Chris Munson, owner of ACC Roofing, is a fully licensed commercial drone pilot and is out to help local homeowners as another violent Texas spring approaches. Drone photos combined with AI, or “Artificial Intelligence,” software generates damage reports in real time. They can be submitted directly to the insurance company ensuring fast roof replacements and roof repairs when homeowners need it the most. Some insurance carriers even accept the reports to directly process claims. As one of the top roofing contractors in Arlington, TX, Munson knows by experience that these latest tools are extremely valuable in eliminating errors, preventing roofing scams, and providing peace of mind. Especially to those that have two story homes or steep roofs that are difficult and unsafe to walk on.
“We see homeowners desperate to get their property evaluated quickly after a storm, but climbing a roof is dangerous and they have no easy way to know if their roof has damage” says Munson. He states further that “They are vulnerable to incomplete and inaccurate ‘Free Inspections’ where only a couple of pictures may be taken or even worse no pictures are taken at all. Homeowners are left to take the contractors word for it. This sometimes leads to frivolous claims hoping that the insurance company will pay for marginal damage. We want to change this part of the industry by offering something completely unique, safe, and reliable.”
