Wondering if the Roofer Storm Damage Photo Kit will work with your phone and tools?
The short answer: if your phone takes photos, you’re equipped. The kit was designed to run on the gear roofers and sales reps already carry — your phone’s camera, free apps, and basic field tools. No special equipment, no paid software, no learning curve.
Phones that work
- iPhone (iPhone 8 and newer) — the printable checklists work on any phone, and the fillable PDF with 312 tap-type fields works in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app
- Android (Android 8.0 and newer) — same deal; camera, free PDF reader, done
- What matters most — a working camera with GPS/location tagging turned on, so every photo carries a timestamp and coordinates
Free apps that pair with it
- Your phone’s built-in camera — the primary tool; the 12-shot sequence in the kit is designed around standard phone cameras
- Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) — for the fillable PDF on your phone or tablet in the field
- Google Sheets or Excel (free) — for the .xlsx supplement tracker
- Any free GPS camera app — if your stock camera doesn’t stamp coordinates, a free GPS camera app adds them automatically
Field tools that help
- Tape measure or digital measurer — for the damage measurements the kit asks you to log
- Chalk or lumber crayon — mark damage areas so they show clearly in photos
- A printer — for the flat PDF checklists you carry on the roof; the ink-friendly black-and-white version keeps printing cheap
What pairs with it
The kit handles documentation. Pair it with your estimating software for the numbers, and your CRM for the follow-up. The supplement tracker in the spreadsheet is built to feed clean, documented line items into whatever estimating tool you use.
The bottom line
If you can take a photo and open a PDF, you can run this kit. It’s built for the roof, not the office — everything works on the phone in your pocket and prints cheap at the shop.
