The five passes
The same five views, every time.
A roof assessed from one angle is a roof assessed once. These are the passes every Jacob assessment makes, in this order, so that coverage does not depend on how the day is going.
Pass 02 of 5
Aerial, plan
Straight down. This is the view that makes drainage legible and stops a plane being missed because it was awkward to reach.
Pass 03 of 5
From the street
What the property actually looks like to a person standing in front of it — the only view most quotes are based on.
Pass 04 of 5
System detail
Close enough to read the assembly: courses, seams, terminations, penetrations. Findings are photographed at this range with something for scale.
On this roof: the shingle field at a gable rake, the starter course and edge fixing visible along the edge.
Pass 05 of 5
Work in progress
Mid-installation, where the parts that end up hidden are still visible. A roof is easiest to judge before it is finished.
What this roof raises
Three things a roof like this makes you check.
Every property puts its own questions in front of an assessor. These are the ones this system on this kind of house raises — and the same ones we would bring to yours.
01
A corner lot is more exposed to wind from more directions than a mid-block house. Uplift starts at edges, so rakes and eaves get particular attention here.
02
Three front gables means three separate rake edges on the elevation people actually see. Each is checked, because edge failures are visible from the street long before they leak.
03
Going from an ordinary covering to an impact-rated one is not a shingle swap. The fixing pattern changes and usually the underlayment does too, so it is scoped as a different roof rather than a substitution.

Four steps, three things to type. We confirm the address is in our area, then come and look at the whole roof — not just the bit you pointed at.
