Rooftop Intel: Where AI Meets the Shingles

It’s National Roofing Week, and we’re highlighting how AI and high-resolution aerial imagery from Vexcel deliver smarter roof insights at scale

See More than Shingles

Most people don’t think twice about what’s on the roof. But for roofers, insurers, solar providers, AEC professionals, and financial services, rooftops matter. And because roofs protect everything beneath, you need to understand:

It’s not just about what you see on the roof; it’s about what you know about it.

Evaluate from Above with Confidence

Vexcel collects high-resolution aerial imagery across urban and rural areas in the Lower 48 states and urban areas in Hawaii, capturing rooftops in sharp detail. Our coverage spans residential and commercial properties, delivering better clarity than satellites and greater scale than drones.

You can inspect roofs manually in our imagery, but there’s a smarter–and faster-way to get what you need: use AI to extract key details directly from the imagery.

Meet Elements AI

We did the extra AI work for you.  Elements AI brings to the forefront 20 roof-specific attributes extracted from our imagery, including shape, material, conditions, vents, skylights, and more.

These insights are trusted by leading insurers, solar providers, financial providers, and more to assess rooftops quickly and consistently. Check out this property in Bountiful, UT, to see what you can uncover on a single property:
