FAQs
Why should I choose a drone inspection for my roof in Copperhill before scheduling a replacement?
A drone inspection lets our certified pilots capture high-resolution photos, 4K video, and thermal imagery of every section of your roof without walking on it. This eliminates safety risks, prevents further shingle damage, and gives us a complete, zoom-ready record of your roof’s condition. Because we can quickly spot hail bruising, wind uplift, flashing gaps, and moisture pockets, you receive a more accurate replacement estimate and a faster project start date.
How accurate are drone findings compared to a traditional on-roof inspection?
Modern drones use 20- to 48-megapixel cameras, LiDAR, and AI-powered measurement software that calculate roof dimensions within ±1/4 inch and detect defects as small as 1 mm. The data is instantly mapped into a detailed 3-D model. While a manual inspection relies on what a technician can safely see, the drone captures 100 % of the surface—including steep slopes and hard-to-reach valleys—so the final assessment is often more complete and objective.
What types of problems can your Copperhill drone inspection uncover?
Our drones identify missing, cracked, or curling shingles; granular loss; hail impact spots; lifted or rusted flashing; loose ridge caps; sagging decking; ponding water; clogged valleys; chimney and skylight leaks; and hidden moisture under the shingles (via infrared). Spotting these issues early helps determine whether a full roof replacement or a targeted repair is the most cost-effective solution.
Is drone roof inspection legal and safe in Copperhill?
Yes. We operate under FAA Part 107 regulations, and every flight is performed by a licensed, insured remote pilot. Prior to inspection we file any required airspace authorizations, maintain visual line-of-sight, and follow Copperhill’s local noise and privacy ordinances. Safety cones and spotters keep ground areas clear, and our aircraft feature obstacle-avoidance sensors and propeller guards to prevent incidents.
How long does the inspection take and when will I get my roof replacement quote?
The aerial data capture itself typically takes 15–30 minutes for an average 2,500 sq ft home. We process the imagery the same day, generate a measurement report, and review repair or replacement options with you within 24 hours. If a full replacement is needed, we can schedule material delivery and start work in as little as 7–10 business days, subject to weather and permit approvals in Copperhill.
Will my insurance company accept drone inspection photos and reports for a roof replacement claim?
In most cases, yes. Major carriers operating in Tennessee and Georgia routinely accept our stamped drone inspection reports because they include date-stamped HD images, thermal overlays, and precise CAD measurements. We format the documentation to meet Xactimate standards and will even meet your adjuster on-site to review the findings, helping to streamline claim approval and maximize your coverage benefits.
