FAQs
What is included in your complimentary drone inspection for roofs and siding in Riceville?
Our free inspection covers a full 360° aerial survey of your roof, siding, gutters, and flashing using a 4K-resolution drone camera. We capture high-definition photos and video, annotate any visible damage or wear, and provide a detailed digital report that includes recommended next steps and an estimate for repairs or replacement, if needed. There are no hidden fees or obligations attached to the inspection.
How does a drone inspection provide better results than a traditional ladder inspection?
Drones eliminate the need for human foot traffic on your roof, reducing the risk of further damage and increasing safety. The drone’s stabilized camera can zoom in on hard-to-reach valleys, dormers, and steep pitches, capturing imagery that is often inaccessible by ladder. This high-resolution data allows us to detect micro-cracks, missing shingles, hail impacts, and siding warping with significantly greater accuracy, ensuring that no issue is overlooked.
Is drone roofing and siding inspection safe and compliant with regulations?
Yes. All flights are performed by FAA Part 107–licensed drone pilots who follow strict safety protocols and Riceville municipal guidelines. The drone never makes physical contact with your roof or siding, so there is zero risk of surface damage. We maintain a safe perimeter, post temporary safety cones when needed, and carry full liability insurance for added peace of mind.
How long does the inspection take, and when will I get the results?
The on-site flight time is usually 20–30 minutes for an average single-family home, though larger or multi-faceted roofs may take up to 45 minutes. We process the imagery the same day and email you a shareable link to your interactive report—complete with annotated photos, video clips, and budgetary repair options—within 24 hours of the inspection.
Do I need to be home during the drone inspection?
It’s not required. If you grant us permission in advance and ensure that gates or access points are unlocked, our pilot can complete the inspection while you’re away. However, many homeowners prefer to be present so they can watch a live preview of the flight on the pilot’s tablet and ask questions in real time. Either way, you will receive the full report afterward.
What areas around Riceville do you service, and what happens after the inspection if issues are found?
We serve Riceville and the surrounding communities within a 35-mile radius, including McDonald, Calhoun, Athens, and Etowah. If the inspection reveals storm damage or normal wear, we’ll outline repair or replacement options, help document evidence for insurance claims, and schedule a follow-up appointment—still at no obligation. Should you choose us for the work, the inspection images provide a head start on precise material planning and project timelines.
