Is there a free alternative to GAF QuickMeasure?

Measuring the roof yourself is. RoofStruct’s free plan includes free, unlimited self-serve measuring and PDF reports, no card. You trace the roof instead of ordering it, so it takes your time, usually minutes.

How fast is GAF QuickMeasure?

GAF lists delivery in under an hour for single-family homes and under 24 hours for multi-family buildings (per GAF, Oct 2026). With RoofStruct, a self-serve measurement takes as long as your trace.

Does GAF QuickMeasure give an ESX file for Xactimate?

An ESX file isn’t listed on the GAF pages we checked (Oct 2026); an XML data file is. RoofStruct sells ESX sketch orders, geometry only, opened in your own Xactimate.

Can RoofStruct measure the roof for me?

Yes, as a paid order. A technician measures the roof and a second one checks it, usually delivered within 4 hours. Turnaround varies with volume and complexity.

How they differ

QuickMeasure is an ordered report: you send GAF an address, and a measurement comes back. GAF lists delivery in under an hour for single-family homes and under 24 hours for multi-family buildings. Each report includes an editable 3D rendering and a GAF bill of materials for the takeoff, and an XML data file is listed. It is available nationwide in the US, excluding Alaska (per GAF, Oct 2026).

RoofStruct is a tool you measure with. Pull up the address on satellite imagery or upload your own drone or phone photo, trace the facets, label the edges and set the pitch. The Cost & Takeoff worksheet and water-flow analysis come on every plan, and the full PDF carries RoofStruct branding on Free.

Imagery of any kind can misread pitch on a steep, cut-up roof, and heavy tree cover can hide slopes. That is a limit of the technology, ours included. Check pitch on site when the picture is doubtful.

How each one prices

GAF QuickMeasure bills each report, with no subscription. The price depends on whether you hold GAF Master Elite certification, and multi-family buildings are priced per building (per GAF, Oct 2026). It is simple to budget per job, and the cost grows with every bid you send.

RoofStruct’s free plan has no per-report fee for measuring you do yourself or for the PDF. Pro is a monthly subscription that adds branded Good / Better / Best estimates with e-signature, the Material Order Builder with Smart Waste, CSV, XLSX, JSON and DXF exports, your logo and colors, and up to 5 team members.

The dated QuickMeasure prices are in our EagleView vs Roofr vs GAF QuickMeasure comparison. Run them against your own numbers: if you quote ten roofs to close three, the seven you lose still cost a report each.

Where GAF QuickMeasure is the better pick

If you only need a report now and then, want it back fast, and don’t want a monthly bill, QuickMeasure is built for that. You don’t trace anything, and GAF lists delivery in under an hour for single-family homes.

It also fits if you install GAF systems and want GAF’s bill of materials with the measurement, or if you want an editable 3D rendering with each report. GAF Master Elite contractors get a lower per-report price.

Switching, or using both

You don’t have to choose one for every job. Measure your everyday retail bids yourself in RoofStruct, and order a report when you don’t have time to trace.

If you’d rather hand that off inside RoofStruct, a done-for-you report is measured by a technician and checked by a second one, usually delivered within 4 hours (turnaround varies with volume and complexity). For claim files, an ESX sketch order is geometry only and opens in your own Xactimate. RoofStruct isn’t affiliated with Verisk.
