FAQs
What exactly is a drone roof inspection and how is it different from a traditional inspection?
A drone roof inspection uses a small, unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images of every part of your roof. Unlike a traditional inspection that requires a person to climb ladders and walk the roof surface, the drone can cover hard-to-reach and steep areas in minutes, eliminating safety risks and reducing inspection time. The images are then analyzed by our certified roofing specialists, giving you a precise assessment without anyone ever stepping on your shingles.
Is the drone inspection really free, or are there hidden costs?
Yes, the inspection is 100 % free for homeowners and commercial property owners within the Niota service area. There is no obligation to purchase repairs or a new roof afterward. You will receive a digital report, photo documentation, and our professional recommendations at no charge. If repairs are needed, we will provide a written estimate, but you are free to choose whether or not to proceed.
Are drone inspections safe for my roof and property?
Absolutely. Because no one has to walk your roof, there is zero risk of accidental shingle damage or dislodged flashing during the inspection. The drone we use is lightweight, operates under FAA Part 107 guidelines, and is piloted by a licensed, insured operator. We maintain a safe distance from people, pets, landscaping, and neighboring structures while capturing imagery.
How accurate are the results, and will I receive a detailed report?
Our drones capture 4K imagery and thermal data (when requested), allowing us to spot missing shingles, hail bruising, lifted seams, ponding water, and even hidden moisture. The files are processed through industry-leading software that produces centimeter-level measurements. Within 24 hours you will receive a PDF report containing annotated photos, a condition summary, and a recommended maintenance or repair plan.
Do I need to be home during the drone roof inspection?
It’s not necessary, but we recommend you be available at the start or end of the visit so we can review any specific concerns and ensure gate or pet access if needed. The flight itself typically takes 15–30 minutes. If you cannot be present, we will call beforehand to confirm details and email the full report afterward.
What happens if the drone inspection finds damage?
If damage is detected, our roofing expert will explain the findings, show you the annotated images, and outline all repair or replacement options. For storm-related issues, we can assist with the insurance claim process, including providing documentation and meeting the adjuster on-site. Should you hire us for the work, the cost of materials, scheduling, and workmanship warranty will be discussed upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Either way, the inspection itself remains free.
