🏠 Roof Inspections

Complete visual documentation of your roof from every angle—without a ladder, without risk, and without the bias of someone who profits from finding damage.

What Is a Drone Roof Inspection?

A drone roof inspection replaces the traditional ladder-climbing process with an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a professional-grade high-resolution camera. The entire inspection is performed safely from the ground, capturing detailed imagery of every roof section—slopes, valleys, flashings, and penetrations—that even a skilled inspector might miss from a ladder.

Why homeowners and property managers choose this approach:

  • Complete visibility of every roof section—nothing hidden
  • High-resolution photos you own and can keep forever
  • Zero foot traffic means zero risk of damage to your roof
  • No ladders, no liability, no one climbing on your property

What I Look For

A systematic inspection of every component—from shingles to soffits

AreaWhat I Check
ShinglesMissing, cracked, curling, blistering, or impact damage
Granule LossBald spots, excessive granules in gutters (sign of aging)
FlashingCondition around chimneys, vents, skylights, and sidewalls
ValleysWear patterns, debris buildup, water channeling issues
Ridge CapsLoose, missing, or wind-damaged ridge shingles
PenetrationsPipes, stacks, satellite dishes, and other roof protrusions
GuttersClogs, separation, granule accumulation, drainage flow
Soffit & FasciaRot, water staining, pest entry points, paint failure

🔥

Thermal Add-On Available

Add radiometric thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture and insulation gaps.

🔥 Thermal Imaging

Radiometric thermal scans detect what the naked eye can't—trapped moisture, air leaks, and insulation failures hiding beneath your roof's surface.

💧

Trapped Moisture

Water-saturated insulation retains heat differently than dry material, appearing as cool spots on thermal scans long before stains appear on your ceiling.

🌬️

Air Leakage

Identify gaps around vents, chimneys, and roof penetrations where conditioned air escapes—driving up energy costs year-round.

📉

Missing Insulation

Thermal patterns reveal voids, compressed, or settled insulation that compromises your home's energy efficiency from above.

❄️

HVAC Issues

Detect duct leakage and poorly sealed rooftop units—common on commercial properties with multiple RTU penetrations.

🌪️ Post-Storm Damage Assessment

Date-stamped aerial evidence for insurance claims—document hail impacts, wind damage, and debris strikes before cleanup begins. Critical for successful claim outcomes.

Insurance Deadlines

Most policies require filing within 12 months of the storm event. Don't risk your coverage by waiting until the damage worsens.

🧠

Evidence Fades

Document damage immediately while it's fresh. Wind blows debris away, rain washes off hail spatter, and memory fades when adjusters ask questions.

🌧️

Subsequent Storms

If another storm hits before you document the first one, your claim becomes significantly more complicated. Establish what happened when.

🔍

Hidden Damage

Some storm impacts don't show symptoms for months—until a leak appears. Early aerial documentation captures evidence while it's still visible.

What Storm Damage Looks Like

Understanding the visible signs of hail and wind damage that adjusters look for

🌨️ Hail Damage Indicators
Severity LevelVisible Indicators
MinorGranule loss creating dark spots, soft bruising visible on close inspection, minor impact craters
ModerateCracked shingle edges, exposed fiberglass matting, circular impact patterns across multiple slopes
SeverePenetration holes through shingles, fractured decking, widespread damage requiring immediate attention

Hail damage is often invisible from the ground. My drone captures close-range detail that reveals impact patterns before they become leaks.

💨 Wind Damage Indicators
Damage TypeWhat to Look For
Lifted ShinglesBroken adhesive seals, edges visibly raised from the roof deck, flapping visible in moderate wind
Missing ShinglesBare spots exposing underlayment or decking, scattered shingle tabs in the yard or on the ground below
Loose FlashingSeparated chimney, vent, and skylight flashing; visible gaps at sidewall transitions
Debris ImpactBranch strikes, wind-driven projectiles, displaced equipment on commercial rooftops

Wind damage tends to worsen over time as lifted shingles catch more wind. Early documentation is essential.
