FAQs
What are high-resolution image roof inspections and how do they benefit my roof assessment?
High-resolution image roof inspections use professional-grade cameras—often mounted on drones—to capture ultra-clear photos of every section of your roof. The extreme detail (up to 0.7 cm per pixel) allows our certified inspectors to zoom in on small defects such as popped nails, cracked shingles, or early membrane blistering that are hard to see from the ground. This level of clarity leads to more accurate diagnoses, faster quoting, and precise repair planning while eliminating the guesswork that can come with traditional visual inspections.
How does Reliance capture high-resolution images of my roof?
We deploy FAA-licensed drone pilots equipped with 4K/48-MP cameras and AI-assisted stabilization. The drone flies a pre-programmed grid pattern, taking overlapping photos that are later stitched into an orthomosaic map and 3-D model. For steep or obstructed areas, our technicians supplement the drone data with telescopic pole cameras. All images are stored securely in the cloud, where our roofing specialists perform a frame-by-frame analysis before compiling your report.
Are drone-based roof inspections safe and legal?
Yes. Reliance operates under Part 107 of the FAA’s Small UAS Rule and carries $2 million in aviation liability insurance. Prior to flight, we submit airspace authorizations and perform a site safety checklist that covers weather conditions, obstacle clearance, and bystander exclusion zones. Because drones remove the need for ladders or rooftop foot traffic, they actually reduce risk for both property owners and inspectors.
What roofing issues can high-resolution imagery detect that traditional inspections might miss?
Ultra-sharp imagery can reveal micro-fractures in shingles, pinhole rust in metal panels, early granule loss, hairline splits in modified bitumen seams, and subtle depressions that indicate underlying insulation wetness. Thermal overlays can also be applied to spot trapped moisture and energy leaks. These early-stage problems are often invisible to the naked eye but, when caught promptly, can save thousands in future repairs.
How long does a high-resolution image inspection take, and when will I receive the report?
For an average 3,000 sq ft roof, flight time is 15–25 minutes and on-site data capture rarely exceeds one hour. Image processing and expert analysis take 24 hours or less. You will receive a secure web link to a PDF report, interactive photo gallery, and 3-D roof model the next business day. Emergency assessments can be expedited and delivered the same day at no extra charge.
Will high-resolution images be accepted by insurance companies for claims?
Absolutely. Our image sets include geo-tagged metadata, time stamps, and measurement overlays that meet or exceed the documentation standards of major insurers. We provide a claim-ready photo package along with annotated damage markers, making it easy for adjusters to verify storm impact or warranty defects. Many carriers now prefer drone imagery because it speeds up claim processing and reduces the need for repeat site visits.
