FAQs
What is included in your free drone roof & siding inspection in Gatlinburg?
Our complimentary service uses a high-resolution drone to capture 4K imagery of your entire roof system, siding panels, gutters, flashing, chimneys, and eaves. We analyze the footage for missing shingles, hail or wind damage, loose or warped siding, moisture intrusion, and ventilation issues. You receive a detailed digital report with annotated photos and our professional recommendations—all at no cost or obligation to you.
How accurate is a drone inspection compared to traditional methods?
Drone technology provides a 360° view and zoom-level detail that is difficult to achieve from the ground or even by climbing a ladder. Thermal imaging options detect hidden moisture behind shingles or siding. Studies show drones can identify up to 95% of storm-related roof defects, often outperforming manual visual inspections while eliminating human error and safety risks.
Do I need to be home during the drone inspection?
No. As long as we have exterior access and your permission, our FAA-certified pilot can perform the flight while you’re away. We text when we arrive and leave, and the full inspection report, photos, and video clips are delivered electronically. If you prefer to be present, we’re happy to schedule a time that’s convenient for you and walk you through the findings on-site.
Is drone inspection safe and compliant with FAA regulations in Gatlinburg?
Absolutely. Our pilots hold Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates and follow all FAA rules, including airspace authorizations for Gatlinburg’s proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We maintain $2 million in liability insurance, keep flight logs, and use geofencing software to avoid restricted areas. Our drones are equipped with obstacle-avoidance sensors to protect your property and our crew.
How long does the inspection take and when will I receive the report?
A typical residential roof and siding scan takes 20–30 minutes. Larger or steep-slope roofs may require up to an hour. You’ll receive your comprehensive report, HD images, and optional thermal scans within 24 hours, often the same day. For real-estate transactions, we can expedite delivery in as little as 4 hours at no extra charge.
What happens if the drone inspection identifies damage?
If we find issues, we’ll outline repair or replacement options and provide a transparent cost estimate. Because the inspection is free, you’re under no obligation to hire us. If you choose to proceed, our roofing and siding teams are local to Gatlinburg and can start most projects within a week. We also assist with insurance claims by supplying photographic evidence and meeting adjusters on-site to streamline the approval process.
