In this guide, you will understand:
- What homeowners usually mean when they search for roof diagnosis.
- What satellite-based measurement can show for replacement quote planning.
- What hidden conditions still need photos, follow-up review, site review, or tear-off confirmation.
Many homeowners search for “roof diagnosis” because they want to know whether their roof needs repair, replacement, or more review. Kodiak does not diagnose hidden roof conditions from satellite imagery. Kodiak uses satellite-based roof measurement data to build a detailed replacement quote/report and define what still needs confirmation.
What Measurement Data Can Clarify
Measurement-report data can document roof size, pitch, facets, complexity, flashing counts, waste factor, ventilation considerations, and replacement quantities. Those details support a clearer quote and help the homeowner understand the scope before committing.
What Still Needs Confirmation
Satellite measurement does not confirm active leaks, concealed rot, hidden decking damage, plywood replacement needs, or concealed flashing failure. Those conditions may require homeowner input, photos, follow-up review, a site visit when needed, or confirmation during tear-off.
How Findings Are Communicated
The quote/report should make clear what is included, what is conditional, and how conditional items will be priced or approved if they become necessary. The goal is not a pressure-sales appointment. The goal is a decision document the homeowner can review with clear next steps.
