FAQs

Why do you use high-definition drone imaging for roof replacement inspections in Etowah?

Drones let us capture ultra-high-resolution photos and 4K video of every plane, valley, and penetration on your roof without setting foot on the shingles. This eliminates ladder damage risks, speeds up the inspection, and reveals problems—such as hail bruising, lifted flashing, or missing granules—that are hard to see from the ground. Because the imagery is geo-tagged and time-stamped, it also serves as objective documentation for insurance claims or warranty files.

Is drone roof inspection legal and safe in Etowah?

Yes. We are FAA Part 107–certified remote pilots and carry full liability insurance. We file any required Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) and comply with all Class E airspace requirements around McMinn County. Our drones have obstacle-avoidance sensors and return-to-home capabilities, so flights are safe for people, pets, and property.

What information will I receive after the drone survey?

Within 24–48 hours you’ll get a cloud-based report that includes: (1) high-definition still images keyed to an overhead roof diagram; (2) a 3-D model you can rotate and zoom; (3) exact measurements for ridges, hips, valleys, and penetrations; and (4) a condition grade for each roof facet. We also include a replacement estimate and, if storm damage is present, an insurance-ready summary with annotated photos.

How does Etowah’s weather affect drone scheduling and roof replacement timelines?

For safety and image clarity, we only fly when wind is below 22 mph and there’s no active precipitation. If East Tennessee pop-up storms threaten, we’ll reschedule at no charge—usually within 24 hours. Once the inspection is complete and materials are in stock, typical tear-off and replacement of a 2,000–3,000 sq ft roof takes one to two days, weather permitting.

Does the drone inspection add cost to my roof replacement?

No. We include the drone survey as a complimentary part of every full replacement proposal in Etowah. The efficiency we gain—faster measurements, reduced labor, and fewer return visits—helps keep our overall project pricing competitive. If you only need an inspection report (for a real-estate sale, for example), we offer that service à-la-carte for a modest flat fee.

Can drone imagery help with my insurance claim for storm damage?

Absolutely. High-definition aerial photos provide clear, objective evidence that adjusters can’t always gather from the ground. Our reports highlight impact points, mark shingle bruising, and quantify material loss. Because the files are digitally time-stamped and include GPS coordinates, most insurers accept them without requiring a second site visit, speeding up claim approval and payment.
