Want to Know A Secret?

Watch this video and see if you can tell me what it is?

Quite a few of you have an unfair advantage.

Vickie, I don't think I've ever talked to you. After watching the video twice, recording it on a reel-to-reel and playing it backwards for clues, searching the Wiki-decoder site for any tips, I decided I was trying to hard and gave up. Then it just came to me.

Xactware who is owned by ISO/Verisk, which is one of the nation's largest insurance inspections companies, now owns Eagle View.

Try to find a adjuster who knows how to manually measure a roof accurately, (without relying on EV).... Priceless.

Wywoody, have we ever talked?

BTW - that's it!

Is Ms. Vickie the voice of the lucky journalist that landed the Mr. tapemeasure interview?

Well, Old School and Roof Guy should know what my secret is. Listen again.

We have used them for years. Can not beat the detailed report.

Chuck, We replace every skylight on every job. Unless the customer signs a waiver that "we do not warranty anything within 5' of the skylight we did not replace".

I've said it all before but here goes. They can't tell me how much flashing work needs done, how many layers are on what parts of the roof, if there are any skylights that need replaced, rotten wood, ventilation issues, etc. etc.

But more importantly they can not shake the homeowners hand and close the sale. I can't tell you how many times the client said quote "I chose you because you were the only one that got up on the roof and checked everything out thoroughly". End quote.

Very cool! We began using Eagle View a good while back after hearing about it here on RCS. We wouldn't be without it now!

Every adjuster I've worked with accepts EV's measurements, and frankly, they really like the 13 pages of detail on each commercial project report as it saves them a ton of time and effort measuring.

Whether adjusters admit it or not, it always seemed to me that they were a LOT easier to get along with on a hail claim if I've done all the measuring and diagrams for them on a complex project that would take them 2 days in the hot sun to do. Time is money for them during hail season and if I save them a ton of time, they seem to be a little more agreeable on the damage. Just my experience.

I think we've done about 50 EV reports now and their people are really great to work with. If I'm in a bind I can pick up the phone, give them an address, and a few hours later the drawings and report is e-mailed to my iPad. It really adds a degree of professionalism to my roof condition reports as well.

They're about $85 for a commercial roof and I can usually talk them into including more than 1 building on a single report if they're at the same property.

Highly recommend Eagle View.

Hey, they advertise on here.
