CertainTeed Corp. is partnering with Aerialogics, a supplier of aerial- measurement services to the roofing and insurance industries.

CertainTeed will use Aerialogics' technology for corporate estimating, warranty and strategic account applications. CertainTeed will also provide custom aerial-measurement services to its approved roofing contractors, as an in-house professional estimating tool. The company says the tool is proven to reduce estimating costs while increasing the efficiency and productivity of contractors' business operations.

"Aerial measurement services are a cost-effective solution that we are excited to extend to our credentialed contractors and utilize internally as a component of corporate incentive programs, warranty documentation and solar estimating," said Jay Butch, director of contractor programs at CertainTeed. "We are also pleased Aerialogics will fully customize their services for our credentialed contractors, making it easy for them to adopt aerial measurements to lower estimating costs, improve project planning and communication, reduce waste and increase close ratios with custom reports being effective presentation tools."

Sean Green, CEO of Aerialogics, said the company is happy about working with CertainTeed.

"We are excited to tailor our technology to CertainTeed's specific internal needs and provide a customized, value-added service that promises to improve the business results of their credentialed contractor base. We look forward to a long and productive collaboration," he said.
