Drone roof inspections

A complete look at your roof, from the air.

We fly a camera drone over the whole roof and photograph every slope, ridge, valley and penetration up close. You get a full record of the roof's condition without anyone climbing a ladder or walking on damaged shingles.

Overview

Why inspect from the air?

A ground-level inspection only sees what's visible from the yard, and a quick walk-on inspection covers whatever is easy to reach. Steep pitches, second stories and back slopes are where damage is most often missed.

A drone reaches every plane of the roof in one visit. The photos are taken close enough to show individual hail bruises, lifted tabs and cracked flashing, and they stay on file long after the roof is replaced.

Questions

About drone roof inspections

Have a question that isn't here? Call (254) 449-2054.

How long does a drone roof inspection take?

Most homes take under an hour on site. Larger commercial roofs and multi-building properties take longer, and we'll give you a time estimate when we schedule.

Do you ever need to get on the roof?

Usually not. If something needs a hands-on check, such as testing a soft spot in the decking, we'll tell you and explain why.

Can you fly in any weather?

We fly when wind and rain are within safe limits for clear photos. If the weather turns, we reschedule rather than deliver blurry images.
