The Instant Roofer Data Platform

Real-Time Roof Measurement, Pricing, and Contractor Insights Across the U.S.

Instant Roofer operates and updates the nation’s largest roofing data platform. Every roof measurement and estimate shown and calculated on our site is powered by live data.  Imagery and three dimensional data power our measurements and our contractor network provides our real time pricing. Updated daily, our system provides a snapshot of residential roofing costs, the most accurate residential roofing measuring technology and contractor activity in America.

Measurement Section

Every time a homeowner enters their address, our system automatically measures their roof using imagery and 3D data. These measurements include facet, pitch, waste and complexity calculations.

To ensure reliability, every roof measurement is timestamped, stored, and recalculated with any change to our base imagery source or measurement algorithm. This process guarantees consistency and precision across all data served on our website and through our API with up to 99% accuracy.

Estimate Section

Our national roofing cost data is built from the ground up using actual contractor pricing and verified homeowner estimates. We standardize all pricing inputs before averaging, so users get a realistic reflection of real market rates.

Each day, our system compiles thousands of data points including:

  • Verified contractor pricing by zip code
  • Material and labor cost trends
  • Real homeowner estimate requests

The resulting averages represent the most current roofing cost index available to consumers and industry professionals alike.

1. Contractor Supplied Pricing

Contractors who join our platform provide pricing for the roofing materials and services they provide. These prices are tied to their service area keeping estimate results localized.

2. Standardized Roofing Materials

To keep comparisons consistent, we focus on widely used residential roofing materials:

Excluded materials include custom and/or specialty roofing materials.

3. Homeowner Inputs

When a homeowner requests an estimate, we match their address and project details with local contractor pricing in our system. This ensures the estimate reflects real market conditions in their region.

4. Data Aggregation

Every day we aggregate pricing data from contractors, then calculate averages across the United States, by state, and by city (if available).

5. Daily Updates

  • The estimate data is refreshed every 24 hours via our system, ensuring it reflects the most recent contractor pricing and homeowner inputs.

Why Our Estimates Are Accurate

  • Our AI tech is the fastest and most accurate roof measuring technology in the industry making sure estimates generated start from a solid measurement base.
  • Contractors on our platform regularly update pricing for materials and labor, keeping data current.
  • When a homeowner uses our tools through our calculator or partner websites, the system pulls real contractor data to generate estimates.
  • The result is localized and in real-time.

Localized and Real Time Insights

Here’s an example of how our localized pricing works:

  • A homeowner in Seattle, Washington, receives an estimate based on contractor pricing for roofing materials and labor in the Seattle area.
  • A homeowner in New York City receives an estimate based on local contractor pricing specific to the New York region.

Connect Section

Our contractor network is composed of roofing professionals across all 50 states. Each contractor provides real pricing data and confirms their active service areas, which allows our platform to display accurate, location-based contractor availability. Each contractor has their number of Google reviews and star rating clearly displayed so homeowners can choose the contractor that best meets their desired combination of price, review count and review rating.

1. Contractor Counts

  • Each geographic page on our site clearly displays the total number of roofing contractors on our platform that service that location.

2. Location Specific Contractor Data

  • When you visit a page for a specific city or state, the Connect section shows how many contractors serve that region.

3. Data Collection

  • Contractors provide their service areas, materials offered, pricing, and other details when signing up. Our system organizes them by region for accurate local counts.

4. Daily Updates

  • Contractor counts refresh every 24 hours so you’re viewing accurately with up-to-date figures.

Why This Matters to Homeowners

Homeowners benefit because they can:

  • See how many contractors operate in their area, which helps gauge market competition and availability.
  • Gain confidence that they’ll receive localized, competitive estimates from our network.
  • Look in one place for the contractor that best suits your project rather than having to go to multiple sites to understand pricing and review data.
