Order an ESX Sketch

We Sketch It. You File the Claim.

Hand us the address. A RoofStruct technician draws the roof sketch and delivers a .ESX file (compatible with Xactimate®) that imports straight into your estimate, plus a printable PDF reference — from $24/sketch.

4h — Delivered within 4 hours

  1. Pin the property — Type the address or drop a pin, pick residential or commercial, and pay a flat price at checkout.
  2. A technician draws it — A RoofStruct technician draws the roof sketch — every facet, ridge, and valley — no auto-trace.
  3. Quality check — Every sketch is quality-checked before delivery, so the dimensions hold up when the claim is reviewed.
  4. Download .ESX + PDF — The .ESX file imports straight into your Xactimate® estimate; the printable PDF is ready for adjusters and homeowners. Sketch geometry only — roof outline, facets, pitches and edge lengths. No line items, pricing or supplement: those come from your own Xactimate® price list and macros when you open the file.

What You Get With Every Sketch

One flat price per property — the facet count never changes what you pay.

  • Native .ESX file — The format Xactimate® opens directly — your sketch imports into the estimate with no re-drawing and no re-typing.
  • Printable PDF reference — A clean companion PDF of the sketch — readable by anyone, no software required.
  • Residential & commercial — Flat pricing for both property types, shown before you pay. No quotes, no surprises.
  • Drawn by real technicians — A person draws every sketch — not an auto-trace. Delivered seven days a week within 4 hours.
  • Pairs with a roof report — Order both in one checkout for the same property — the measurements match, and both deliver together in one email.
  • Pro discount included — Pro members pay $24 per residential sketch ($29 standard) — applied automatically at checkout.

Better together

One Property. One Checkout. Report + Sketch.

Insurance work usually needs both: a roof report for the homeowner and an ESX sketch file (compatible with Xactimate®) for the claim. Tick the sketch add-on in a report checkout and both are produced for the same property — so the measurements match — then delivered together in a single email. The price is simply the sum of the two services, shown before you pay.

ESX Sketch FAQ

What is an ESX sketch file?
An ESX sketch is a roof sketch drawn by a RoofStruct technician and delivered as a .ESX file — the native format that imports straight into your Xactimate® estimate — together with a printable PDF reference. You get estimate-ready roof geometry without drawing it yourself. Sketch geometry only — roof outline, facets, pitches and edge lengths. No line items, pricing or supplement: those come from your own Xactimate® price list and macros when you open the file.
How much does an ESX sketch cost?
Residential sketches are $29, or $24 with the Pro discount. Commercial sketches are $79 USD ($59 with Pro). The price is flat per property — facet count never changes what you pay — and it is shown at checkout before you pay.
Do I need Xactimate® to use it?
To import the .ESX file, yes — it is the estimating software the format belongs to. The printable PDF that comes with every sketch is readable by anyone, no software required.
Can I order it together with a roof report?
Yes — tick the ESX add-on during a report checkout and both are produced for the same property in one payment, then delivered together in a single email. The combined price is simply the sum of the two services. You can also order a standalone sketch anytime.
How fast are sketches delivered?
Sketches are delivered within 4 hours. Our team draws seven days a week (Eastern Time); times can vary with volume and complexity, and we email you the moment your files are ready.
Is RoofStruct affiliated with Verisk or Xactimate®?
No — RoofStruct is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Verisk Analytics, Inc., the maker of Xactimate®. We deliver sketch files in the .ESX format so they work with the software you already use.
