Every photograph on Terracotta Roof Co. is a real, openly licensed photo found through Openverse or Wikimedia Commons. None of them shows work by this site or by any particular roofing company. They illustrate tile roofs, the kind of homes that carry them, and what common repairs look like. Captions say where a photo was taken when the source says so.
