Traditional Roof Estimates: How They Work and What to Expect
If you're not familiar with the process of getting a traditional roof estimate. It usually involves scheduling a visit from a salesperson or estimator.
The salesperson will come to your property, inspect your roof, and provide an estimate. The estimate is based on the measurements of the roof and the materials desired for the replacement.
While this process can be informative and thorough, it also has its drawbacks. Scheduling a visit from a salesperson can take time, and you'll need to be present during the inspection to answer any questions they might have. Plus, having someone come to your property may not be ideal if you're worried about your privacy or time.
Overall, traditional roof estimates can be a useful way to get an accurate quote for your roof replacement. Yet, they can also be time-consuming, intrusive, and less convenient than virtual estimates. We offer both, so if you'd prefer an onsite, schedule your inspection below.
Virtual Roof Estimates: How They Work and What to Expect
Virtual roof estimates are a modern alternative to traditional roof estimates. They allow you to get an accurate quote for your roof replacement. Without the need for a salesperson to come to your property.
Instead, virtual estimates rely on advanced imaging technology. Such as satellite imagery or drone footage, to provide an accurate measurement of your roof.
One of the biggest benefits of virtual roof estimates is convenience. You can get an accurate roof replacement estimate without the need for a salesperson to come to your property. Asking questions and looking to get you to sign a contract on the spot.
To get a virtual roof estimate, all you need is an internet connection and a smartphone or computer. Roofs are of different shapes and sizes, but keep in mind, the roof replacement process is the same.
Overall, virtual roof estimates are a convenient and efficient way to get an accurate estimate. They're useful if you're looking to avoid the hassle of in-person inspections or if you have a busy schedule. And save the overhead expenses associated with a salesperson driving to your home.
