How it works
RoofMetric uses Meta's Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), the same vision AI that powers Facebook's smart cropping, combined with Google's Solar API for pitch and surface-area data. The result: you point at a roof in the satellite view, the AI traces it accurately enough for residential bidding in seconds.
The flow:
- Type the customer's address. The map zooms to that property.
- Click anywhere on the roof.
- AI traces the outline in 2 to 4 seconds.
- Drag corners to refine if needed (rare, usually accurate first try).
- Squares, pitch, perimeter, eaves, ridges, and rake all auto-calculate.
How accurate is it?
For residential roofs visible on current satellite imagery, AI tracing is consistently within 2 to 3% of surveyor-grade measurements. We pull pitch from Google's Solar API where available (most US suburbs), and fall back to your regional pitch default if not.
For situations needing court-defensible numbers (large hail-damage insurance claims, public agency bids), we recommend using EagleView or HOVER for THAT specific job and importing the PDF, RoofMetric extracts the measurements automatically.
What about garages, sheds, multi-building lots?
Click each building separately. The AI handles the house, the detached garage, the shed in the back, each gets its own outline and joins the same estimate. The total square footage is summed across all buildings.
The rest of the job, not just the measurement
Detecting the roof outline automatically saves minutes. The parts of the week that cost hours are the calls that went to voicemail and the paperwork that waits until tax season.
Front Desk: a business line that rings your phone
A real business phone number for your company, built in. Place and answer calls, keep a shared call log the whole team can see, and text customers from a number that is not your cell. Incoming calls ring your iPhone with the standard call screen, on the lock screen, whether the app is open or closed. Every paid plan includes a real business phone number, free, with 120 minutes a month. See how Front Desk works.
Tax Central: expenses, receipts and W-9s
Track business expenses by job and by Schedule C category, so profit per job is a number you can see rather than one you work out in January. Scan a receipt with your camera, and collect a signed W-9 from every subcontractor you pay.
Timeclock: clock in from the truck, approve from the office
Your crew clocks in and out from the app with a location stamp on every punch, logs breaks as they take them, and submits each shift for approval when it ends. Owners, admins and team leaders approve or correct time for the people under them, and approved hours export as a CSV for payroll. Included with Platinum and Enterprise at no charge. On every other paid plan it is a flat monthly add-on for the whole company, not per user, and trials can use it during the trial. See what each plan includes.
Front Desk, Tax Central and Timeclock, answered
Does RoofMetric include a business phone number?
Yes. Every paid plan includes a real business phone number at no extra cost, with 120 minutes a month. You pick your own local number in about thirty seconds. Calls and texts run from the app or a browser and always show the business number rather than a personal cell, and every call files itself against the customer it came from.
What does the AI receptionist actually do?
Turn on the AI receptionist and she answers when you cannot. She knows your services, your hours and your service area, books estimates straight onto your calendar, takes a message when the caller needs a person, and emails you the recording and a summary. Both sides are told the call is recorded, and recording can be switched off. It is optional: the business line works on its own with your team answering.
Do incoming calls ring the phone when the app is closed?
Yes, on iPhone. Front Desk calls ring with the standard iPhone call screen, on the lock screen, whether the app is open, in the background or closed, and appear in Recents like any other call. An Android build is in development with no release date announced.
Can I track expenses and 1099 paperwork in RoofMetric?
Yes, in Tax Central. Track business expenses by job and by Schedule C category, scan a receipt with your camera to fill in the vendor, amount and category, and collect a signed W-9 from every subcontractor you pay. Taxpayer numbers are encrypted and shown only as the last four digits.
Does RoofMetric have a timeclock for my crew?
Yes. Timeclock lets each person clock in and out from the app, pick the job they are on, and log breaks as they take them, with a location stamp on every punch. Shifts are submitted for approval when they end; owners and admins see everyone, team leaders see the people under them, and employees request corrections rather than editing the record. Approved hours export as a CSV for payroll. Included with Platinum and Enterprise at no charge. On every other paid plan it is a flat monthly add-on for the whole company, not per user, and trials can use it during the trial.
