Roofing Quote USA 
Insurance companies figured out that the quicker they process your claim, the more likely you are to stay with them. As a result, they are investing in drone technology to perform inspections, quickly and cheaply. Many insurance companies are able to turn around claim requests within a couple of days. While we all appreciate a quick turnaround time, the quicker your claim is processed the more likely you are to lose out and get less than you should, or in some cases need, to sufficiently repair or replace your roof.
The Benefits of Using Drones
There are benefits of using drones to both the insurer and the customer. Safety is improved as the inspector doesn’t need to go onto your roof to examine it for damage. The whole claim process is quicker as the inspection can be done while you are away, with your permission, and can provide the necessary data and images for your claim to be processed more quickly, which means that your repairs can be booked sooner. If your neighborhood or town was hit by a storm and everyone needs repairs, getting your request in as quickly as possible can put you at the top of the list for roofing contractors who are flooded with requests.
The Dangers of Relying on Drones
While the improvements to speed and safety are welcome, there are limitations and draw backs to relying on drone technology.
- Accuracy – Drones may not be able to detect subtle but serious damage to your roof.
- No fly zones – There are some areas, like around airports and military bases where drones are prohibited.
- Regulations – The insurer must get your permission to fly the drone over your property and it must be in sight of the pilot at all times.
Do Your Due Diligence
Even in the best situations, it never hurts to get a second opinion or extra quotes to make sure you get the best value and price. The time involved in collecting multiple quotes can be off putting, especially if it is critical that your roof is repaired as soon as possible.
