Hear me out… Amazon will sell roof replacements one day soon.
I think it's much more likely than most people realize. Amazon already has most of the capabilities needed:
- AI analyzes satellite imagery and drone inspections.
3.AI measures the roof, detects damage, estimates material quantities, and generates a quote.
4.The customer accepts the quote online.
Materials are ordered automatically and delivered just before installation.
A vetted subcontractor accepts the job through an app.
Quality is verified with post-installation drone imagery.
Amazon's strengths in logistics line up perfectly, think about it:
Scheduling crews efficiently.
Buying shingles in enormous volume at lower prices.
Optimizing logistics.
Financing purchases instantly.
Standardizing quality control.
Building customer trust with reviews and guarantees.
I think the home improvement industry as a whole
Is in a lot more danger than people realize.
I mean Carvana blew up purely because people didn’t like dealing with salesmen, what’s right behind car sales in scumminess? That’s right.
EDIT: LOL I hit a sore spot with some of the old heads here. Hot button topic.
