AI Damage Photo Assessment

Upload photos of your roof damage and get an educational assessment of what the damage appears to be, what caused it, and what an insurance adjuster would typically look for when evaluating it.

Important: This tool provides educational analysis only. It does not constitute a professional roof inspection, insurance assessment, or damage estimate. AI photo analysis cannot replace an in-person inspection by a qualified roofing professional. Photos may not capture the full extent of damage, and the AI may misidentify damage types. Always get a professional inspection for damage assessment.

Upload Your Photos

Upload up to 10 photos of your roof damage. Include wide shots showing the overall area and close-ups of specific damage. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG. Your photos are processed securely and are not stored after analysis.

Tips for Better Damage Photos

The quality of the analysis depends on the quality of your photos. Better photos lead to more accurate assessments — both from this tool and from your insurance adjuster.

Include Context Shots

Start with wide shots that show the overall roof area and the damage in context. A close-up of a damaged shingle is useful, but it is more useful when paired with a wide shot showing where that shingle is on the roof and how much area is affected.

Get Close-Ups of Specific Damage

After your context shots, photograph specific damage areas up close. For hail damage, capture individual dents and bruises. For wind damage, photograph lifted, torn, or missing shingles. For water damage, photograph stains, drips, and any visible deterioration.

Include Ground-Level Evidence

Corroborating evidence at ground level strengthens your documentation. Dented gutters, cracked siding, damaged window screens, and impacts on AC units all support a hail or wind damage claim. These items are easier and safer to photograph than the roof itself.

Photograph All Four Sides

Damage patterns often tell a story. Wind damage typically concentrates on the windward side. Hail damage may be more severe on one exposure. Photographing all four sides helps identify the pattern and supports the cause of loss determination.

What This Tool Identifies

Damage Types

Hail impact, wind lift, missing materials, water intrusion signs, granule loss, and structural issues visible in photos.

Likely Cause

Whether the damage pattern suggests storm damage, wear and tear, installation issues, or other causes.

Coverage Implications

Whether the damage type is generally covered, potentially excluded (cosmetic), or likely a maintenance issue.

Adjuster Focus Areas

What an adjuster would typically examine more closely based on the visible damage patterns.

Your Privacy

Photos you upload are processed for analysis and are not permanently stored. We do not share your photos with third parties. The AI assessment is generated in real time and not retained after you leave this page. We recommend saving your photos separately for your own claim documentation.

Educational Tool Disclaimer

This AI tool provides educational photo analysis to help you understand visible roof damage. It cannot replace a professional in-person inspection. AI analysis of photos has significant limitations — it cannot assess structural integrity, detect hidden damage, or provide measurements. Always obtain a professional inspection for damage assessment, insurance claims, and repair planning.
