# SECTION 5: Roof/Drone Image Requirements
# 1. Main Dwelling & Large Secondary Structures
(Detached Garages, Guesthouses or Workshops)
- [ ] 1+ Overview Photo of the property from back fence line to front sidewalk or road.
- [ ] 1+ Overview Photo of Main Dwelling and/or Large Structure.
- [ ] 16 Bird's-Eye Views
- [ ] 9 Zigzag Pattern Images
- [ ] Close-Ups 8' × 8' ( Approximately 18 rows of shingles, perpendicular to slope).
- [ ] Capture component close-ups (vents, jacks, satellite dish, etc.)
Slope order: Front → Right → Back → Left
- [ ] Gutter Photos
- [ ] Roof Layer Photos
Tip: : If you're using a drone that is not compatible with the e360 PilotApp and are instead capturing images via a drone app for manual upload through the e360 WebApp (Pilot Portal), it's recommended to include a transition image—such as a photo of the sky—between each slope (e.g., Front → Right → Back → Left). This helps clearly identify and organize slope sequences during the upload process.
# 2. Close-Up Photo Standards
Standard Roof Shingles:
- Each image = ~18 shingle rows (8' x 8' area)
- Fewer than 18 rows = not enough detail
- Over 22 rows = too little clarity
Slate, Metal, Tile, Wood Shakes:
- Because roofing materials can vary, when encountering this type of material, please capture an image no smaller than 5' x 5' and no larger than 8' x 8' area.
# 3. Small Secondary Structures
(Toolshed, Covered Patio, or Gazebo)
- [ ] 1 Overview Photo
- [ ] 4 Bird's-Eye Views
- [ ] 1 Close-Up (8' × 8') per slope
- [ ] Capture components (vents, jacks, satellite dish, etc.)
- [ ] Gutter Images (if applicable)
