Roof photo check

Add up to three photos of your roof, gutters, vents or flashing. You'll get a plain description of what shows in them, what a photo can't tell you, and where to go next.

This is not an inspection.An AI model describes what it sees in your photos and can be wrong. It can't tell you whether you have hail damage, whether insurance will pay, or what to repair.

    Stay off the roof. Photos from the ground, a window or a ladder at the gutter line are enough to start, and close-ups of gutters, downspouts, vents and the AC unit help most after hail.

    Photos are shrunk in your browser, sent to our server and Cloudflare's AI service to be described, then discarded. We don't keep them. Crop out faces and house numbers if you like.

    What it can and can't do

    • It can point out things that are visible: possible dents on soft metal like gutters and vents, missing, creased or lifted shingles, bare spots where granules have worn off, gaps at flashing, and debris.
    • It can't judge whether a hail hit broke the shingle's mat or seal, what's happening under the shingles or in the attic, or anything the camera didn't catch. A blurry or distant photo limits it further.
    • It never decides whether you have damage, whether a claim makes sense, or what repair you need. For that, a roofer or adjuster has to look in person.
