We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Roof Age, our newest product designed to help you understand and manage the lifespan of your roof. Read on for the details…
Overview
Roof Age is a Nearmap product available for properties in the US. It predicts the roof installation date and therefore age of both residential and commercial roofs. The prediction uses Nearmap imagery, Gen 6 AI data and additional third party data including climate data, building permits and assessor year-built data to arrive at an accurate age estimation.
Roof Age predictions are aligned with property ownership by using parcel boundaries.
Accessing Roof Age
You can access Roof Age for a property in the following ways:
- In Betterview via the Construction tab - you can view imagery and compare roof age between two different survey dates.
- Via the Roof Age API - If you're a Nearmap user, you can use this API to retrieve roof age data that includes roof instances, age and type. You can augment this with information about roof condition, materials, objects and so on, using Roof Age API in conjunction with the AI Feature API.
- Via the Betterview APIs - If you're a Betterview user, you can use these APIs to get roof age data.
