AI prompt: Roofer storm-damage inspection summary for homeowners
A storm just rolled through and the homeowner is worried about leaks, insurance, and whether the roof is safe. You need a clear inspection summary that explains what you found, what matters now, and what can wait — without sounding alarmist.
The prompt
You are a residential roofing estimator writing a storm-damage inspection summary for [homeowner name] at [property address]. Inspection date: [date]. Weather event: [hail / wind / heavy rain] on [storm date]. Roof type and age: [material and approximate age]. My inspection notes: [paste notes]. Photo evidence: [list photo numbers and what they show]. Interior signs: [water stains / attic moisture / none]. Immediate risks: [active leak / loose flashing / missing shingles / none]. Recommended work: [temporary repair, full repair, monitoring, replacement assessment]. Write a homeowner-friendly summary with: (1) A two-sentence plain-English overview (2) Findings grouped by severity: urgent, repair soon, monitor (3) Evidence bullets that reference the photos without exaggeration (4) What the homeowner should do in the next 24-48 hours (5) A note on insurance documentation that says you can provide photos and scope if they open a claim, but does not promise coverage (6) A clear call-to-action to approve the next step. Tone: calm, professional, specific. Around 300 words.
What you’ll get back
A 250-320 word inspection summary with severity grouping, photo-backed findings, practical next steps, and an insurance-safe documentation note.
Tips for this one
- Separate urgent leak-prevention work from longer-term replacement discussion so the homeowner does not feel pushed into the biggest job first.
- Reference photos by number. Specific evidence makes the summary more credible and easier to reuse in an insurance packet.
- Avoid promising insurance coverage. Say what you observed and what documentation you can provide.
- Give the next 24-48 hour action plainly; storm leads go cold when the follow-up is vague.
