We got an unsolicited email promoting a “Remote Roofing Digital Experience”. It caught my eye, because it was funny. I don’t think a roof can be put on remotely. We’re working remotely at the accounting practice. But at a roofing company? I don’t think so. I think you actually have to be there to put on a new roof.
Reading on, though, this might actually make sense. They promise to do the roof inspection with a drone and smart phone. The transaction can be done remotely; no face-to-face meetings required. And we can pay with a credit card over the phone. No touching. It could work! They never actually say a crew of roofers won’t show up to do the work on-site.
The process might need to be clarified with the roofing company, but this might not be a spoof. It might be a clever approach from a local roofing company, trying to survive a difficult time.
