Use a property address to begin a preliminary roofing estimate from public USGS NAIP aerial context and USGS 3DEP LiDAR where available. MyRoofGenius keeps the source label visible so a contractor can decide what needs field verification before a bid is sent.
USGS NAIP aerial imagery shows visual roof context. USGS 3DEP LiDAR can add elevation context where public coverage is available. They are different sources, and the safest estimating workflow labels which source influenced the draft.
The workflow begins with an address, then assembles roof measurement context, waste assumptions, roof-system notes, and estimate inputs into a reviewable draft.
Source-labeled means the estimator can see whether a number came from aerial review, open public data, LiDAR context, photo analysis, or manual assumptions. That makes review faster and safer.
Roofing estimates depend on roof assembly, access, tear-off, substrate, penetrations, material selection, labor conditions, and local pricing. Public aerial and LiDAR context can speed up the first draft, but they do not remove those judgment calls.
USGS NAIP aerial context and USGS 3DEP LiDAR where available can accelerate the first draft. Final scope, quantities, and pricing still require contractor review and local judgment.
