App Concept

StormShield Roof Analyzer

A mobile app that guides homeowners and inspectors through a hurricane-resilience roof assessment. It uses checklists, photo documentation, and local building code data to identify common failure points like improper flashing or fastener spacing, reducing storm damage risk.

Key Features

Interactive checklist for roof components (underlayment, fasteners, flashing, ventilation)
Photo upload with AI-based defect recognition (e.g., missing sealant, corrosion)
Local code integration (e.g., HVHZ, Florida Building Code)
Report generation with prioritized repair recommendations and cost estimates

Target Users: Homeowners in hurricane-prone regions (FL, Gulf Coast, Carolinas) and roofing inspectors seeking to evaluate and improve residential roof resilience.

Revenue Model: Freemium app with in-app purchases for detailed reports ($9.99/report) and a $19.99/mo subscription for unlimited assessments and multi-property management.
