Adjusters evaluating roof claims need a specific set of photos to establish cause, extent, and scope. Send them what they need and the claim moves faster. Here's the list.
Required Photo Types
Full roof overview: All slopes from ground level. Drone or ladder shots of all planes.
Damage close-ups: Impact marks, bruising, fractures on shingles. Include 10–20 close-ups distributed across all affected slopes. Each should be tied to the slope location.
Soft metal evidence: Gutters, vents, flashing — dents confirm hail size and pattern.
Adjacent collateral: Siding, screens, or other surfaces showing the same event.
Age and condition evidence: Granule loss, worn shingles, and any pre-existing conditions — document these so the adjuster can distinguish new damage from wear.
What Adjusters Verify
- Date and time — matches the date of loss claim
- Location — confirms photos are of the reported property
- Coverage — damage across all slopes that warrant full replacement
TimeFotos auto-timestamps every photo with date, time, and GPS and organizes them by job address. One share link gives the adjuster an organized, professional report.
