Get an instant, location-specific roof estimate, complete with materials, costs and contractor connections, tailored to the unpredictable Midwest climate. 

If you live in the Midwest, you already know the weather can wreak havoc on your roof. Between hot summers, freezing winters, hailstorms and high winds, roof replacements aren’t just inevitable, they’re strategic. But figuring out the real cost of a new roof used to mean waiting days for an in-person quote or measurements that don’t reflect local challenges. That’s changed. Instant Roofer’s Instant Measure Reports gives you a full roof estimate, measurements, material costs, labor factors, in seconds, tailored to your location and climate. 

Real-time roof data, instantly 

Whether you’re in Nebraska, Michigan or Ohio, you can now get precise square footage, pitch, waste factors and material needs with just an address. The Instant Measure Reports tool pulls roof specs directly from satellite and aerial data, delivering a downloadable PDF you can use yourself or share directly with a contractor for fast, accurate quotes. 

This isn’t just for pros anymore. Homeowners can now use the same tech roofing companies rely on to get fast, trustworthy info without the guesswork. 

Climate-smart estimates for every Midwest state 

Different states come with different challenges: 

  • North Dakota and South Dakota – You’re facing snow, wind and seasonal extremes. Metal roofs might be worth the extra cost. 
  • Nebraska and Kansas – Intense weather swings and storm risk make durability non-negotiable. 
  • Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan – Long, harsh winters can shorten a roof’s lifespan fast. 
  • Illinois, Indiana and Ohio – Expect freeze-thaw cycles, hail and heavy humidity. You need materials that can flex without cracking. 
  • Iowa and Missouri – Heavy wind and snow mean frequent inspections and resilient shingles. 

The Instant Measure Report factors in your roof's complexity, valleys, slopes and irregular lines and lets you plug in preferred materials and pitch adjustments. You’ll see how your estimate shifts with every change. 

One tool, unlimited reports 

Contractors pay per report. You don’t have to. Instant Roofer now offers a bundle for homeowners, giving you unlimited reports with one flat-rate subscription. No hidden fees, no upsells. Just as many estimates as you need, whenever you need them. 

Connect with local contractors 

Once you have your report, you can instantly connect with pre-vetted roofing contractors in your area. No endless calls. No sketchy bids. Just roofers who know your region and are ready to work. 

You can also integrate your report with project tools and customer relationship software (for contractors) or just keep it for your records while you plan. 

Get your personalized roof estimate in seconds, no waiting, no hassle, just accurate numbers and local pros ready to get the job done!
