AI prompt: Roofer storm damage report — document it clearly for the insurer
You have inspected the roof after a storm event. The homeowner needs a professional written assessment to support their insurance claim. This prompt produces a structured report that documents damage, probable cause, and scope of repairs in the format insurers expect.
The prompt
You are a licensed roofer writing a storm damage assessment report for [homeowner name] at [property address]. Inspection date: [date]. Storm event: [describe — e.g., 'severe thunderstorm with large hail on [date]']. Damage observed: [itemise specifically — e.g., '12 cracked concrete tiles on the north-facing pitch; 2.8m of ridge cap displaced; one fascia board cracked on the eastern gable; skylight flashing lifted and separated from the frame']. Pre-existing condition: [describe or 'none observed']. Recommended repairs: [brief scope and materials]. Estimated repair cost: [$amount, or 'to be quoted after insurer assessment']. Your company name: [name]. Licence number: [number]. Write a 300–400 word report formatted for insurance submission that separates storm damage from pre-existing wear, uses compass directions for all damage locations, and includes your inspection date and credentials.
What you’ll get back
A 300–400 word structured assessment with itemised damage, compass-referenced locations, measurements where relevant, probable storm cause, and a clear scope of recommended repairs — formatted for direct attachment to an insurance claim.
Tips for this one
- Use compass directions for all damage locations — 'north-facing pitch, eastern fascia' rather than 'left' or 'right,' which reverses depending on where you are standing on the roof.
- Photograph each damage item with a ruler or tape measure in shot. Insurers will reject or delay claims where damage size cannot be independently verified from the photos.
- Separate storm damage from pre-existing wear explicitly in the report. Insurers look for any basis to classify storm damage as deferred maintenance — your report should remove that ambiguity.
- Sign and date your report, and include your roofing licence number. An unsigned, undated assessment from an unlicensed tradesperson carries far less weight with insurers than a credentialled professional document.
