Technology in the roofing industry is constantly evolving. The implementation of drones, mapping technology and robots that can install parts of the roof have made working on roofs safer and easier than ever before. However, aerial surveillance and photography is no substitute for putting contractors on the roof for inspections.

Along with these technologies, estimation software has made quoting a client easy and efficient. Even with these new technologies, roofing contractors need to be aware of the limitations of these technologies and avoid using them as a crutch.
