FAQs
Why should I choose drone imagery for my roof inspection in Grandview?
Drone technology lets us capture high-resolution aerial photos and 4K video of every inch of your roof—ridge caps, valleys, flashing, vents, and gutters—without anyone stepping on the shingles. This keeps you, our technicians, and your roof safe while delivering more complete data than a traditional ground or ladder inspection. In Grandview’s variable Mid-Missouri weather, speed is critical; drones finish the survey in minutes, allowing us to spot wind, hail, and thermal damage before it spreads.
Is a drone roof inspection legal and safe in Grandview?
Yes. Our pilots are fully licensed under the FAA’s Part 107 Small UAS Rule, carry $1 million in liability insurance, and follow all air-space restrictions around Grandview as well as city noise ordinances. We maintain a 360-degree safety perimeter, use geofencing to avoid restricted zones, and program automated return-to-home protocols. Because no ladders or foot traffic are required, there is virtually zero risk of roof damage or worker injury.
What kinds of roofing problems can your drones detect?
Our drones are equipped with 20-megapixel RGB cameras and optional radiometric thermal sensors. They can identify missing or broken shingles, hail bruising, lifted seams, flashing gaps, standing water on flat roofs, soft spots, moss growth, and heat-loss areas that indicate insulation failure or hidden leaks. The combination of visible and thermal imagery lets us pinpoint moisture intrusion that isn’t yet visible to the naked eye.
How long does the inspection take and will I need to be home?
A typical single-family roof in Grandview takes 15–25 minutes of flight time and about an hour of on-site data verification. You don’t have to be home, but we do need access to the property and permission to fly over it. If you can’t be there, simply sign our digital flight waiver in advance and we’ll handle the rest, then email your full report within 24 hours.
What will I receive after the drone inspection?
You’ll get a password-protected link to a digital inspection package that includes: • Orthomosaic top-down map of your roof with 1–2 cm per-pixel resolution • Annotated high-res photos of each defect or area of concern • Thermal hotspot map (if purchased) • PDF condition report with repair recommendations and cost estimates • Downloadable files accepted by major insurance carriers for hail or storm claims
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Grandview and do you work with insurance?
For most homes up to 3,500 sq ft, our standard visual drone inspection is $225. Add thermal imaging for $95. Larger or complex roofs are quoted individually. If your roof sustained storm damage, many insurers reimburse the inspection fee when you submit our report. We can bill you directly, or coordinate with your adjuster to bundle the cost into the overall claim settlement.
