EAGLEVIEW ROOF MEASUREMENTS

[@groron1]

I have a multiple pitched roof. It is a 1901 farm house with an attached garage, breezeway, and wraparound porch. The original part of the house is a steep pitched roof. Over the years a large room was added on the house. I just had a new roof installed with architectural shingles. Allstate okayed a complete re-roof due to hail damage and also the shingles did not pass a bridle test. Allstate is giving my roof contractor a hard time about the amount of shingles he used. Allstate says it's a 50% discrepancy with their satellite measurement. He called it "EYE IN THE SKY"! My contractor remeasured the roof in the area where the large room was added as requested by Allstate. After 2 weeks they still haven't released the money.

I would love to see a video of what you're talking about

If you're in Colorado, you should check out RoofScope, they are from Denver and was started by a guy who had a construction company there and eagleview was all he could use and figured he could do a better job keeping just the contractor in mind and not dipping your toes into any industry that could utilize detailed ariel imagery. Eagleview sought to buy out or sue for infringement any company trying to do Ariel estimates. They patented a certain equation that needed to be used in order to do it and no other method existed for a long time. That's like parenting y=mx+b and suing any company for using the forma. Well Roofscope skips that and created their own software and image database and dont use machine learning to draw the estimate, they actually use an engineer. When you buy EagleView you're just supporting all the other things they are doing like further developing their machine learning for purposes no construction related and also liscensing their images and software to the government to do god knows what with. When you buy roofscope, your dealing with a company who plans on using their images and company for just contractors and the insurance companies trying to short them. Their engineers are more accurate than eagleviews algorithm.

I had a eagleview done by my insurance company and although the initial measurements were correct the estimate was based on exact measurements with no account for partial packages cost the same as full ones. No accounting for 10% wastage. (eg .78 of a package cost in reality is one package.) Tax rates listed varied from. 1.7% to 3% yet my tax rate is 7%. Even the material cost was not reality.. The called it a combined labor material ,which is a lie as no labor was included. Example- roofing cost actual was $7920.00 with receipts. Eagleview estimate was $5082.00. with no proofs. USE anything except EV as it is very inaccurate and not up to date.
