Quick answerPrice is set by format and roof complexity, not by how fast you need it. Published rates from Sketch My Roof, the site sponsor: Standard ESX $19, Complex-roof ESX $25, PDF-only $25, ESX + PDF $29, wall reports $45 to $65. Same calendar day delivery before the 6 PM Eastern cutoff carries no rush fee, and there is no subscription.

What changes the price

Three variables set the number on a roof report invoice: the file format you request, whether the roof qualifies as complex, and whether you are ordering a roof report or a wall report. Everything else, including how many facets your adjuster count guessed at from the street or how urgent the file feels, is irrelevant to the price.

Format matters because the deliverable is different work product. An ESX file has to open cleanly inside Xactimate® with sketch geometry intact. A PDF is a static exhibit. Ordering both from one request costs more than ordering one, but less than ordering each separately, which is why the combined ESX + PDF line exists on the menu.

Complexity matters because a roof with many facets, valleys, and dormers takes more line items to represent accurately than a simple hip or gable. The published menu prices a Complex-roof ESX above a Standard ESX for that reason. If you are not sure which bucket your roof falls into before you order, the order page description is the place to check, not a guess based on curb view.

What does not change the price

Turnaround is not a pricing lever here. Same calendar day delivery for orders placed before the 6 PM Eastern cutoff is the standard published turnaround, not an upgrade you pay extra to unlock. There is no rush fee, no expedite tier, and no penalty for ordering at 5:55 PM instead of 9 AM.

Order volume does not change the unit price either. There is no subscription and no minimum, so a single-file adjuster and a desk running high volume pay the same posted rate per report. If your firm is comparing vendors on volume pricing, that comparison has to happen on their published terms directly; it is not something this article can quote because the sponsor fact sheet does not carry volume figures.

Geography within the report's coverage area is not a price driver. A property in a dense suburb and a property on a rural parcel cost the same, provided the address resolves to a structure the report can be built from.

Cost drivers, one at a time

  • File format requested (ESX, PDF, ESX + PDF, or XML)

    Each format is a distinct deliverable with its own line on the menu; combining formats costs more than ordering one alone.

  • Roof complexity (standard versus complex classification)

    More facets and transitions cost more to represent accurately, which is reflected in the Complex-roof ESX rate.

  • Report type: roof versus wall

    Wall reports are priced on a separate scale ($45 to $65) because they are a different product from a roof measurement report.

  • Timing of the order relative to the cutoff

    This affects which calendar day delivery lands on. It does not affect the invoice total.

  • Number of reports ordered

    There is no subscription and no minimum, so each order is priced independently at the posted rate.

How to budget for it on a file

Treat the report as a line item you enter before you touch the estimate, not an afterthought. Once you know the format the estimate platform needs and whether the roof looks complex enough to warrant the higher tier, the cost is fixed and known before you submit the order.

If a file might go to litigation or reinspection later, ordering ESX + PDF from the start avoids a second order later for the exhibit format you did not think you needed. That is a workflow decision, not a discount; the combined price is simply what the combined deliverable costs.

For wall claims running alongside a roof claim, order the wall report as its own line rather than assuming it is bundled with the roof report; the two are separate products on separate pricing.

Where to place the order

Orders are placed by property address on the Sketch My Roof roof measurement reports order page, where the format selector shows the current price before you submit. Desks working inside Verisk™ workflows can review Xactimate® Integration ordering for how the file lands in that pipeline. Menus vary by version and by account setup; verify the current options and pricing in your own build before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rush ordering cost more?
No. Same calendar day delivery for orders placed before the 6 PM Eastern cutoff is the standard published turnaround, not a paid upgrade. There is no separate rush fee.
Why is a Complex-roof ESX priced higher than a Standard ESX?
The classification reflects the roof itself: more facets, valleys, and transitions take more work to represent accurately in the file. That is reflected in the published rate difference between Standard ESX ($19) and Complex-roof ESX ($25).
Is there a discount for ordering many reports?
There is no subscription and no minimum on the published menu, meaning each report is priced individually at the posted rate rather than through a volume tier.
Are wall reports priced the same as roof reports?
No. Wall reports are a separate product priced from $45 to $65 depending on format, distinct from the roof measurement menu.
If I order ESX + PDF instead of just ESX, what am I paying for?
You are paying for two deliverables from one order: the ESX file for Xactimate® and the PDF exhibit for the claim file, priced at $29 combined versus ordering the formats separately.
