ZestyAI uses advanced AI technology to analyze building permits and identify those related to completed re-roofing projects.
ZestyAI gathers high-resolution aerial photos of the property spanning the past 20 years and applies state-of-the-art image analysis techniques to distinguish roof replacements from other changes.
If building permits and historical aerial imagery are not available, ZestyAI analyzes the most recent high-quality aerial image of the property. By combining roof quality, material, and climate data, ZestyAI estimates the roof's current age.
“ZestyAI’s Roof Age solution was a clear choice for us due to its solid coverage length of historical imagery. By leveraging both building permit data and aerial imagery, we gain added confidence in our underwriting and rating decisions.”
