šŸ’° Pro Tip for High-Value Photos! šŸ’°

To capture photos that could be worth thousands, develop a consistent approach every time you’re on-site. When training adjusters, I’d emphasize this routine: start with a shot of the front elevation, then work top-down—roof first, then around the exterior.

Here’s why it matters:

Roof inspection: Get up there and capture critical details—lift the shingles and snap photos of the drip edge, ice and water shield, starter strip, and gutter installation. Each detail shot can translate into thousands in line items!
Exterior shots: Go front, right, rear, left. These pics reveal collateral damage direction, wind or hail path, and more—essential for securing claims.
