Damage Documentation Checklist

Use this step-by-step photo checklist to thoroughly document all damage. Check off each item as you capture it.

📷
0 of 8 documented
  • 1. Full Roof Overview (Street Level)

    Capture the entire roof from the street or property entrance. Include the full structure and address if visible. Take from multiple angles.

  • 2. Undamaged Area (Comparison Shot)

    Photograph a section of the roof with no damage to establish a baseline. This proves the difference between normal wear and storm damage.

  • 3. Damage Area — Wide Shot

    For each damage zone, take a wide photo showing the area in context. Show the location on the roof relative to ridges, valleys, or edges.

  • 4. Damage Area — Close-Up with Reference

    Photograph each impact/damage point up close. Place a ruler, chalk circle, or coin next to the damage for scale reference.

  • 5. Flashing & Penetrations

    Document all flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and pipes. Look for lifted, dented, or separated flashing.

  • 6. Gutters & Downspouts

    Photograph gutters for dents, granule buildup, and dislodged sections. Check downspouts for impact damage and document any hail splatter marks.

  • 7. Interior Damage (Ceilings & Attic)

    Check for water stains on ceilings, attic leaks, daylight through the roof deck, and wet insulation. Document every instance with photos.

  • 8. Adjacent Structures

    Document damage to garages, sheds, fences, siding, window screens, and AC units. Surrounding damage supports the storm damage claim.

Best Practice: Use a timestamp camera app, photograph damage before any temporary repairs, and label or number each damage area on a roof diagram. More photos = stronger claim.

Common Questions

Is this claim documentation assistant really free?
Yes, completely free with no strings attached. You do not need to create an account, provide an email address, or speak with anyone. The tool runs entirely in your browser and gives you results immediately.
How accurate are these estimates?
The calculations use industry-standard data and published rate tables, so they provide a reliable directional estimate. Your actual costs will depend on your specific situation, location, and the providers you work with. We recommend using these numbers as a starting point for getting real quotes.
What should I do with these results?
Use them as a baseline for informed conversations with brokers, PEOs, or insurance providers. Having these numbers before you talk to a salesperson puts you in a much stronger negotiating position and helps you evaluate whether the proposals you receive are competitive.
