Roofs
Missing or lifted shingles, storm and hail damage, worn areas, and problem spots, on homes and larger buildings.
FOR HOMEOWNERS, CONTRACTORS & PROPERTY MANAGERS
Get a close look at the roof without the ladder.
Roofs, chimneys, and tall structures are hard and risky to check up close. A drone gets there in minutes and nobody has to climb.
We fly the whole structure, capture detailed photos and video, and use thermal imaging to show what the eye can't: trapped moisture, heat loss, and hot spots. You get the images and a written report you can share with your roofer, contractor, or insurance adjuster.
WHAT WE INSPECT
From the house to the silo.
Solar Panels
Cracked or dirty panels, and thermal checks for hot spots that can point to failing cells or wiring problems.
Chimneys, Gutters & Flashing
Close views of chimneys, flashing, vents, and gutters, the places leaks often start and are hardest to see from the ground.
Commercial Buildings
Flat and low-slope roofs, rooftop equipment, walls, and parking areas for offices, retail, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings.
Towers & Tall Structures
Visual checks of cell towers, antennas, and other tall structures without sending a climber up first.
Farm Buildings
Barns, silos, grain bins, and outbuilding roofs, plus an overview of the property around them.
THERMAL IMAGING
Heat shows what the eye can't.
A thermal camera shows temperature differences across a roof or wall. Those differences can point to problems that look fine in a normal photo.
What thermal can help find
- Possible trapped moisture under roofing
- Heat loss through roofs, walls, and windows
- Hot spots on solar panels
- Overheating rooftop equipment and electrical parts
Thermal screening shows where to look. Anything it flags should be confirmed hands-on by your roofer, electrician, or contractor before repairs.

WHAT YOU GET
Clear images and a report you can use.
Every inspection is planned around the structure and what you need to know.
Detailed Photos
High-resolution photos of the whole structure and close-ups of anything worth a second look.
Inspection Video
A video pass over and around the structure, so you can see how everything fits together.
Thermal Images
Thermal views of the areas that matter, alongside normal photos of the same spots.
Written Report
A summary of what we found, with marked-up images showing exactly where, ready to share with your contractor or adjuster.
A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before you book.
Does a drone inspection replace a roofer?
No. It gives you a safe, fast, complete look at the structure and shows where problems may be. Repairs, quotes, and anything that needs to be touched or opened up should still go to a licensed roofer or contractor.
Can I use it for an insurance claim?
You can share the photos, video, and report with your insurance company or adjuster. They decide what the policy covers; we document what we see.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. For exterior inspections we need the address, permission to fly over the property, and any access details. We'll confirm everything before the flight.
When is the best time for a thermal inspection?
It depends on what we're looking for. Roof moisture often shows best in the evening after a sunny day, and heat loss shows best when it's cold outside and warm inside. We'll time the flight to fit the job.
Can you fly anywhere?
Most residential and commercial areas, yes. Some spots near airports or restricted airspace need extra approval or aren't possible. We check every address before we book, and all flights are FAA Part 107 certified operations.
What if the weather is bad?
Rain, high wind, and low clouds can ground a flight. If the forecast turns, we'll move the inspection to the next good window.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of the structure, the type of inspection, and whether you need thermal imaging and a written report. Send the address and what you need, and we'll give you a quote before any work starts.
