After a new roof installation, the shingle overhang exceeds manufacturer recommendations and the starter strip is incorrect, causing aesthetic and performance concerns.
No easy way for homeowners to verify installer compliance with manufacturer specs (overhang, starter strip) without expert knowledge.

App Concept
RoofCheck Inspect
A mobile app that lets homeowners measure and document roof installation details using AR ruler and manufacturer spec database. It flags deviations (e.g., overhang too long, wrong starter strip) and provides a shareable report for disputes with contractors.
Key Features
- AR-based measurement of shingle overhang, rake edges, and starter strip type
- Manufacturer specs lookup (GAF, Owens Corning, etc.) for real-time compliance check
- Photo capture and automatic annotation of defects
- Shareable report with timestamped evidence for contractor or warranty claims
Target Users: Homeowners who have recently had a roof install or repair, especially in the US residential market.
Revenue Model: Freemium: free for 1 inspection report; $9.99 per report or $49/year unlimited inspections.
