Piers Dormeyer shares how Eagleview One helps contractors better understand structures with 3D modeling.  

Recently, Piers Dormeyer, the CEO of Eagleview, stopped by for a Roofing Road Trips® episode focused on their new platform, Eagleview One, and how it equips contractors with the tools needed to succeed in the modern market. Piers opened the conversation by talking a bit about what Eagleview One does, sharing, “The mission of Eagleview One is to move beyond the 2D measurement reports we’re known for, not that that's not important, and help contractors solve more problems by taking that data and creating a 3D visualization that showcases the property and the environment around it.”  

How is it possible to present a visualized model that is accurate enough to be useful? Eagleview uses high-tech planes to take incredibly precise aerial images of a structure. These images are captured at one inch GSD accuracy, which is 30-60 times higher resolution than satellite images (which is what you might find from Google street view, for reference). Using these high-definition images, they are able to create high-quality, accurate reports. In fact, a third-party engineering company has verified the accuracy of Eagleview’s measurements by conducting independent roof audits and found that Eagleview  “has 99% accuracy on roofs and 97-98% accuracy on the walls.” 

The Eagleview One platform takes this success a step further. By using tech tools, including AI, the Eagleview team is able to translate the images and the reports into a 3D model that allows contractors to truly get the full picture of their jobsite. As Piers put it, “There's a lot more information available behind those pixels than just the squares on a roof. So, really seeing it in 3D helps you understand certain part of the property that are harder to conceptualize in numbers.”

From above the rooftops of New York’s Financial District, Eagleview Horizon ™ introduces a new era of geospatial intelligence.  

From 60 floors above Manhattan, with sweeping views of rooftops stretching toward the skyline’s endless horizon, Eagleview introduced a product designed to change how the industry sees and works with property data. The setting at the Roebling Room at Manhatta was more than symbolic. It perfectly reflected the vision behind Eagleview Horizon™; a new way to look across properties, portfolios and entire regions with clarity, speed and intelligence.  

Attending the launch, I was struck by how fitting it was to stand above the very rooftops that define so much of our industry. With New York City’s complex landscape below, Eagleview unveiled a technology built to simplify that complexity through advanced geospatial intelligence and agentic AI. With a room full of industry leaders, it was a proud moment for me personally to attend the launch, since I was also a part of the Eagleview startup. Horizon is truly a culmination of the hard work put in from the very beginning by many people throughout the last three decades who have been focused on empowering industries with highly precise data produced from aerial imagery.  

Eagleview Horizon is not just another tool. It represents the evolution of more than 25 years of verified property intelligence combined with cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Built on the foundation of Eagleview One™, the platform leverages one of the most comprehensive aerial imagery datasets in the country to deliver actionable insights across roofing, construction, insurance, government and property management.  

What makes Horizon stand out is its ability to act as an intelligent partner rather than a passive platform. Users can interact with AI agents to analyze properties, identify opportunities and make decisions faster than ever before. Whether it is a roofing contractor identifying storm-damaged areas or a property manager prioritizing maintenance across thousands of units, the system transforms workflows that once took hours into minutes.  

From a roofing perspective, the implications are significant. Contractors can now request detailed, color-coded maps showing aging roofs within a defined radius of a storm, filtered by critical data points such as roof type, size and condition. This level of targeting has the potential to redefine how contractors approach sales, inspections and long-term planning. It is truly a game changer.  

Today, the reach of Eagleview One and Eagleview Horizon extends far beyond roofing, addressing a much broader ecosystem. Insurance professionals can prioritize claims based on damage likelihood. Government agencies can better assess risk and plan infrastructure. Solar companies can refine prospecting and improve conversion. Across industries representing more than $1 trillion in economic activity, the common thread is the need for faster, more accurate decision-making driven by reliable data.  

What resonated throughout the launch was the emphasis on trust. Every insight delivered by Eagleview Horizon is backed by high-resolution imagery and verified property data. In an era where AI is often questioned for accuracy, this commitment to data integrity sets a new standard. The atmosphere at the launch reinforced that message. Looking out over the city, it was easy to see the scale of what Eagleview is addressing; millions of structures, each with their own story, condition and opportunity.  

The launch was just the beginning. Eagleview Horizon was featured in The Wall Street Journal and on video screens in Times Square. The full launch will take place in August of 2026.  This first step was not just memorable but a proud moment for the roofing industry overall.  

As the event concluded and the city's lights began to reflect off the rooftops below, one thing was clear; Eagleview Horizon is not just about seeing properties from above. It is about understanding them in entirely new ways and turning that understanding into real-world results.  

For contractors, manufacturers, insurers and property professionals, this launch signals a shift. The horizon is no longer a distant line. With the right technology, it is now a starting point for smarter decisions and stronger business outcomes.

Get a more complete view of the built environment with Eagleview One’s complete exterior property intelligence.  

A little under a year ago, Eagleview launched a new platform that brought all of their tools together in one space – Eagleview One! As Eagleview CEO Piers Dormeyer said at the time, “Eagleview One is an exciting new chapter in our company’s storied history. Our customers will now be able to access the highest resolution imagery combined with rapid, AI-powered innovations that deliver unrivaled property and asset insights. [And this is] just the beginning. We will be continuously releasing new features to help our customers solve their most pressing business challenges while unlocking additional value from the trusted Eagleview solutions that they’ve counted on for decades.”  

And today, they have followed through on that promise by continuing to innovate and improve the Eagleview One platform. In fact, just last month (March 2026), they announced a major platform update at their virtual Eagleview One Star Event – The expansion of Eagleview’s property data to include complete exterior 3D imaging.  

Dimitri Vollkmann, Eagleview’s head of product marketing, described this update:  

The release builds on Eagleview’s history of helping industries make property decisions with high-resolution aerial imagery, accurate measurements and property intelligence—reducing the need for ladders and on-site inspections. With full exterior 3D now in-platform, Eagleview is extending that legacy into a more complete view of the built environment.   

In action, this update gives both commercial and residential contractors access to an interactive 3D visualizer (based on high-resolution ortho and oblique imagery) that allows them to navigate a model of the building they are working on. Within this visualizer, users can toggle between different structures, zoom in on specifics, isolate sections, overlay additional images and more.  

The benefits of this are expansive. Not only does this make it easier than ever to bid by reducing the need for site visits, it also helps with material takeoffs, safer property assessments, improved project transparency and more. As Tripp Cox, chief product & technology officer of Eagleview surmised, “The continuously usable, interactive digital representation of the property replaces fragmented data, manual workflows, unnecessary site visits and outdated records with real intelligence our customers can act on immediately for their routine and complex projects.”

How technology is changing the homeowner purchasing process and reshaping contractor marketing strategies. 

In a new Read Listen Watch® (RLW), Megan Ellsworth sat down with Dan Shurtz of Aletheia Digital and Nick Knellinger of Eagleview for a conversation about how innovative tech solutions can help you manage evolving home and business owner expectations. Aletheia Digital is a marketing company that focuses on helping contractors in maximizing website design, SEO optimization, lead acquisition and brand management.  

Dan opened the conversation by sharing some insight into how home and business owner expectations have shifted recently:  

Homeowners are getting a lot more comfortable with technology and looking for more transparency when it comes to purchases... Additionally, we’ve also seen data that's indicating as many as 60-80% of people prefer to have a salesperson-less experience. And to be clear, this data isn’t saying the job of sales is going away, but it is showing independence in homeowners to do their own research and have more control in the process. 

Because of this shift in expectations, with homeowners no longer expecting a salesperson to present everything and instead seeking out information themselves, contractors need to start changing the way they market and sell to clients.  

For example, SEO (search engine optimization) and AEO (answer engine optimization) are huge sources of lead generation. Dan shared a bit about these two tools, saying, “SEO is familiar; roofers are used to seeing Google and other search engines as lead sources. As for AEO, many contractors aren’t accustomed to seeing ChatGPT or other AI chatbots as lead sources...But the truth is that 37% of all homeowner searches now start with an AI platform and then verify it using traditional search engines (SEO still drives 35 times more traffic than AI engines do).”  

The result of this is that contractors need to shift where their marketing budgets go. Dan explained, “Your truck wraps and your yard signs and your outdoor billboards, they are becoming less important as your online presence – think your website, your Google business profile, your YouTube channel, your social media platforms, etc.” 

One recommendation for contractors looking to shift their budgets is to invest in online, quick quoting tools. Nick explained, “A quick quoting tool on your website can be key. A lot of consumers looking for control over the roofing process will be directed to that and by seeing numbers about their actual roof, you build a lot of trust.” For example, investing in something like QuickQuote, which is powered by Eagleview’s data, is a great way to get high value leads even as homeowner expectations change.

Renoworks Pro helps contractors present design options and pricing in one seamless experience. 

In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Karen Edwards spoke with Jenni McMorran of Renoworks to discuss how Renoworks Pro’s Instant Estimator is helping contractors present designs and pricing together to streamline the sales process and improve closing rates.  

Within the platform, contractors can generate a design report that showcases multiple product and color options alongside pricing tiers. “In the visualizer, it has a design report which allows the contractor to create different versions of that design,” Jenni explained. “Within that design report, they can now have a design with a ‘good’ price, a design with a ‘better’ price and a design with the ‘best’ price.” The report can be emailed, printed or shared digitally, allowing for quick and easy proposals.  

Alongside the convenience and flexibility these reports offer, accuracy has been a key focus in the design of the tool. Powered by Eagleview data, the tool delivers measurements that Jenni said are highly reliable. “From our internal testing, we found it’s no more than 3 to 5% off, so around 95% accurate,” she said, noting contractors can also pull a more detailed measurement report within the platform if needed. 

Designed to integrate into any contractor’s existing workflow, the instant estimate is generated in less than a minute, helping contractors close deals in one call. “You can show the design, talk through the materials and give that price all in that same visit,” Jenni said. For contractors that use a two-call close, the instant estimator can help build trust and confidence. “It can help set expectations early, so instead of the homeowner sitting in suspense, they get a realistic sense of what things might cost. That way, the final quote isn't a shock. It's a continuation of that conversation.” 

Looking ahead, Renoworks plans to expand its reach beyond the roof. “We’re working on expanding the feature to cover the entire exterior of the home,” Jenni shared. “Our goal is to give contractors a way to price out the full renovation project in real time while they’re sitting with the homeowner.”

Dive into the world of online roof estimates with Demand IQ’s Austin Rosenbaum and Eagleview’s Peter Cleveland. 

In a recent Read Listen Watch® (RLW), Megan Ellsworth sat down with Austin Rosenbaum and Peter Cleveland. Austin is the founder and CEO of Demand IQ, a company that, in his own words, supports “hundreds of home service and home improvement businesses with tools for instant online quotes.” Peter is Eagleview’s VP of partner strategy. In this role, he works with other companies that are using Eagleview’s arial data and measurement tools, like Demand IQ. Using both of their expertise, this duo dove into a discussion around one of Google's newest additions to their search tool – an online estimate filter.  

This filter is an optional button that appears in the Google browser when users search for roofers in their area. For homeowners, this button adds to the roofing process the immediate, online shopping experience that we’ve grown to expect in the age of technology. As Austin put it, “Google understands homeowners want immediate answers, so this is a shortcut for customer experience to keep their platform relevant and users happy.”  

For contractors, this new button can offer both challenges and opportunity. Peter elaborated, “To me, this is all about lead gen. Companies that can offer online estimates are going to get more informed leads and homeowners that feel more confident about the process because of the price visibility.” Alternatively, contractors that don’t offer online estimates will struggle. Austin explained, “We’re seeing estimates that between 1 in 4 homeowners are clicking on this online estimate button. So, if you are not participating in this new feature from Google, you’re looking at a possible 20% drop from your usual visibility.”  

At the end of the day, Google’s addition of this filter has made it crucial for contractors to have an online estimator. So, how do you add an estimator to your website? That’s Demand IQ’s specialty! As we mentioned earlier, their entire focus is connecting contractors and other professionals with instant online quote tools. Austin gave a short explanation of how their estimating tool works:  

Our tool is an estimator that goes into your existing website. Then, when a homeowner lands on the estimator page, they will be prompted to input their address. It will then pull up the roof, ask for confirmation that it is the right roof and start pulling up information. From there, the homeowner will be given a survey that has the homeowner share why they are looking at roofing options...Once that’s done, the program will scan the roof, pull together information (like cost per square for selected materials) and create an estimate report. 

Where is it getting the data needed to do all this? That’s where the partnership between Demand IQ and Eagleview comes in. Peter explained, “Our AI model has been trained off of the millions and millions of roof measurements that we’ve done in the last few decades. It also has access to and uses the high-resolution imagery we’ve been known for. The result is a very accurate program. When I talk to contractors that use the AI program, they tell me it’s within half a square of accuracy.”

How aerial roof measurements can unlock powerful project planning for your team. 

In the roofing industry, accuracy is everything. One wrong step can be a dangerous injury on the roof and one wrong measurement can mean thousands in lost revenue. Luckily, Eagleview provides a way for contractors like you to get accurate measurements and keep your crew safe on the ground until you know the state of the roof you are working on.  

Eagleview’s aerial roof measurement tool  

Eagleview’s measurement tool captures roofing data based on the more than 3.5 billion images in their library. How exactly does this work? A combination of high-resolution aerial imagery, advanced photogrammetry and AI modeling.  

The result? Contractors can get 98%+ verified roof measurement accuracy without having to leave the ground! This has a variety of benefits, including:  

• Financial savings: It’s estimated that Eagleview users have cumulatively saved $6.89 billion thanks to the measurement accuracy of Eagleview’s tech.  
• Increased efficiency: Manitoba Assessment found that their team were able to “identify property changes and unpermitted improvements directly from their desks,” saving them substantial time by eliminating factors like travel.  
• Safer workplaces: Getting on unfamiliar roofs to inspect or measure them is one of the most hazardous tasks for construction workers and insurance adjusters. Eagleview’s roof measurement tool removes the need for your team to go onto the roof, protecting them from potentially dangerous structures and physical risks. 

Integrating Eagleview in your operations 

So, how do you start taking advantage of Eagleview’s roof measurement tool? The best way is to integrate roof measurements your existing workflows. Not only does this make it easier for your team to learn how to use a new tool, but it keeps your operations streamlined and smooth. As the Eagleview team explains:  

[Integration] transforms how teams communicate. Estimators can see the same verified data as field crews and claims managers, reducing back-and-forth emails and misaligned updates. Project leads gain real-time visibility into active jobs, and decision-makers can compare productivity across offices or contractors without chasing down reports. Integrated aerial data also supports quality control and documentation. Every measurement is traceable back to verified imagery, making it easier to validate estimates, audit claims or maintain compliance records. 

A great way to make this integration reality is using connected platforms like Eagleview One™. This platform acts as a hub for all your projects, funneling your measurements data into 3D visualizations and reports that offer unrivaled insight into the roof you are working on.

Sherwin-Williams' Roofing Passport brings speed, accuracy and confidence to custom metal roofing bids. 

As metal roofing continues to gain ground in the residential market, Sherwin-Williams is equipping contractors with tools to compete more effectively. In this RLW®, Karen Edwards spoke with Junny Lee and Heather McGinnis of Sherwin-Williams about how the company’s Roofing Passport program is helping contractors streamline metal estimates and grow their businesses. 

Junny pointed to durability and longevity as key drivers behind metal’s rise. “We know that a metal roof is two, three, maybe four times longer than the lifespan of an asphalt roof,” Junny stated. Still, contractors face barriers when adding metal to their offerings. “We’ve narrowed it down to three things: lack of training, the cost perception or the uphill battle of upselling.” Through its MetalVue program, Sherwin-Williams addresses those concerns with training, sales support and data-backed performance metrics.  

Furthermore, their Roofing Passport program tackles one of the biggest hurdles: estimating custom metal jobs quickly and accurately.  

“As far as going into the home and bidding, the thing that we heard over and over again was the fact that it was hard, because it’s a custom product, to deliver on a bid for metal,” Heather said. “So, what we did as a company that just wants to get another piece of metal on a roof was to say: we need to simplify this estimating process. We need to make it easy. We need to be able to compete alongside with asphalt.”  

From there, Sherwin-Williams created Roofing Passport, a cloud-based software that ingests Eagleview reports, blueprints or XML files and generates a detailed takeoff report, including panel layouts, trim, accessories and fasteners. “It provides fewer errors and delays, it’s accurate and it’s an automated turnaround,” Heather shared, adding that estimates are typically within $200 of final costs. 

Notably, Sherwin-Williams does not charge contractors to use the platform beyond third-party report fees. “This is just something we wanted to do for the contractors to help get more metal up there,” Heather expressed.
