Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


I represent precigeo ( www.precigeo.com ). My company has been in the business of generating schematics from overhead imagery for 7 years. Our schematics include all the detail a roofer needs. We also measure pitch using technology that we've developed. Our customers include some of the top carriers and solar installers.

Please go to our website for a free measurement. I am confident that you will find that our quality and price are a compelling combination.

P.S. If you're in the business of solar panel installation, contact us. We can provide you a map that shows you where to place the solar panels.

Thank you,
Sam

Re: Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


Some vendors have been much easier to deal with and that will be something to consider when I make my final analysis, which I must remind you all, will wind up being an evolving referral list, since this technology is becoming so prevalent and with more and more of them entering the field of competition, the price levels will automatically come down, as newer software tweaks are made to render the useage to becoming completely SAAS available, with no other human intervention from the company offering the product.

Some vendors of various other types of products that I have thoroughly tested and reported on have alerted me that their sales and recognition has risen dramatically, precisely due to the commentaries I have made and referred to them.

I forsee that someday soon, an organization that I know about, that is in the beta development stage, will have access to all of the proven products on the market, with substantial group discouts available, due to the sheer volume of appropriate demographically selected contractor candidates available to utilize the resources affiliated with the group.



Here are a few of the MANY services that I have handy to list here right now for others to compare also.

There are about 40-50 other sites that I did not list yet.

Does anyone have any sites to add to my list for any of the categories?

Re: Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


I went to the Precigeo website and requested a free report and did not get any response.

I wonder what kind of service I would get as a customer.

I wonder how long it would take to get a report.

I am still trying to understand the benefit of this service because I would still have to visit the site for the evaluation. It would save a little time but I’m not sure if that benefit would out weigh the cost.

Re: Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


There seem to be as many roof measuring companies as there are roofing companies. I'm willing to bet 99% of these companies are using licensed technology issued by the 1% with the means to develope such technology. IN other words you'd probably be getting the exact same thing regardless who you hire, other than the servie of the particular company.

Then again I am just guessing.

Re: Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


Grumpy,


There really are not many companies that do the satellite measuring. But the ones that do, do not all have the same access to the same info. However, I am curious if you have tried one out? Were you satisfied with what you got? (guessing not) And if you would try it again, for FREE? I am not gonna brag or tell you a bunch of stories. Just give us a try! Roofwalk.com Send me a yes, I'll try it and I will get you set up. I think 10 minutes is worth saving the time of sending somebody up on a roof. Or send me a house you have already done. Then you can compare your math to ours.


Adam

Re: Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


Hi I'm new to the forum but was looking at using these services for our estimates. With the little I know about satellite imagery I don't understand how these services are able to determine roof pitch from a flat image?

I guess I need to understand that before I start ordering and end up making a bunch of field changes.

Any documents or explanations all these services determine pitch?

Thanks

Joe

Re: Roof Measurements and Solar Measurements


The pitches thing I cannot explain. I can tell you this, we have and algorithm that does the math. We have people that are trained to do the pitches. I have not gotten a complaint about our math yet. We have a money back guarantee that our report will be within 4%. Most of our reports are 1% or less. I am standing by our try us for free(within reason, don't ask for a 20 building complex). You can use a house that you have already done and have the calculations. My FREE coupon is good until 8/31/10. Anyone on here can use it at time of sign up. Go to ROOFWALK.com, sign up, load an address and verify the house on our maps and go to pay now. Enter the coupon code -----tryrwam---- it is good for $39.95, our average house cost. The information that we offer as our only package. It is more extensive and detailed than anyone else on the market that offers a PREMIUM package!

Please email or call me with any questions!

Thanks,

Adam

I like your post very much. A friend of mine is looking to install a solar system. I will definitely give him your reference.
