Storm season: measure the roof without getting on it
After a storm, the bottleneck is measurements
When a hail or wind event comes through, the inspections stack up faster than anyone can draw them. Every roof still needs a diagram before an estimate can be written, and that is where files sit for days.
You can keep inspecting and let the sketches come to you. Send the address after each stop; the roof is measured from aerial imagery and the Xactimate ESX comes back the same day — usually within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Nobody has to go back up to produce the numbers.
$22.00 per 1,500 sq ft, no subscription — so a heavy week costs what that week actually needed.
Why it holds up in storm work
Turnaround that keeps up
Most roof sketches come back within 30 minutes to 2 hours during business hours — complex properties up to 8.
Measured from the air
Aerial imagery of the property does the measuring, so a second trip up the ladder is not part of the process.
Ready for the estimate
An ESX that opens straight into Xactimate — the file moves the moment the sketch lands.
Pay per claim
$22.00 per 1,500 sq ft with no subscription. Volume weeks and quiet weeks cost what they should.
