FAQs
Why is photo documentation important during a roof repair?
Detailed photographs taken before, during, and after the repair give you visual proof of the roof’s original condition, the work performed, and the finished result. This transparency helps homeowners verify that all agreed-upon repairs were completed, protects you from unexpected change orders, and supplies evidence that the roof now meets Dayton’s building codes and manufacturer specifications.
What kinds of photos do you provide and at which stages of the repair?
Our crews capture wide-angle overviews, close-up images of damaged shingles, flashing, and decking, as well as step-by-step progress shots. We typically photograph (1) pre-repair inspection, (2) tear-off and substrate inspection, (3) underlayment and flashing installation, (4) shingle or membrane application, and (5) the final finished roof. We also document ventilation upgrades, gutter work, and any hidden structural issues we encounter.
How does photo documentation help with an insurance claim?
Insurance adjusters often request verifiable proof of storm damage and completed work. Our high-resolution, time-stamped photos make claim reviews faster because they clearly show hail hits, wind uplift, or water intrusion before the repair as well as the corrective measures taken. In many cases, homeowners in Dayton have received quicker approvals or supplemental payments because the adjuster could evaluate the damage without needing multiple site visits.
Will photo documentation disrupt the repair process or increase my bill?
No. Our technicians are trained to take photos efficiently while they work, so there is no delay to the actual repair timeline. Photo documentation is included in every Dayton roof repair package we offer, meaning there are no hidden fees or add-ons. You receive the images as part of the standard service.
How will I receive the photos and reports?
Within 24 hours of project completion you will get a secure link to a cloud folder containing high-resolution JPEGs organized by repair stage, along with a concise PDF report summarizing what each image shows. If you need copies sent directly to an insurance adjuster, realtor, or property manager, we can grant them view-only access or email the report on your behalf.
Are the photos geo-tagged and time-stamped for authenticity?
Yes. Every image is automatically time-stamped and embedded with GPS coordinates so insurers and third-party inspectors can verify when and where the photos were taken. We also store the originals on our secure server for seven years, meeting Ohio’s recommended record-retention guidelines for roofing contractors.
