Aerial Roof & Property Inspection
Comprehensive aerial roof inspections, storm damage documentation, and property condition assessments. Safer, faster, and more thorough than manual methods — delivering the detailed evidence adjusters and underwriters need.
Roof and property inspections are one of the highest-impact applications of commercial drone technology. A single flight can capture every square inch of a roof surface in high resolution without anyone climbing a ladder. The result is a complete, documented inspection that is safer for personnel, faster to complete, and more thorough than traditional methods.
Our 100-megapixel camera system resolves individual shingles, flashing seams, and fastener heads from a safe operating altitude. The telephoto cameras at 70mm and 168mm allow us to zoom into specific damage areas — hail impacts, lifted shingles, cracked tiles, flashing separation — and produce close-up documentation that meets the evidentiary standards insurance carriers expect.
Whether you are a homeowner filing a wind damage claim, a roofing contractor documenting conditions before and after a job, an insurance adjuster assessing a loss, or a property manager maintaining a portfolio of buildings, drone inspection eliminates guesswork and puts detailed visual evidence in your hands within 24 hours.
Every engagement is tailored to your objectives. Here is what you can expect.
Every section of the roof is captured in overlapping high-resolution imagery. We generate a stitched orthomosaic of the entire roof surface that can be annotated, measured, and shared as a single, detailed document.
Our telephoto cameras detect and document granule loss, bruising, cracking, and punctures caused by hail, wind, and debris impact. Images are GPS-tagged so every damage point can be located precisely on the roof plane.
While our standard cameras capture visible-spectrum imagery, the high resolution reveals surface anomalies consistent with trapped moisture — staining, discoloration, sagging, and material degradation — that indicate areas needing further investigation.
For roofing contractors, we provide pre-job and post-job aerial documentation that protects both you and your client. A permanent visual record of conditions before work begins and the quality of the finished installation.
Property managers and commercial owners with multiple buildings benefit from standardized drone inspections across their entire portfolio. We establish a recurring schedule and maintain a visual history for each property.
Every inspection includes an organized report with annotated imagery, damage location maps, measurements, and findings. Reports are formatted for easy submission to insurance carriers and can be customized to match your documentation requirements.
From consultation to final delivery, every project follows a proven workflow.
We gather information about the property, the nature of the inspection (insurance claim, maintenance, pre-purchase, post-storm), and any specific areas of concern. We verify airspace clearance and plan the flight.
Our certified pilot captures the entire roof and property perimeter using systematic passes at multiple altitudes. Wide shots establish context while telephoto passes document specific damage and wear. Most single-structure inspections take 20 to 40 minutes.
Every image is reviewed and damage points are identified, categorized, and annotated. We generate an orthomosaic roof map showing the precise location of each finding. Measurements are extracted for affected areas.
The completed inspection report is delivered within 24 to 48 hours. The package includes the annotated roof map, all supporting imagery at full resolution, a written summary of findings, and measurement data. Rush delivery is available for urgent claims.
