Instant Satellite Quotes Are Here

Getting a roofing quote has always been a hassle. You call around, schedule two or three in-home appointments, take time off work, sit through a sales pitch, and then wait for a written estimate. The whole process takes one to two weeks before you even have a number to think about.

We built something different. Enter your address on our site, pick your shingle tier, and see your price. The whole thing takes about 90 seconds.

This isn't a guess based on your zip code or a "starting from" number that doubles once someone actually looks at your roof. It's a real quote based on satellite measurements of your actual roof — your square footage, your pitch, your complexity. Here's how it works under the hood.

What Happens When You Enter Your Address

When you type in your address, we send your location to Google's Solar API — the same satellite data platform Google uses for Project Sunroof and their solar panel calculations. Google has mapped the rooftop geometry of over 95% of buildings in the United States using high-resolution aerial and satellite imagery.

The API returns a digital surface model of your roof at 0.1 meter per pixel resolution. That's roughly four-inch accuracy. From this model, we extract the data that actually drives your roofing cost: total roof area in square feet, the pitch (slope) of each individual roof plane, the number of distinct facets (surfaces) on your roof, and the overall complexity of the roof geometry.

This isn't a single flat measurement. The system analyzes every plane of your roof separately. A simple gable roof might have two planes. A complex hip roof with dormers and valleys might have eight or more. Each plane has its own pitch angle, measured from the satellite data, converted to the standard rise-over-run format roofers use (like 6/12 or 9/12). The predominant pitch — the one on your largest roof section — becomes the primary driver in your pricing calculation.

What the Satellite Actually Sees

The satellite data gives us five things that matter for your quote.

First, total roof area. Not your home's floor plan square footage — your actual roof surface area, which is always larger because of pitch. A 2,500 square foot floor plan with a 6/12 pitch has roughly 2,800 square feet of actual roof surface. That difference is real money.

Second, pitch per plane. The system measures the slope of each roof section in degrees, then we convert to the standard roofing pitch format. Your main roof planes might be 6/12 while your garage section is 4/12 — we capture both.

Third, facet count. This is the number of distinct roof planes. More facets generally means more waste material, more cuts, more flashing, and more labor. A two-facet gable is simpler (and cheaper) than a twelve-facet multi-hip roof.

Fourth, complexity classification. Based on facet count and pitch variance, we categorize your roof as simple, moderate, or complex. A simple roof (one or two planes, consistent pitch) has a 1.0x multiplier. Moderate (three to six planes) adds about 10%. Complex (seven or more planes, or high pitch variance) adds about 30%. These multipliers directly reflect the real-world labor and material differences.

Fifth, steep vs. standard area. We separate your roof into standard-pitch and steep-pitch sections because steep work requires different safety equipment and slower installation — both of which cost more.

How Measurements Become a Price

Once we have your roof data, the pricing engine does the math. Your total square footage gets multiplied by the per-square-foot rate for each shingle tier — Good (standard architectural), Better (premium architectural), and Best (designer class). Then the pitch multiplier adjusts for slope: a 4/12 pitch adds about 5% over flat, a 9/12 adds about 25%, and a 12/12 adds about 41%. The complexity multiplier layers on top of that.

The result is three real numbers — one for each tier — tailored to your specific roof. Not a range, not an estimate, not a "contact us for pricing." Actual dollar amounts based on actual measurements.

We show you all three tiers side by side so you can see the tradeoffs. The Good package gets you a quality architectural shingle with a standard warranty. Better upgrades the materials and extends the warranty. Best gives you premium everything. The price difference between tiers is typically $2,000-$5,000 depending on roof size, which is useful context for making a decision.

How Accurate Is This?

Honest answer: very accurate for most homes, with a small margin for things satellites can't see.

The satellite measures your roof's exterior geometry with four-inch resolution. For surface area and pitch, that's comparable to a manual measurement by a contractor on your roof with a tape measure. The Google Solar dataset has been validated against millions of buildings and is the same data used to calculate solar panel placement — an application where measurement errors directly cost money.

What the satellite can't tell us is the condition of your decking (the plywood under the shingles), whether you have multiple layers of old shingles that need removal, or specific issues like rotted fascia or damaged flashing. These are things that get identified during the pre-installation inspection and can adjust the final price — but they're the same variables that every roofing quote handles through a site visit before work begins.

For roughly 90% of standard residential roofs, the satellite quote and the final invoice will be within a few percentage points of each other. For the other 10% — homes with unusual features, heavy tree cover obscuring the satellite view, or significant hidden damage — the site inspection catches the difference before any work starts.

What About Privacy?

We're not sending anyone to photograph your property. We're not capturing any new imagery at all.

The satellite data already exists in Google's database — it was collected as part of Google's ongoing aerial mapping programs. When you enter your address, we look up the roof geometry that's already been mapped. The data we receive is limited to roof measurements: area, pitch, and segment boundaries. We can't see inside your home, we can't see details of your yard, and we have no interest in either.

Your address is used for one purpose: looking up the measurements of your roof so we can give you an accurate price. No cameras, no data sold to third parties. Just math about the shape of your roof.

Why We Built This

I started Results Roofing because the traditional roofing quote process is broken in a way that hurts homeowners. The old model — call three companies, schedule three appointments, wait for three estimates — exists because it benefits the contractor, not the customer. It gives the sales team a captive audience for a pitch. It creates pressure through face-to-face interaction. And it wastes a staggering amount of everyone's time.

Satellite measurements don't replace the human parts of roofing. You still need skilled installers, quality materials, proper ventilation, and someone who stands behind the work. What satellite measurement replaces is the part that didn't need a human in the first place — the physical measurement of a roof that a satellite has already measured to four-inch accuracy.

We put people where people add value: answering your questions, inspecting your roof before work starts, installing your roof correctly, and being here when you need us afterward. We put technology where technology adds value: measuring roofs fast and accurately so you get a real number without wasting your week.

And if you want someone to come out and look at your roof in person before you commit? We'll absolutely do that. The satellite quote is a starting point that gives you a real number to plan around — not a pressure tactic.

Try It

The quote tool is live right now. Enter your address, see your roof measurements, and get pricing across three tiers. No account required, no email capture gate, no salesperson calling you ten minutes later.

If the number works for you, schedule your installation through the same portal. If you want to think about it, take all the time you need — the quote doesn't expire and nobody's going to chase you. This is roofing on your terms.
