RiptideAbout

Software for roofers.

Riptide AI is a founder-led company based in Houston, TX. We build Roof Diagnose — AI roof damage reports in 30 seconds, with state-aware code citations and HAAG-aligned findings — for roofing contractors and the adjusters who pay them.

Our story

We built the AI tool roofing contractors kept asking for.

I spent 10+ years in digital strategy across Fiserv, BentoBox, and Rent-A-Center — shipping real systems for real operators. When I started looking at the roofing industry, the same pattern kept showing up: generic AI demos from people who'd never ridden in a service van or read a HAAG report.

The first roofing inspection I sat through made it obvious. Damage assessment was a half-day write-up. Every shop hand-typed Xactimate codes. Every adjuster wanted to see HAAG classifications the contractor didn't have a system for. So we built one.

That's Riptide Roof Diagnose — AI roof damage reports in 30 seconds, with state-specific code citations across 14 states (FBC, ORC, CRC, RCNYS, 780 CMR + more; IRC default elsewhere) and HAAG-aligned findings. Priced like software (from $99/month), built for the people who actually read the report.

The product leads. Every line of code we write is in service of one outcome: a report the adjuster can act on quickly.

How we work

Four operating principles we don't break.

01

30 seconds, not half a day.

Upload a photo; Roof Diagnose returns a HAAG-aligned damage report — severity, Xactimate codes, code citations — in about 30 seconds. The half-day write-up is gone.

02

Built for the report.

Every feature serves one outcome: documentation an adjuster can act on. State-specific code citations, HAAG classifications, a branded PDF — because that's the difference between a report that gets reviewed and one that bounces.

03

No contracts.

Roof Diagnose is month-to-month. No annual lock-ins, no setup fees, no salespeople. If it isn't working for you, cancel. That's the contract.

04

Human-friendly.

AI that does the write-up, not the inspection. Your team reads the roof — Riptide just turns the photos into the report the adjuster expects to review.

The team

Founder-led. Hands on every engagement.
