# 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
