# 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.
