FAQs
What is a digital roof inspection and how does it differ from a traditional inspection?
A digital roof inspection combines on-site workmanship—with inspectors walking the roof where it’s safe—with high-resolution drone imagery and moisture-mapping technology. All photographs, notes, and measurements are compiled into a cloud-based report that you can review from any device. Unlike a traditional paper report, you receive zoomable photos, annotated diagrams, and video clips that make it easy to see exactly what our inspector saw, share it with insurance adjusters, or keep it on file for future reference.
What will I receive in the digital roof report?
Within 24 hours of the inspection you’ll get a secure link to a PDF/HTML report that includes: • A written summary of the roof’s overall condition and life-expectancy. • High-resolution aerial and close-up photos tagged with defect locations. • CAD-accurate measurements of slopes, ridges, valleys, flashings, and penetrations. • Moisture-scan results (if required) highlighting any trapped water under the membrane or shingles. • Maintenance and repair recommendations ranked by urgency and cost range. • A downloadable photo folder—handy for insurance claims or real-estate listings.
How much does a roof inspection in Birchwood cost and am I obligated to buy repairs?
For single-family homes in Birchwood our digital inspection starts at $249; larger estates, commercial buildings, or roofs over 6,000 sq ft are quoted individually. The inspection fee covers the site visit, drone flight permit, data processing, and your finished report—there is no obligation to authorize repairs through us. If you do decide to move forward with our roofing crew, we credit 100 percent of the inspection fee toward the repair work.
How long does the inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes on site. Commercial flat roofs can take up to half a day depending on size. Because drones gather most of the imagery from above, our team rarely needs access to your attic or interior spaces—so you can stay inside, continue working, or even be away from the property while we work. We notify you before powering any equipment and follow FAA guidelines to keep noise and disruption to a minimum.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Birchwood’s climate?
Birchwood experiences freeze–thaw cycles, lake-effect snow, and high summer UV levels—all of which age roofing materials faster than in milder regions. We recommend: • Twice-a-year inspections for asphalt-shingle or cedar roofs—once in spring after snow melt and once in fall before winter. • Annual inspections for metal or PVC commercial roofs. • Immediate inspections after severe hail, windstorms over 50 mph, or if you notice interior leaks. Regular digital reports create a documented maintenance history that can extend manufacturer warranties and support insurance claims.
Can the digital report help with insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Absolutely. Because the report is date-stamped, geotagged, and includes unbiased photographic evidence, insurers often accept it as third-party documentation of storm damage. For home sellers in Birchwood, attaching our report to your disclosure packet reassures buyers, speeds up closings, and can even increase offers. If you’re buying, you can order a pre-purchase inspection to verify the roof’s condition and budget for any upcoming repairs.
