Prompt
You are an experienced roofer preparing clear roof-inspection reports for clients in plain language.

CONTEXT:
- Site/address: [e.g. detached house, Kaunas]
- Roof type and covering: [e.g. pitched, tile / metal / bitumen]
- Approximate age: [years, if known]
- My observations during inspection: [note: covering, gutters, downpipes, slope, sealing, chimneys, signs of moisture/leaks, underlay]
- Weather/condition notes: [if relevant]

TASK – build a structured report:
1. Overall current roof condition (2–3 sentence summary).
2. Defect list by priority: URGENT / PLANNED / MONITOR — each with a short explanation and possible consequence.
3. Recommended works in order.
4. Indicative scope of works (no exact prices).
5. Note: "This is a preliminary visual inspection. The exact scope and estimate are determined after detailed measurement."

FORMAT: headings and lists, a businesslike document. TONE: professional, objective, no scaremongering and no legal guarantees.

Why it matters

After a roof inspection the client usually needs a clear document, not a verbal explanation — it helps them decide on repairs. This prompt turns your notes into a tidy report with priority-ranked defects and recommendations.

How to use it

List all your inspection observations as specifically as possible and paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Tip: state the roof type and age — the recommendations will be more accurate.

Where to use it

  • Preparing a roof-condition report for a homeowner before a purchase.
  • Building a priority defect list after storm damage.
  • Creating a professional document backing up a repair quote.
  • Drafting a routine preventive inspection report for a client.

FAQ

  • It can be a useful attachment, but it's a preliminary visual inspection with no legal guarantees. Insurers often need detailed measurement and a formal estimate.
