FAQs
Why should I choose drone inspections for my roof and siding in Sparta?
Drones capture ultra-high-resolution photos and 4K video from every angle, allowing our technicians to spot missing shingles, hail impacts, loose siding panels, moisture intrusion, and other issues that may be invisible from the ground. Because no ladders or scaffolding are required, there is zero risk of damage to your exterior finishes and no safety hazard for workers. Inspections are completed faster, the data is permanently stored for future reference, and you receive an interactive digital report you can zoom in on from any device.
How accurate are drone inspections compared with traditional visual inspections?
Our FAA-certified pilots fly at low altitude using stabilized gimbals and 48-megapixel sensors that can detect defects as small as ⅛-inch. Proprietary AI software then measures slopes, calculates surface areas, and highlights anomalies with millimeter precision. Independent studies show drone surveys identify up to 25 % more problem areas than manual walk-around inspections while virtually eliminating human measurement error.
Is a drone inspection safe for my property and neighborhood?
Yes. We operate under FAA Part 107 regulations, maintain $2 million in liability insurance, and only deploy lightweight quadcopters equipped with obstacle-avoidance sensors. Flight paths are programmed to remain entirely over your parcel, and propeller guards prevent contact with siding, gutters, or vegetation. Noise levels are comparable to a household vacuum and flights typically last less than 15 minutes, so disturbance to neighbors is minimal.
What can I expect on the day of the inspection and how long does it take?
A two-person crew arrives at your scheduled time, completes a brief pre-flight checklist, and performs two or three battery-powered flights. Total air time is about 20 minutes, and our visit rarely exceeds 45 minutes. Within 24 hours you receive a cloud-hosted report that includes annotated photos, condition grades, precise measurements for every roof facet and wall elevation, and maintenance or replacement recommendations.
Can you perform drone inspections during winter or adverse weather in Sparta?
We fly year-round, but safety and data quality are our priorities. Operations are paused when sustained winds exceed 20 mph, temperatures fall below 15 °F, or precipitation is present. If snow covers your roof or siding, we will reschedule so the surfaces are visible. We monitor Sparta’s local forecast constantly and will confirm or adjust your appointment at least 12 hours in advance.
Do I need to be home and how much does a drone inspection cost?
Homeowner presence is optional as long as we have exterior access to the property. Many clients appreciate a brief walkthrough afterward, but we can also discuss findings by phone or video. For single-family residences in Sparta, our standard roof and siding package starts at $249, which includes the on-site flight, high-resolution imagery, measurement report, and a 20-minute virtual consultation. Larger or multi-structure properties are quoted individually before scheduling.
