Get a Glimpse at the Future of Commercial Roofing

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter. 

John Kenney, John Kiesel and Kerrick Willis explain why aerial imagery is the future of commercial roofing. 

Optelos, Imagine Technologies Group and Cotney Attorneys and Consultants have come together to bring the most cutting-edge roofing inspection technology to the commercial roofing industry. Optelos allows for detailed roof assessments to be performed accurately at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional boots on the roof approach.  

John Kenney meets with John Kiesel and Kerrick Willis to deep dive into this technology and how to implement it into your roofing business. They discuss how this technology puts you at the cutting edge by helping to improve worker safety, reduce costs and leverage digital inspection data for better insights and business decisions. 

John Kenney highlights that a major advantage of the technology is that it comes from within the roofing industry saying, “There is a huge problem in our industry, and John used technology to solve that problem.” The Optelos solution is delivered through Imagine Technologies Group (ITG), born out of a desire to integrate visual data with existing rooftop data to help digitally transform the way rooftop assessments/takeoffs are performed and deliver even greater long-term results. 

“It can help you communicate and show especially that you are confident and a qualified contractor and deserve this job. It really helps to separate you from the pack,” says Kerrick. “It truly gives you a competitive advantage like nothing else I've seen.” 

Optelos’ visual inspection platform and drone captured data produces high-resolution images and 2D and 3D models for detailed roof assessments, providing unique insights into the conditions of their roofs, as well as assisting in the planning and inventory management of new roofing construction and repair projects.   

“Just having that real-time, very clear vision of what’s going on is outstanding,” says John Kiesel.
