FAQs
Why should I choose drone technology for my roof inspection in Oliver Springs?
Drones allow our certified pilots to capture high-resolution images and thermal data of every square foot of your roof without ever stepping on it. This means no risk of shingle damage, faster turnaround times (often same-day reports), and the ability to spot hidden leaks, storm damage, or ventilation issues that can be missed from the ground.
Is drone roof inspection legal and safe in Tennessee?
Yes. We operate under FAA Part 107 regulations and carry full liability insurance. All flights are pre-planned to avoid no-fly zones and to respect neighbors’ privacy. Our pilots conduct a pre-flight safety checklist and keep visual line-of-sight at all times, ensuring compliance with both federal rules and Oliver Springs municipal ordinances.
What types of roofs can be inspected with your drones?
Our fleet can inspect asphalt shingle, metal, tile, slate, flat commercial membranes, and even steep or multi-story roofs. Drones excel on difficult or fragile surfaces where ladders or foot traffic could cause additional damage or present safety hazards.
How accurate are drone inspection findings compared to traditional methods?
Our drones capture 4K imagery and infrared scans that are geotagged within inches of accuracy. Paired with AI-enabled analysis and manual review by a licensed roofing professional, the inspection results are typically more detailed than a visual walk-through and can be used to create precise repair or insurance documentation.
What should I expect on the day of the inspection?
A two-person team arrives at the scheduled time, performs a brief site assessment, and sets up a safe takeoff zone. The flight itself usually lasts 20–30 minutes for an average 2,000-sq-ft home. You don’t need to be on the roof or even at home, but we recommend being available to discuss any immediate findings. A full digital report with annotated photos and recommendations is delivered within 24 hours.
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Oliver Springs, and will my insurance accept the report?
Residential inspections start at $199, while larger or commercial roofs are quoted per square foot. Most insurance carriers accept our reports because they include time-stamped imagery, thermal data, and a certified pilot’s signature. If you’re filing a claim, we can forward the documentation directly to your adjuster to speed up the process.
