Roof measurements from satellite — $10, under 5 minutes.
Satellite roof measurements are AI-generated reports built from high-resolution overhead imagery and trained measurement models. A modern provider returns squares, pitch, ridge / hip / valley / eave linear footage, and a 3D model in under five minutes, at ±2–3% verified accuracy. RoofGenius prices these at $10 per report (or $0–$9 on subscription) — typically 80–90% cheaper than aircraft-flown alternatives like EagleView.
High-resolution overhead imagery refined by AI measurement models trained on millions of validated roofs.
Total squares, predominant pitch and per-facet pitch, ridge / hip / valley / eave / rake linear footage.

How AI satellite roof measurement actually works
Satellite imagery providers refresh overhead photography on a rolling 6–24 month cycle across the US. A measurement model layers on top: computer-vision detection of roof facets, edge classification (ridge vs. hip vs. valley vs. rake), pitch inference from shadow and parallax, and area calculation per facet. The output is functionally identical to a manned-aircraft EagleView report — squares, pitch, every linear foot.
Modern AI satellite reports are accurate to ±2.5–3% on-roof verified. The remaining gap to EagleView's ±1.5% mostly shows up on extreme cut-up cottages with dormers stacked over dormers — geometry that confuses both providers. For 90% of residential and light commercial roofs, the difference is inside material waste tolerance.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate are satellite roof measurements?+
Modern AI satellite measurements run ±2.5–3.0% on-roof verified. EagleView's manned-aircraft imagery is slightly tighter at ±1.5%. Manual tape measurements typically run ±4–9% error depending on roof complexity and the measurer's experience.
How do roof measurements from satellite work?+
Providers pull high-resolution satellite imagery, run computer-vision models trained on millions of validated roofs to detect facets, edges, and pitch transitions, then output total squares, pitch per facet, and linear footage of every roof line. The best providers also generate a 3D model for visualization.
Can a satellite roof measurement replace an EagleView report?+
For retail bidding, storm canvassing, and most insurance carriers — yes. State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, and Travelers accept satellite reports from RoofGenius. A handful of carrier desks still specify EagleView; for those one-off claims, run EagleView and use satellite reports for everything else.
How fast does a satellite roof measurement return?+
RoofGenius returns satellite reports in under five minutes — fast enough to pull during the homeowner appointment. Other satellite providers range from instant to 6 hours. EagleView (manned aircraft, not pure satellite) ranges from 30 minutes to 24 hours.
What does a satellite roof measurement cost?+
RoofGenius: $10 per report, or $0–$9 on subscription. Roofr: $19–$35 per report. GAF QuickMeasure: $17–$30. Hover (hybrid satellite + photo): $30–$70. EagleView Premium: $55–$95.
