INACCURATE MEASUREMENTS ARE A SIGNIFICANT PROFIT KILLER IN THE ROOFING INDUSTRY.

...Insurance jobs generally pay reasonably well, somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 per square. The insurance companies most often use an EagleView Report to obtain their roof takeoffs. There are several potential problems with this from the Contractor's perspective. The EagleView reports are done by Technicians who not only have never been on the property they are measuring, many aren't even US Citizens. Often, the images they are using are of lower quality such as in Birmingham, AL where aerial flyovers were last performed in 2006. Those images are 10 years old and taken with outdated technology. The properties may have tree coverage which may prevent the technicians from seeing parts of the roof. This leads to roof reports that are too small. Too small means less money for the Contractor or wasted time supplementing with the insurance company.
