About Us

We built the roofing industry's measurement and pricing data set

Instant Roofer started with one question: why can a homeowner price a car in thirty seconds but have to wait a week to learn the cost to replace their roof? Answering it meant measuring roofs automatically and collecting real contractor pricing at scale. Today that data powers a free estimate for homeowners and a full tool set for the contractors who do the work.

Why we exist

Roofing ran on guesswork for a long time

Homeowners waited days for a salesperson to measure by hand. Contractors drove across a metro to measure a roof that was never going to buy. Both sides lost time on the same problem.

We automated the measurement, then paired it with pricing from the contractors who actually install the work. Across 1,021,354 measured roofs, the average is 2,588 square feet, about 26 squares, and asphalt shingle replacement runs $6.28 per square foot installed.

That data set is key to our company. It sets the estimate a homeowner sees, the market pricing a contractor competes against, and the feed publishers license through our API.

Measure first, then price

Every number on this site starts with a measurement of a real roof. We never publish an estimate that is not tied to geometry we can show you.

Publish the data, not just the claim

Cost by state, by city and by material, refreshed monthly and shown openly. If we say a roof costs a number, you can see where it came from.

One homeowner, one contractor

We do not sell the same homeowner to five companies. Consent is one to one, which is better for the homeowner and better for the close rate.

Tools priced for real crews

Measurement, quoting, scheduling and payments in one place, with a free trial and one flat price for continued access.
