About AI Roof Designer

The roof is the largest single element of any facade. The AI Roof Designer previews clay, slate, metal, and tile roofs on a photo of your house.

What this designer does

It replaces roof material, colour, ridge detail, and rooflights while keeping the roof pitch and building footprint intact.

Who should use it

  • Homeowners planning a roof replacement
  • Renovators adding rooflights or dormers
  • Architects presenting roof material options
  • Property investors upgrading elevations

Best use cases

  • Preview clay tile versus slate on the same house
  • Test a standing seam metal roof on a modern extension
  • Add rooflights to a dark loft conversion
  • Compare black versus red pantiles

Before you upload

  • Shoot from across the street with the full roof visible
  • Take the photo on a bright overcast day
  • Include the whole facade for context
  • Avoid a low angle that hides the ridge

Tips for better AI results

  • Preserve the roof pitch and chimney positions
  • Match new material to the local vernacular
  • Mention listed status in Special Requirements
  • Test with and without rooflights
