RoofGuard: Leak Decider

RoofGuard helps homeowners decide the best repair approach for leaky roofs, from confirming contractor tarp quality to diagnosing flashing issues. Contractors use it to show homeowners evidence-backed repair plans, reducing callbacks and disputes.

Key Features
  • Leak diagnosis AI that asks simple questions (e.g., wind direction, leak location) and recommends fixes (flashing repair vs. tarp replacement)
  • Contractor tarp assessment: photo-based analysis of tarp installation quality against best practices
  • Seasonal vulnerability checklist (pre-hurricane) tailored to roof age, materials, and local weather
  • Repair urgency score based on severity, cost, and risk of future leaks
  • Document and share repair plan with contractor or insurer as a PDF report
Target Users: Homeowners experiencing roof leaks or preparing for storm season; roofing contractors needing a tool to validate repair recommendations
Revenue Model: Freemium: basic leak diagnosis free; premium features (tarp assessment, seasonal checklist, report generation) via subscription ($4.99/month or $49.99/year)
