• Roofing contractors can request a color-coded canvassing map of every roof over 15 years old within two miles of last night's hailstorm, filtered by roof type, roof area, roof age and roof condition.  
• Insurance claims managers can now ask which properties in a storm-affected region should be inspected first, ranked by damage likelihood and claim severity.  
• Property managers can identify which assets in a 50,000-unit portfolio are approaching maintenance risk and can prioritize and schedule maintenance and repairs.  
• Residential solar installers can enhance their sales effectiveness by leveraging Eagleview Horizon as a virtual geospatial analyst to help improve solar site prospecting, enhance lead qualification and enrichment and prioritize prospect outreach. 
• Government assessors and planners will be able to utilize Eagleview Horizon to predict areas that might be more severely impacted by weather, growth or complex logistical challenges.  
• Commercial roofers will more easily pinpoint structural changes, more safely and efficiently complete annual inspections and more quickly and confidently identify prospective projects. 
• Infrastructure managers will better manage their assets by analyzing and reviewing changes over time to more effectively identify and manage needed maintenance or upgrades. 
• GIS professionals will accelerate their interactions with geospatial intelligence to perform more sophisticated and comprehensive analyses. 
• Users with non-technical backgrounds will also be able to take advantage of geospatial analyses due to the democratizing power of GeoAI. 
• Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) professionals will search parcel characteristics at scale across geographic areas to optimize site selection, even screening for historical weather impact or intersection with flood zones.  
• Landscapers and other home services firms will be better able to prospect for new customers, more rapidly and accurately deliver project estimates, and better identify and conduct ongoing maintenance. 

Eagleview Horizon includes multiple Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations and more than 20 tools enabling agentic workflows that span property identification, filtering, scoring, and export in a single session. Unlike generic AI platforms, Eagleview Horizon is designed to identify opportunities users didn't know to look for. The proprietary aerial imagery and property intelligence found in Eagleview One are fused with curated and trusted external data sources, and customer-owned datasets into a single agentic experience. 

The platform is designed to empower industries that collectively represent more than $1 trillion in annual US economic activity: 

• Property and casualty insurance, where US direct premiums crossed $1.05 trillion in 2024 and where homeowners’ insurance losses surged more than 30% in the first half of 2025 alone as catastrophic weather events accelerated. 
• Roofing and construction, a $28 billion US market served by more than 100,000 contractors, the overwhelming majority of whom currently rely on manual workflows to identify storm-damaged leads. 
• Property management, a $120 billion global industry overseeing more than 45 million rental units, where the median occupied home is now over 41 years old.  
• Government and tax assessment, where $797 billion in property tax revenue depends on assessment accuracy that aerial change detection can materially improve. 

Eagleview Horizon combines both superior geospatial AI agents and extensive property intelligence derived from the company’s proprietary imagery library. The company generates aerial imagery that is among the highest-resolution available for North American properties with verified measurements, property intelligence and machine learning-generated condition signals now available. Change detection across the entire country will be available in the model shortly.

"Eagleview Horizon is not just a natural language-based search engine. It is a powerful agentic partner transforming how our customers will be able to work with geospatial intelligence all along their workflows," said Tripp Cox, chief technology officer of Eagleview. "And as a result, Eagleview Horizon delivers high-confidence operational efficiency and improved business outcomes. These are real results based on accurate and verified data and actual property intelligence." 

Bert Hess, CEO of Florida Roofing and Gutters, shared, "Identifying prospects for roofing projects used to take hours and required bouncing between three or four different tools and technology platforms. Eagleview Horizon does this in one place and does it better. It delivers those qualified prospects in just a few minutes. The targeting and time-saving capabilities are a game-changer for more effective canvassing."

The Eagleview team has improved their Assess drones with better anomaly detection and improved large-structure photography. 

Eagleview Assess™ is a drone-based program that captures high-resolution imagery of a roof. Those images can then be used in insurance claims and for project estimating. This is both a more efficient method (Eagleview’s drones are easy-to-fly and autonomous), but it is also safer, as it keeps contractors and insurance adjusters safe on the ground.  

Recently, our team made some enhancements and improvements to their drones, based on the feedback we received from professionals in the field. These include everything from better anomaly detection to better inspection photos of multifaceted structures. Keep reading to learn more about these new features!  

1 - More consistent hail anomaly detection 

With our improved anomaly detection, more legitimate hail hits are identified, and hail hits can be distinguished from other surface anomalies such as blistering, granule loss or general wear. 

This feature directly addresses issues that claims adjusters in particular have encountered. They now can fully trust the anomaly detection, and the reliability of the detection report helps adjusters create accurate repair estimates and make the best claims decisions. 

2 - Large structure inspections  

Our drones can take inspection photos of apartment complexes, churches, and other large structures that have multiple facets. 

This is important as large and complex roofs can be dangerous to inspect. For large buildings, our drones capture photos of the entire roof so adjusters can see the anomalies without having to climb onto the roof. Adjusters who fly our drones can now use them on a wider variety of property types. 

3 - High-resolution facet imagery added to anomaly reports 

We replaced the low-resolution mosaic imagery in our anomaly reports with high-resolution pictures of facets. Adjusters gain a clearer view of the facets and anomalies. 

The clarity of this new imagery helps adjusters and other professionals analyze the anomalies and have confidence in their claims analysis. With our upgraded imagery there are no pixelated or distorted images in the anomaly reports. 

4 - Improved test square movement and anomaly counting 

We improved the user controls for test square movement and analysis. When looking at roof anomalies in the user interface, an adjuster can move a test square to a new spot and set it there. The number of anomalies within that test square will be automatically calculated. 

Test squares can also be resized to fit specific areas on a roof. Adjusters can choose from preset sizes such as the standard 10-foot x 10-foot square or pick a 5-foot x 20-foot shape for longer roof slopes. 

Claims adjusters in particular benefit from this as it is now easier to count the anomalies within any given test square. Test squares can be ‘set’ in a specific location that an adjuster wants to analyze.

The report reveals optimism, early adoption and growing investment in AI for the geospatial community.

Eagleview, a leading provider of aerial imagery and intelligence, announces the release of its inaugural AI Impact and Adoption Report, a comprehensive look at how professionals are approaching artificial intelligence in their geospatial workflows across a variety of industries including government, insurance, construction, utilities and real estate.

Drawing on responses from more than 100 industry professionals, the report offers a glimpse into how organizations are evaluating and adopting AI today.

The primary findings reveal that the users of GIS tools, aerial imagery and geospatial data are highly optimistic about AI’s potential, yet measured and methodical about adoption.

Professionals are optimistic — but want proof, accuracy and oversight

Nearly half of respondents (48%) described themselves as cautiously optimistic about AI, with another 23% expressing strong enthusiasm. However, respondents made clear that trust, accuracy and transparency remain essential for adoption. In fact, 66% cited accuracy as their top concern when evaluating AI-powered aerial insights. Professionals want tools that reduce manual work, increase decision-making speed, enhance accuracy and are advocating for this in response to the black-box automation of yesteryear.

AI adoption remains early, but momentum is building

While many organizations are still exploring where AI fits into their workflows, usage is beginning to grow. Only 5% of respondents said their organization is deeply familiar with AI and actively using it today, but 44% expect their AI investment to increase over the next 12 months. The biggest barriers to adoption include lack of internal expertise (43%), cost of implementation (19%) and data privacy or security concerns (13%).

“Across industries, teams are excited about the impact AI can have. But they’re equally clear that accuracy, oversight and real-world utility matter more than hype,” said Piers Dormeyer, CEO of Eagleview. “This report shows that organizations want practical tools that help them work faster and smarter.”

Demand is highest for tools that improve visibility, efficiency and field operation efforts

Respondents identified AI-enhanced geospatial analytics (50%), advanced change detection and predictive insights (46%) and remote property assessments (43%) as the top capabilities they want to adopt over the next three years. These priorities reflect a desire for better visibility, faster insights and reduced manual effort. Notably, these are areas where AI-driven aerial intelligence is already showing a measurable impact.

Leadership and technical teams are driving AI decisions together

AI purchasing and adoption decisions are most influenced by C-level executives (41%), but GIS teams (33%) and IT/data science departments (31%) also play crucial roles in shaping how solutions are evaluated and implemented. Accuracy, ROI and integration with existing workflows ranked as the top decision criteria when evaluating AI solutions.

Eagleview continues to lead in practical, trusted AI for aerial intelligence

With nearly a decade of experience delivering AI-powered tools, including automated change detection, sketch verification and large-scale property analytics, Eagleview is uniquely positioned to help organizations move from interest to impact.

“Whether teams are just beginning to explore AI or are ready to scale, they need partners who can meet them where they are,” said Tripp Cox, chief product & technology officer of Eagleview. “We are committed to transparency, accuracy and customer readiness which is why you will see us continue to roll out new, high-impact AI capabilities developed through Eagleview Labs, our recently announced AI initiative for tech innovators, customers and channel and industry partners.”

The full AI Impact and Adoption Report is available now and provides detailed insights, benchmarks and recommendations for organizations at every stage of AI maturity. Download the full report here.

Exploring the Roofing Industry Trends Report with industry experts. 

The 2025 Roofing Industry Trends Report is out now! This survey asked contractors around the country about how their businesses have done this year and gives powerful insights into what’s driving the roofing industry today. To take a closer look at the takeaways from the report, Heidi J. Ellsworth sat down with Tammy Hall of CFS Roofing, Brad Van Dam from Carlisle Architectural Metals and Scott Brennan of Eagleview for an episode of Coffee Conversations.  

This year’s Trends Report marks nine years of RoofersCoffeeShop® working in partnership with longtime sponsor QXO to conduct the survey. The survey was conducted from May 2025 to September 2025 and recorded over 200 responses. Of those responses, there were contractors from 36 different states representing all parts of the roofing industry, from commercial (31%) and residential (27%) to new construction (50%) and service and maintenance (42%).  

Looking at the overall results, Scott noticed a few trends that will change how contractors will do business moving forward into 2026. He shared, “Looking at all these numbers, we’re seeing the lead sales jumping up and the economy jumping up. Contrarily, in insurance-heavy markets, claims are down 35-40% across the country. And so a lot of contractors are having to pivot to retail sales strategies rather than insurance-based strategies.” 

So how are contractors making that change? They’re focusing on recruiting new employees and retaining existing ones. In fact, interest in recruitment and retention jumped from 78% to 96% in the last year. Tammy shared her thoughts, adding, “People are realizing retention is a powerful tool for businesses, especially when it comes to keeping key employees. They are also recognizing that culture and benefits and all those things are important. And  the ability to implement culture on a daily basis is everyone's responsibility, from your leadership all the way down through your entire organization.”    

It’s important to note that even as the market shifts slightly and companies renew their recruitment and retention initiatives, the roofing industry is generally in a good place. Brad took a moment to note the endurance of this industry. He explained, “What stood out to me right at the top, was the material availability data. A number of years ago, the COVID crisis brought a lot of difficulty for our industry, especially when it came to supply chains.” We can see this reflected in the 2024 trends survey and the fact that material availability was in the top 3 concerns for contractors. However, that concern has shifted with material availability, dropping out of the top ten concerns in 2025. Brad shared, “It shows how the construction industry really fought that, worked its way through all of that, and it’s great to see the availability coming back.”

The 2025 Trends Report outlines the challenges contractors face and the key needs shaping the industry today. 

RoofersCoffeeShop®, the award-winning website where the industry meets for technology, information and everyday business, announces the release of its latest Roofing Industry Trends Report, sponsored by QXO. This Trends Report, which gathered information from May to September 2025, reveals current business issues contractors are facing, innovative strategies companies are using to recruit, train and retain talent and explores the pressures shaping operations today. 

“We depend on the insights of roofing contractors to understand what is happening across the industry. The Trends Survey gives us clear insight into what contractors are experiencing and what their greatest needs are so we can continue to offer meaningful tools, training and connection,” stated Lauren White, editor at The Coffee Shops and project manager for annual Trends Report.  

The findings from the report were the subject of a Coffee Conversations® episode featuring a panel of roofing professionals who spoke to the issues they are seeing and hearing every day from contractors across the U.S. and Canada. Ellsworth was joined by Scott Brennan of Eagleview, Brad Van Dam of Carlisle Architectural Metals, Tammy Hall of Southwest Florida Roofing Contractors Association (SWFRCA) to take a closer look at the trends highlighted by the survey and report.  

Below are some key findings from the information gathered from the 201 respondents: 

• The top three business issues at the time of taking the survey were: recruitment and retention, hiring and material cost 
• Over 50% of respondents indicated having a labor shortage in the field 
• Referrals are among the top recruiting methods that work for nearly 70% of respondents 
• New hire training was identified as the greatest training need amongst respondents 
• Digital advertising remains the greatest marketing need of respondents 

Since 2016, RCS has surveyed contractors in the industry and developed seven Trends Reports to date that examine the challenges contractors face, what they value and the tools and technology they rely on to grow their businesses.
