Roof inspection photo report
Create a roof inspection photo report that moves from the overall roofline to the details that need attention.
Move from roofline to detail
A roof inspection photo report is easier to follow when it begins with an elevation or roof-plane view. Continue with the area where the detail sits, then show the vent, shingle course, flashing, edge, or other feature close enough to understand. The sequence gives the reader a location before asking them to evaluate a detail.
Use captions that name the roof area, elevation, slope, or nearby feature. A short caption can carry more useful information than a long general note when it tells the reader exactly where to look.
Keep portrait and landscape images honest
Field photos do not all have the same orientation. The report preview keeps portrait and landscape images in their natural proportions rather than forcing every image into a crop. Check mixed pages in the preview so important edges, vents, and drainage details remain visible.
Use the optional description for additional context, limitations, or measurements. Keep conclusions separate from what the photo visibly shows unless the responsible professional has established them.
- Start with an establishing elevation.
- Name the roof area or feature in each caption.
- Use a close-up only after the location is clear.
- Check orientation and page scale before export.
Present a finished client deliverable
Add the property information, prepared-by name, company name, and logo when the report is customer-facing. The goal is a readable record that can be attached to a project file or sent after the visit without asking the recipient to interpret a phone gallery.
What makes a useful report
