Inspection reports that close jobs, not just document them
A good inspection report does two jobs: it documents the roof honestly, and it makes the homeowner's decision easy. Rooftops AI pairs satellite measurement with AI condition analysis — material identification, age indicators, and visible damage — so your inspection deliverable includes hard numbers, imagery, and a clear recommendation. Add your ground-level photos, and it becomes the document an adjuster or homeowner can act on.

Roof inspection checklist generator
A field checklist tuned to the roof you're about to walk.
- Photograph the address and elevation shots before going up
- Document overall roof condition from each slope
- Check ridge caps and hip caps for cracking or displacement
- Inspect valleys for granule buildup, rust, or open seams
- Check all penetrations: pipe boots, vents, flashing seals
- Inspect chimney flashing and counter-flashing
- Check gutters and downspouts for granule accumulation and dents
- Photograph any hail bruising with a chalk circle and a size reference
- Note soft-metal indicators: dented vents, screens, window wraps
- Check attic (if accessible) for daylight, moisture stains, or mold
- Look for mat fractures under bruises (the flex test on suspect hits)
- Check for thermal cracking vs. impact damage (pattern tells the story)
- Note shingle brand and line if identifiable (matters for matching claims)
- Check granule wear on south-facing slopes against protected areas
How it works
Pull the property
Satellite imagery, measurements, and roof geometry load in seconds — before you're on site.
AI reads the condition
Material, age indicators, and visible issues are analyzed, and Shingle ID can identify the exact product on the roof from a photo.
Deliver the report
A professional PDF with measurements, imagery, findings, and your recommendation — emailed or printed.
What you get
Condition analysis built in
AI assessment of material, apparent age, and visible damage gives your write-up a documented starting point.
Exact product identification
Shingle ID matches the manufacturer, product line, and color from a single photo — including discontinued lines.
Numbers an adjuster respects
Facet-level measurements and pitch from 3D elevation data, with confidence scoring on every report.
Professional deliverable
Branded PDF export and email delivery, so the homeowner gets something worth forwarding to their insurer.
The inspection that holds up later
A roof inspection is worth exactly as much as its documentation. The finding you can't show is a finding that doesn't exist to an adjuster, a homeowner's spouse, or a court. The discipline: overview photos from each slope before close-ups, a size reference in every damage photo, chalk marks that make bruises legible, and notes that separate storm damage from wear so your credibility survives scrutiny. Ten organized minutes beats forty scattered ones.
Sequence matters too. Elevation shots and soft-metal checks from the ground first (dented vents, gutters, and window wraps corroborate hail before you climb), then the roof by slope, then penetrations and flashings, then the attic when accessible for daylight, stains, and mold.
AI condition analysis, and what it is for
Rooftops AI reads the roof from current satellite imagery before anyone climbs: material identification, visible condition indicators, discoloration and streaking, patching history, and structural complexity, with a written condition assessment in every full report. That is a triage and preparation tool: it tells you which leads deserve a ladder, what to look for when you get there, and it hands the homeowner a professional document that frames the on-roof findings.
It does not replace the on-roof inspection, and the report says so. Granule bruising, mat fractures, and fastener condition are physical findings. The winning combination is the AI report for reach and framing plus a documented physical inspection for proof; the checklist above keeps the physical half thorough.
From inspection to decision
Every inspection should end in one of three documented outcomes: repair scope with a price, replacement recommendation with evidence, or a clean bill with a revisit date. The revisit date is the one contractors skip and the one that compounds: a roof that passes today is a roof you have earned the right to inspect after the next verified storm, and the address report keeps that storm history attached automatically.
For insurance-bound inspections, tie every finding to the verified storm record: date of loss from the NWS report list, damage photos referenced to it, and pre-existing wear documented separately. Claims fail on sloppy attribution far more often than on the damage itself.

Frequently asked questions
Does this replace an on-site inspection?
No — it makes it more profitable. You arrive with measurements and a condition baseline already done, spend your on-site time verifying and photographing, and deliver a complete report the same day.
Can it identify the existing shingle?
Yes. Shingle ID reads a photo of the roof and returns the manufacturer, product line, and colorway with confidence scores, and flags discontinued products.
What's included in the report?
Measurements and roof geometry, satellite imagery, AI condition findings, solar potential, and an estimate range — plus your own notes and photos.
How much does it cost?
Your first 3 reports are free. Paid plans start at $30/month billed annually with 10 reports included.
