What is an Aerial Roof Measurement Report

by Aerial Roof MeasurementSatellite Roof Measurement
In most cases, satellite and aerial roof measurement technology is 99% accurate, if you follow a few simple rules. Achieving accurate roof measurements manually isn’t any different. A manual roof takeoff by one roofer can easily vary from that of another.

a2 = b2 + c2 – the square of the length of the hypotenuse (a) equals the squares of the lengths of the opposite sides of a right triangle (b) and (c). Given a2 we use our calculator to take the square root and bingo, we have the length of the sloping side of the roof.
To calculate your roof area, simply multiply your roof length by your roof slope height, and multiply this by two. This should give you the total area of your roof, not accounting for a chimney or other sections of your roof not covered by tiles.
If you know the roof’s angle in degrees, you can find the roof pitch by converting the angle in degrees to a slope, then finding the rise by multiplying the slope by 12. First, find the slope by finding the tangent of the degrees, e.g. slope = tan(degrees). Then multiply the slope by 12 to get the rise.

A roofing square is an area of roof that measures 10 by 10 feet to make up a total of 100 square ft. This critical unit of measurement helps your contractor determine how much material they’ll need to order for your roofing project, from underlayment to bundles of roof shingles.
Multiply the effective length and width of the sheet to obtain the effective surface area. For example, if the effective width is 2.5 feet and the length is 7.5 feet, multiply 2.5 by 7.5. The result, 18.75 square feet, is the area each sheet will actually cover.

How do I get an accurate roof measurement?

Measure the base area of your property

That will be the roof base width. Then, measure the distance of the other side of the structure from the edge of the eave to the other. That will be the roof base length. Multiply those figures together to get an estimate of the base area for the roof structure.
 

How do I figure out how many square My roof is?

Roof surfaces are measured in “squares”. A roofing square is equal to 100 square feet of the roof. To determine the number of squares on the gable roof example in this post, divide its total of 2400 square feet by 100 (2400 ÷ 100 = 24). This means you would need 24 squares of shingles to cover that roof.

Is it OK to reroof over old shingles?

Installing a new roof over shingles takes less time than tearing off the old roof. Looks just as good and lasts as long. As long as it’s done right and under the right conditions, installing new shingles over old ones can last as long and look just as good as a complete re-roof. Has the same manufacturer’s warranty.
 

How long does a 30 year roof really last?

The expected service life of a 30-year product, if properly cared for, is approximately 25 years. If it’s not cared for properly, that 30 year shingle will only last 12 to 15 years. That’s one of the big misconceptions in the roofing marketplace.
Roofing material that lasts the longest are concrete, clay or slate tiles. These materials significantly outperform other natural products like wood shakes or any manufactured roofing materials including asphalt shingles and metal roofing.

Efficient, cost-effective roofing work depends on your ability to quickly and accurately gather measurements and assess the current roof condition. Improve your responsiveness to customers by replacing countless site visits with online roof measuring tools using recent aerial photos. Take traffic and safety risk out of the equation and produce fast, accurate quotes with the power of high resolution aerial maps. 

It’s quite a challenge to fly over the right location during the perfect window in time late winter or early spring. You want the capture to be snow-free, but must act quickly before the trees go green. You also need cooperative clear skies and adequate daylight – more difficult during short winter days. However detailed aerial capture plans may be, survey teams must still adapt on the fly and follow opportunity. You must learn to adapt quickly, and nimbly deploy aerial assets as opportunities present.

Take Chicago, for example – the time between last snow and first bloom can often be measured in days, or at best a few weeks. Clear weather aerial capture is difficult, but the ability for roofers to accurately measure what’s typically obscured by nature is essential.

Aerial vs. Satellite vs. Drones

There has been a move away from the satellite imagery that dominated measuring and site-surveying for the previous decade. There’s a couple of reasons for this, the main one being quality. No matter how good the camera on a satellite may be, it’s still in outer space. By being closer to the earth’s surface,  a high-quality camera on an airplane is going to capture a clearer, sharper image. 

What about imagery from a drone? With drone-captured imagery, you have the same problem you have with satellite captures, distance. Drone cameras historically have had wide-angle lenses, causing distortion of rooflines at low altitudes. We have no problem with drone-captured imagery, it’s often the best, and sometimes the only source for rural addresses that lack coverage by satellite and aerial imagery. To overcome the distortion, we suggest flying your drone to a minimum altitude of 400 feet. At that height, any visible distortion should be negligible, and you can make good use of your up-to-date drone imagery! That leads us to our next point…

What factors determine the price of a roof?

Type of Roofing  –  The material type that you purchase for your roof affects the bid price. There is a basic 3 tab or 3 in 1 style, Architectural or Laminated (Most Common) and then you designer or premium level shingles. Each of the major manufacturers will have their own individual characteristics, the thicker the shingle the heavier it will be rated for durability.

Pitch – The steeper the roof the steeper the price! Steeper roofs require additional safety precautions and create slower installation speeds. This additional labor required will add to the total cost of the job.

Height – Similar to the roof’s pitch affect on price, the higher the roof typically the higher the price. Most companies will charge an additional amount for 2 or 3 story access.

Allowance For Growth And Change

Since technology has thrived over the past few years and is consistently growing and changing, using satellite imagery allows for the ability of homeowners and contractors to grow and change with reducing risk and potential damages that could occur when obtaining roof measurements. In addition by getting more accurate readings and measurements on the roofs, the expenses that are required are reduced as they are more accurately acquired and they take fewer visits to obtain the calculation or measurements. In addition, satellite measurements have the ability to give homeowners the exact square footage even though the slopes and steeps of the home. This can increase contractors companies proficiency and accuracy to help homeowners increase the longevity of their homes because the repairs will be done more professionally. Moreover, contractors and homeowners can measure roof from a satellite for free with the programs that are available online, thus saving them time, claims, flexibility, and materials for roofing jobs.
