# SECTION 4: Elevation Image Requirements

# 1. Main Dwelling & Large Secondary Structures

(Detached Garages, Guesthouses or Workshops)

Elevation Images: Always start from the front and work from left to right, in a counterclockwise.

  • [ ] Overview of each elevation Front > Right > Back > Left
  • [ ] Capture the Left and Right sections of each elevation. If the property is large, this may require more than two sections per elevation to fully document all visible features.
  • [ ] Get 1 close-up of siding if present, this makes it easier to determine what type of siding the adjuster is looking at.
  • [ ] Capture 1 close-up image of all windows and doors in each section Ensure clarity—frames, beading, and screens must be visible, as we are specifically looking for signs of hail or wind damage.
  • [ ] Capture Close-up of garage door, and a shot from a side angle to make it easy to see any dents from hail.
  • [ ] Capture 1 close-up Electrical Panel, Meter
  • [ ] Gas Meter
  • [ ] HVAC (Top overview, 3 sides, manufacture label)
  • [ ] Gutters: Capture from below using your device, or from above if using a drone.
  • [ ] Downspouts: Include one overview image and three close-up shots per downspout.
  • [ ] Soffits

# 2. Small Secondary Structures

(Toolshed, Covered Patio, or Gazebo)

Elevation Images: Always start from the front and work from left to right, in a counterclockwise.

  • [ ] Capture all structures with a roof (exclude small plastic sheds - list under Contents)
  • [ ] Include key components: windows, doors, panels, etc. (if present)
  • [ ] Capture 1 Overview of each elevation F, R, B, L
