FAQs
How does drone technology improve storm-damage roof inspections in Mountain City?
Our FAA-certified drone pilots fly high-resolution, GPS-guided drones over your roof to capture 4K images and thermal data. The aerial perspective lets us see 100 % of the surface—including steep slopes and hard-to-reach valleys—without stepping on the shingles. This means faster inspections (typically 20–30 minutes), zero risk of additional foot-traffic damage, and highly accurate measurements that feed directly into our estimating software.
Is a drone inspection safe for my property and the people around it?
Yes. We operate under FAA Part 107 regulations, maintain $1 million in liability insurance, and follow strict safety protocols. Our drones hover well above roof level, use obstacle-avoidance sensors, and require only a small, secure take-off zone. No ladders are placed against your gutters, and no one needs to climb on the roof, eliminating fall hazards and protecting landscaping.
What kinds of storm damage can your drones detect?
Using optical zoom, high-resolution imaging, and optional infrared (thermal) scanning, our drones spot hail bruising, missing or lifted shingles, granule loss, punctures, flashing displacement, moisture intrusion, and hidden insulation wet spots. The software flags anomalies automatically, and our HAAG-certified inspectors review every image to verify the damage types and severity.
How soon after a storm can you perform a drone inspection in Mountain City?
We monitor local weather alerts and can usually deploy a drone crew within 24 hours of the storm’s passage—often the same day if wind speeds drop below FAA limits (under 30 mph). Early assessment helps prevent water infiltration from turning minor shingle damage into costly structural issues.
Will my insurance company accept a drone-based inspection report?
Nearly all major carriers now recognize drone imagery as valid evidence because it is date-stamped, geotagged, and high resolution. Our reports include annotated photos, a thermal map (if used), a roof CAD diagram, and a narrative from a licensed adjuster. We submit the package in the format your insurer prefers and will meet the adjuster on-site if additional verification is requested.
What happens if the drone assessment shows my roof needs repairs or replacement?
After the inspection, we provide a detailed scope of work and itemized estimate generated from the drone’s measurements. If you decide to proceed, we can schedule repairs immediately—often starting within a week, depending on material availability. We also assist with insurance paperwork, supplement requests, and final documentation to ensure your claim is processed smoothly. Our crews are local to Mountain City, so you’ll have direct communication and rapid follow-up until the job is complete.
