What RoofCalc does today, and what it doesn't yet

Measure a roof from an address

Type an address and get the roof area in square feet, a facet count and a complexity rating, saved to your account.

How: The address is geocoded, then RoofCalc tries its data sources in order and uses the first one that returns a building. Each successful measurement is saved to your account.

Not yet: Squares and pitch are calculated but not on the result screen yet. If no source has the building, you get a "no building data" message; drawing the outline by hand is not built yet.

Google Solar roof data, OpenStreetMap fallback

Paid plans try Google Solar building data (sloped roof segments and pitch) first. Every plan falls back to OpenStreetMap building footprints.

How: Solar results are graded by imagery quality (high, medium, low) and the grade is returned with the result (not on screen yet). By default, Solar results from imagery taken April to October (leaves on the trees) are skipped in favour of the fallback. The OpenStreetMap path uses the building footprint, and for pitch uses the building's map tag when there is one, otherwise a regional or building-type estimate, because a footprint carries no slope.

Not yet: A LiDAR source is in the code but not part of any plan yet. Footprint estimation and manual tracing tiers are not built.

Confidence score and data source with every result

Every measurement comes back with the data source that produced it, a confidence score, and why better sources were skipped for that address.

How: The engine records every source it tried and the reason it failed (no key, low imagery quality, no footprint), and returns that list with the result.

Not yet: The app shows a two-level label; the score, source name and skipped sources are in the API response but not on screen yet.

Save your job rates

Save your price per square foot, tear-off per layer, decking per sheet, disposal fee and margin on your account.

How: Your rates are stored on your account from the pricing settings screen in the app.

Not yet: Applying your rates to a measurement to build a quote is not connected in the app yet, and quotes cannot be saved or sent. Saving rates may not work yet in Safari or other browsers that block third-party cookies.

Measurement history

Every measurement you run is saved with its address, area, confidence and data source, and listed in the app.

How: Measurements are written to your account when they succeed and listed newest first.

Not yet: The detail view for a saved measurement is not wired to your data yet.

Dashboard and measurement credits

See your measurements, activity and remaining credits on one dashboard.

How: One credit is used per successful measurement; failed lookups do not use a credit.
