What is a roof report and what does it include?

One document, three audiences: contractors estimate from it, insurers adjust claims with it, and homeowners decide with it. Here's what a roof report contains — and how the same aerial intelligence, run across a whole market, becomes a prospecting engine instead of a single PDF.

THE SHORT ANSWER

A roof report is a structured document describing a specific roof: measurements (area, pitch, facets, ridges, valleys), material and estimated age, and condition findings — typically generated from aerial imagery rather than a ladder climb. Contractors use reports for estimates, insurers for claims, homeowners for decisions. Reworked.ai applies the same imagery intelligence in reverse: scoring 112M+ roofs to find the ones worth reporting on.

Who orders one, and why

Contractors order reports to estimate without a ladder — accurate material orders and bids from the desk. Insurers and adjusters use them to verify claims after hail. Homeowners increasingly see them as the credibility bar: a roofer who shows up with aerial evidence of this roof's condition starts a different conversation than one who eyeballs from the driveway. EagleView aircraft-mounted imagery at 1-inch-per-pixel resolution set the standard the industry now expects.

The report, inverted: from one PDF to a whole market

A roof report answers 'what's wrong with this roof?' — one address you already chose. Reworked.ai — a marketing intelligence platform for roofers — runs the question backwards across 112M+ US roofs: which addresses show report-worthy condition and an owner who can fund the work? Each answer is an AI-Qualified Opportunity at $1.79, carrying the roof's area, age, facets and condition indicators plus the owner's name. The report becomes your door-opener: lead with the aerial view of their roof, and the two-touch mail sequence literally mails it to them as a postcard.

What's inside a roof report

1

Measurements — total area in squares, pitch, facet count, ridge/hip/valley/eave lengths — the geometry an estimate is built on.

2

Material & age — roofing type and an estimated age band, read from imagery and property records.

3

Condition findings — wear patterns, streaking, missing shingles, ponding, patching and hail impact indicators where present.

4

Imagery — the aerial views themselves, which do more persuading than any table of numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a roof report and a roof inspection?

An inspection is a person on or under the roof — essential for final verification, leaks and sign-off. A report is generated from aerial imagery and data, needs no site visit, and scales to any address instantly. The strongest sales motion uses the report to earn the inspection.

Do homeowners get free roof reports?

Many contractors offer one as their opening move — it costs little to produce from aerial data and demonstrates evidence-based credibility. The 'free roof report' converts because the homeowner receives something real before any pitch.

How accurate are aerial roof reports?

Industry-standard aerial measurement is accurate enough that insurers adjust claims from it. Condition reads depend on imagery resolution — 1-inch-per-pixel aircraft imagery reliably distinguishes wear and hail indicators that satellite snapshots blur.
