Disadvantages of Virtual Roof Estimates: What You Need to Know
While virtual roof estimates do offer many advantages. Nothing is all rainbows and butterflies though, right? Not discussing the disadvantages of virtual roof estimates wouldn’t be fair. So, here’s a list of the disadvantages:
- Limited accuracy: Virtual estimates rely on satellite imagery. If you have heavy tree coverage it may not capture all the details of your roof. Some roof sections may not be able to be measured and may need a physical onsite inspection.
- Limited scope: Virtual estimates are not going to include a full assessment of your roof's condition. They only provide an estimate of the cost of replacing the roof, without identifying other potential issues or areas of concern. So, if you only need a roof leak repaired, you’ll need to schedule an inspection.
- Technology limitations: Virtual estimates rely on advanced technologies. These technologies may not always be reliable or may be affected by uncontrollable conditions. Such as tree coverage or location accuracy.
- Limited personal interaction: You won't get the benefit of face-to-face interaction with a sales rep. If you love social face-to-face interaction this may not be the best option for you.
- Less detailed estimates: Virtual estimates may not be as detailed as in-person estimates. When our roof estimators do an onsite inspection, they go into the attic to look for wood damage or structural issues.
