A mobile app that uses thermal imaging and AI to diagnose roof moisture and shingle integrity issues. Homeowners take photos or upload drone footage; app analyzes patterns, suggests causes, and recommends verified local contractors with steep-pitch experience.

  • Verified contractor directory with steep-pitch specialty filters
  • Manufacturer claim tracking: submit defect reports to shingle makers directly from the app
