What is a Roof Photo Inspection?
A roof photo inspection is a documented, photo-based assessment that captures physical evidence of a roof's surface, wear zones, and structural details. While permit records reveal when a roof was installed, high-resolution roof inspection photos reveal how that roof is actually performing today.
At RooFax, every photo inspection is powered by human expertise. Certified inspectors conduct thorough on-site walkthroughs, capturing high-resolution photos across every critical roof component. Each image is individually reviewed, documented, and annotated by trained inspectors—identifying specific observations such as granule displacement, pipe boot cracking, ridge cap wear, or flashing separation.
In addition to physical walkthroughs, RooFax allows licensed contractors and insurers to submit photos through a guided capture workflow, which undergo admin review before being published to a property's record.
Because RooFax operates as an entirely independent reporting platform—never repairing roofs, selling replacement jobs, or pushing contractor services—our documented roof photos provide an unbiased visual baseline that all parties in a transaction can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a roof photo inspection?
A: A roof photo inspection is a documented visual assessment where clear, high-definition photos of a roof's surface, flashing, valleys, pipe boots, and ridge caps are captured, human-annotated, and compiled into a verifiable property report.
Q2: Who takes the photos—do you use drones or AI auto-detection?
A: RooFax relies strictly on human expertise. Photos are captured during physical on-site walkthroughs by certified RooFax inspectors or uploaded by licensed contractors/adjusters through a guided workflow. Every photo is reviewed and annotated by human inspectors—we do not use drones, satellite imagery, computer vision, or automated AI damage detection algorithms.
Q3: How is a photo inspection different from a permit history?
A: A permit history provides paper records of when a roof was installed or repaired in the past, while a photo inspection provides visual proof of how the roof is physically performing today. Combining both offers complete historical and structural transparency.
Q4: Do I need an on-site inspection to get photos in my report?
A: An on-site physical inspection by a certified RooFax inspector is the most direct way to get comprehensive photo findings and earns our highest 3-Star verification rating. Alternatively, verified photos uploaded by licensed contractors can be added to a report following human admin review (2-Star rating).
Q5: Where is RooFax photo inspection available?
A: RooFax is a nationwide platform rolling out in phased releases. Live on-site physical photo inspections are currently launched across the greater Grand Junction, Colorado region (including Fruita, Palisade, Clifton, and Redlands), with service expanding nationwide.
Q6: How much does a roof photo inspection cost?
A: Address searches provide a free baseline report preview. Full digital data reports and certified on-site physical photo inspections are available through single purchases, subscription plans, or credit packages [pricing TBD].
