output as contractor review context before client-facing work.
The address workflow turns a property location into a preliminary takeoff context: roof area, pitch cues, facets where available, waste assumptions, and bid notes that a contractor can review.
Open-data roof measurement is only useful when the source is visible. MyRoofGenius labels whether the draft used USGS 3DEP LiDAR where available, aerial imagery, AI-assisted photo review, or manual estimator context.
The practical output is a bid-ready starting point, not a promise that every roof is final from public data. It organizes quantity context, assumptions, and next checks so the estimator can move faster while staying accountable.
Address-based takeoff is strongest for early screening, fast bid setup, and comparing likely scope before a site walk. Final bid quantities still belong to the qualified contractor or estimator.
Open-data and AI-assisted takeoffs are estimator support. Verify measurements, roof access, roof-system details, and unusual geometry before customer-facing use.
You can start a preliminary takeoff from an address. The available output depends on public data coverage, aerial context, and whether LiDAR or photo inputs are available. Verify critical dimensions before field or client use.
No. It is a source-labeled estimating aid. Field checks, site conditions, access, obstructions, and roof-system details can change the final bid.
The workflow can use USGS 3DEP LiDAR where coverage is available. When that source is not available, the page should be treated as aerial, photo, or manual review context instead.
The free path lets contractors start the roof-analysis workflow and use public tools before deciding whether a paid review and report workflow fits their operation.
Yes. MyRoofGenius is built to move reviewed quantities, assumptions, and estimate context toward PDF report and proposal draft workflows after contractor review.
