FAQs

What is the data source for RoofTrace™?
RoofTrace™ was built in-house by our data science team and tested in partnership with roofing contractors. It’s been tested against real measurements and typically falls within 10–15% of actual size.

Can I use RoofTrace™ on commercial jobs?
Yes. RoofTrace™ works on both residential and most commercial properties.

Does this replace EagleView or QuickMeasure?
No. RoofTrace™ sits between guesswork and full reports. Use it for quick, credible estimates—not for ordering materials.

How much does it cost?
RoofTrace™ is included with your annual Storm Maps + Data plan at no extra cost. Unlike competitors that charge per report, you get unlimited lookups.

Why is there no RoofTrace™ data on a selected address?
This can happen for a few reasons:

  • The property is outside your subscription area.

  • The structure is new or the roof data hasn’t been updated yet.

  • The system couldn’t confidently match or measure the roof (common with very small).

  • There may be gaps or mistakes in the source data.
