Off-Season Tech Upgrades: Essential Tools to Boost Spring Sales for Residential Roofers

While the winter months see an inevitable slowdown in roofing jobs, they offer an opportunity for residential roofers to gear up for the spring season. Take advantage of cold weather and limited daylight to explore new technology upgrades — a goal many roofers have but few can complete while they’re busy in warmer months.
Winter provides the time to research, implement, and master digital tools for roofers to boost spring sales. With the right technologies, you can increase operational efficiency, build customer confidence, and cut a competitive edge in your evolving industry. Read on to learn about the solutions roofing companies choose to do more jobs in less time, cement stronger customer relationships, and boost sales even before spring hits.
Drone Solutions for Better Safety, Accuracy, and Efficiency
Drones are changing the game for roofers. Using drones to capture high-resolution aerial imagery of roofs from the safety of the ground allows roofers to avoid hazards associated with physically inspecting roofs. You can respond quicker to bids and complete more jobs in less time as well.
Drones enable you to obtain highly precise data about roof conditions as they capture more details with greater accuracy than humans do. EagleView AssessTM drones specifically are proven to capture five times as many impact marks on roofs when compared to human inspections.
This level of accuracy allows you to provide more precise estimates to customers, order the right types and amounts of material the first time, and even validate insurance claims to expedite roof repair projects.
Property Reports for Lightning-Fast Quotes
Property report tools like EagleView Measurement Reports integrate with roofers’ customer relationship management (CRM) solutions to speed up quoting and ordering. EagleView’s software specifically supports ordering roof and exterior measurements directly from within your CRM to streamline the quoting process.
With this integration, roofers can:
- Connect measurement reports with job records and contacts automatically
- Store property reports with associated job files automatically
- Auto-populate property data in job estimates
- Auto-populate homeowner addresses in order forms for faster ordering
EagleView Visualizer for Stronger Sales Ahead of Spring
Consider technology solutions that let you quote projects during winter so you can establish a queue of work for when the weather warms up. EagleView Visualizer is a complete virtual selling solution that lets you visualize designs within Renoworks Pro and subsequently quote jobs by connecting to EagleView for accurate measurements and 3D models.
Visualizer is powerful sales software that enables roofers to upload a photo of a prospect’s home and then collaborate with the homeowner to choose designs, materials, and colors. Customers get more engaged in the design process while you gather everything you need to start the project off right in spring.
EagleView SolarReady for New Lines of Business
Homeowners are increasingly choosing solar installations to reduce electricity costs over time, decrease their dependence on the grid, and embrace a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Roofers that want to capitalize on this moment are adding solar to their business offerings. Solar has the potential to deliver high-margin revenue and entrench your organization in a market that is only expected to grow. Use the winter months to start familiarizing yourself with how to sell solar. Consider researching regulations, partnering with experienced distributors, and training yourself in the basics.
When you’re ready to incorporate solar, EagleView’s SolarReady tool for roofers allows you to identify homes that have the greatest solar potential. This tool helps you quantify market opportunity, target only the most qualified leads, and win more solar jobs.
