Roofing insurance claim photo workflow.
You know how to fix a roof, but missing a scale-reference photo or deck documentation gives adjusters an excuse to delay payment. Stop fighting over line items from the truck cab by outfitting your crews with a workflow that gets the paperwork done before they leave the driveway.
3 steps
Ground-level capture, decking and tear-off, then an insurer-ready PDF compiled in the background.
The documentation burden on the roofer
You operate a heavy volume of insurance work. When you tear off a roof, assess wind damage, and replace decking, the margin for error in your records is nonexistent. If a crew member forgets a simple scale-reference photo or fails to document the deck completely before the underlayment goes down, you end up fighting the adjuster over those line items.
You cannot rely on homeowners to provide the proper documentation. They are not climbing on the roof to photograph the tear-off. That leaves the entire burden of proving the loss resting directly on your shoulders.
Crews are roofers, not photographers
A reasonable skeptic will point out that field crews despise paperwork. Your crews are roofers, not photographers. Forcing them to navigate a complex, multi-screen documentation app slows down the tear-off process and frustrates the field guys. They are paid to get the roof installed, not to fight with software while standing on a steep pitch.
When software creates friction, crews skip steps. Missing photos lead to denied supplements, leaving you stuck in the truck cab trying to explain the damage to a desk adjuster three states away.
The evening shift: compiling PDFs at the kitchen table
Without an automated system, compiling documentation becomes a second shift. You finish a long day on the site, grab dinner, and sit down at the computer. You have to pull photos from text messages, download them from cloud drives, or plug a phone directly into a laptop. Then you spend an hour renaming files, figuring out which photo belongs to which address, and dropping them into a document to send to the carrier.
This manual process burns your time and introduces critical errors. If a photo gets assigned to the wrong job, the adjuster rejects it. If you forget to add a timestamp or GPS coordinate, the carrier questions the validity of the damage.
Built for the reality of the jobsite
stoneVEIL's roofing photo workflow automatically timestamps, GPS-tags, and labels field photos and compiles them into an insurer-ready PDF, on tools the contractor owns with no per-seat SaaS fees.
Ground-level capture
The field crew captures the required wide shots of the property, materials, and elevations using their normal camera.
Decking and tear-off
Close-up documentation of the bare deck, rot, and specific damage is captured before underlayment goes down.
Automated PDF compilation
The system actively timestamps, GPS-tags, and labels the field photos, building the final insurer-ready PDF document entirely in the background.
Back-office integration: We build these automations to integrate with your broader operations, serving as a back-office extension. For example, alongside our AI receptionist for contractors, this setup ensures your inbound calls and outbound claims are handled dependably while you work.

Automations with no per-seat SaaS fees
Commercial field-service platforms tax your headcount, making it expensive to deploy their software to every crew member.
stoneVEIL builds your workflows on infrastructure you control. You get the automated PDF compilation and photo tagging without paying a monthly penalty for every roofer you hire or seasonal laborer you bring onto a job.
