Roof inspections have always relied on test squares to evaluate damage. But the process itself has remained surprisingly manual.
Different inspectors choose different locations. Test squares can vary in size or placement. And conclusions often depend on interpretation rather than consistent data.
Virtual Test Squares is a a new patented technology that brings consistency, precision, and objectivity to roof inspections.
Instead of relying on manually selected inspection areas, Virtual Test Squares automatically generate standardized 10×10 inspection squares using AI, 3D models, and precise measurements—helping inspectors, contractors, and insurance professionals evaluate roof damage with greater confidence.
Moving Roof Inspections From Opinion to Data
Traditional test squares are intended to provide a representative sample of roof damage. But because they are selected manually, results can vary widely depending on who performs the inspection.
Virtual Test Squares remove that variability.
By combining AI damage detection, a 3D roof model, and validated measurements, IMGING automatically generates test squares placed on the correct roof plane. The result is a consistent and repeatable inspection process across teams, companies, and inspections.
This shift transforms roof inspections from subjective assessments to data-validated documentation.
How Virtual Test Squares Work
The process begins with an IMGING inspection.
- AI analyzes aerial imagery to detect hail, wind, and impact damage.
- A 3D model of the roof defines slope, pitch, and orientation.
- Precise measurements triangulate roof geometry for accurate calculations.
- Virtual Test Squares are generated, ensuring a true 10×10 inspection area—even on steep or complex roof structures.
- Damage counts and measurements flow into a structured report compatible with estimating platforms like Xactimate.
The result is a repeatable inspection process that eliminates guesswork and improves consistency across inspections.
What Makes Virtual Test Squares Different?
Virtual Test Squares is a patented, industry-disrupting technology that moves roof inspections from opinion-based to data-validated.
Virtual Test Squares are the first to:
Automatically generate 10×10 test squares using AI, 3D roof geometry, and precise measurements.
Place test squares on the correct roof plane, and deliver a non-biased branded roof inspection report
Deliver consistent, repeatable results across inspections, teams, and industries.
One Report. One Source of Truth.
Roof inspections often sit at the intersection of roofing contractors, insurance carriers, adjusters, and property owners.
When inspections rely on manual test squares, disagreements can arise about placement, measurements, and damage counts.
Virtual Test Squares provide a standardized, data-driven inspection reference that all stakeholders can review.
By delivering consistent results across inspections and teams, Virtual Test Squares help reduce disputes and increase confidence in the inspection process.
