Sample roofing takeoff
A real takeoff we did from a public bid set: Leon County (TX) 2025 Roof Improvements, construction drawings dated 2025-09-30, sheets R-2.0 (Annex 1) and R-2.2 (Probation), 1/4" = 1'-0". Each colour is one measured roof plane.
- 7 roof planes: 6,503 SF plan, 6,535 SF sloped = 65.4 squares (71.9 with 10% waste)
- Probation: ridge 39 LF, eaves 78 LF, rakes 155.5 LF (sloped), wall panel top closures 232 LF
- Annex 1: perimeter edge and sealant 256 LF, lower-roof flashing 85 LF; 6 vents, 2 curbs, 1 pipe penetration
- Slopes not printed on the sheet are marked "assumed" on the plan and in the Excel

Sample. Not an accuracy claim. Check any takeoff against your bid set before pricing.
What is in a roofing takeoff
Each roof plane measured with its pitch, totals in squares, and the linear lengths that drive starter, ridge cap, drip edge and flashing orders. You get the Excel sheet plus the roof plan with each plane marked, so the count is easy to check.
From plans, not satellite
We measure from your construction drawings, which suits new builds and additions where there is no roof to photograph yet. Waste factor is yours to set on the sheet.

Questions
Do you need a pitch on the plan?
Yes, from the roof plan or elevations. If a pitch is missing we flag it on the sheet instead of guessing.
What files do you take?
PDF plan sets are best. We also take image files (PNG, JPG, TIFF). For large sets, paste a Dropbox, Google Drive or plan room link in the form.
How fast do I get it?
Within 48 hours of the plan reaching us. Tell us your bid date in the form.
What do I get back?
An Excel quantity sheet and a marked-up plan PDF, so you can see what was counted where.
How do I check the takeoff?
Every quantity on the sheet points to a marked-up area on the plan. Spot-check any room or roof plane against the drawing before you price it.
What does it cost after the free plan?
$100 a plan, or $399 a month for up to 10 plans. No contract.
Do you price the job for me?
Yes, if you want. By default we do the quantities and you price them; send your material prices, labor rates and markup and we add the pricing.
Is my plan kept private?
Your plans are used only for your takeoff and are never shared. Ask and we delete them.
