AI Roofing Assistant
Ask anything about roofs and roofing — flat vs sloping, which covering suits your climate, why your terrace leaks, what a roof costs, cool, green and solar roofs, waterproofing, drainage and pre-monsoon prep. It explains in plain language and helps you decide; a structural engineer and roofing contractor do the structure, waterproofing and any work at height.
Hi! I'm your roofing guide. Ask me anything — flat vs sloping, which material suits your climate, why a terrace leaks, what a roof roughly costs, cool/green/solar roofs, or how to prep before the monsoon. I'll explain and help you decide; structure, waterproofing and anything at height go to a qualified professional.
Guidance only — structure, waterproofing application and any work at height route to a structural engineer / licensed roofing contractor. See the roof safety guide.
Guidance, not a site visit. The assistant helps you understand and decide, and covers safe homeowner checks (looking from the terrace, keeping drains clear). For a real roof it’s no substitute for a qualified contractor or engineer on site. Building a project? Try the Roofing Brief Builder.
