ROOFING ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Bidding Mistakes With Exact Roof Area & Accessory Quantities.
Bidding commercial flat roofs, steep-slope residential roofs, or metal standing seam systems requires exact geometrical quantification. Failing to account for roof pitch multipliers, missing waste factors for valleys and hips, underestimating tapered insulation schemes, or ignoring parapet wall flashings can devour contractor margins. Archixen delivers fast, reliable, and highly detailed roofing quantity takeoffs directly from your project blueprints.
Our roofing estimating team utilizes industry-leading digital software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to calculate precise roof surface areas in roofing squares (100 sq. ft.), slope pitch multipliers, lineal footage for hips, ridges, valleys, eaves, and rakes, as well as exact quantities for underlayment, TPO/EPDM/PVC membranes, insulation boards, fastener counts, and metal flashings.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow contractors, suppliers, and distributors to apply custom labor production rates and material pricing instantly. Win more commercial and residential roofing contracts with total confidence in your numbers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are your roofing takeoff services provided online?
Yes! We provide 100% digital roofing quantity takeoffs online. All deliverables (editable Excel sheets and color-coded PDF markups) are delivered via secure digital download.
What format will my roofing takeoff be delivered in?
You will receive an editable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing pitch-adjusted surface areas (in Roofing Squares), bundle/roll/sheet counts, linear trim footages, and fastener counts, along with color-coded Bluebeam PDF markups.
How do you account for roof pitch and slope in your takeoffs?
We calculate flat surface areas and apply standard pitch pitch multipliers (e.g., 1.054 for 4/12, 1.201 for 8/12, 1.414 for 12/12) to derive true roof surface areas.
Do you calculate tapered insulation crickets and slope packages?
Yes. For low-slope commercial roofs, we calculate tapered Polyiso board quantities, starting thicknesses, cricket configurations, and cover board requirements.
What documents do I need to send to get a roofing takeoff quote?
Simply upload your architectural floor plans, roof plans, roof details, exterior elevations, and roofing specs (PDF or CAD files) via our online quote form.
How quickly can you complete a roofing takeoff?
Most standard residential and commercial roofing takeoffs are completed within 24 to 48 hours. Larger commercial or complex industrial projects are scheduled based on your bid deadline.
