FAQs
How much does a drone roof inspection in Riceville cost?
All residential drone inspections we perform in the Riceville area are 100 % complimentary. There are no hidden travel fees, report charges, or obligations to purchase repairs. You will receive the flight, high-resolution images, and a written condition report entirely free of charge.
What makes a drone inspection better than a traditional on-roof inspection?
Our FAA Part 107-certified pilots capture 4K imagery from multiple angles that simply can’t be reached safely on foot. The drone allows us to document every shingle, flashing, valley, and penetration without walking on fragile roofing materials. You get a faster inspection, zero risk of roof damage, and a detailed visual record you can keep for insurance or warranty claims.
Is the drone flight safe for my property and my neighbors?
Yes. We use lightweight commercial drones equipped with obstacle-avoidance sensors. Flights are limited to under 400 ft AGL and follow all FAA regulations for Riceville’s Class G airspace. Prior to take-off, we establish a clear launch zone and notify anyone nearby. The entire flight is usually under 15 minutes, and the drone never makes physical contact with your roof.
What do I need to do to prepare for the inspection?
Very little. Please make sure your driveway is clear so we have a safe place to launch and land. If you have pets, keep them indoors for a few minutes while we fly. We handle all flight planning, data capture, and post-processing. You do not have to be home, but we recommend being present so we can review the images with you right after the flight.
How quickly will I receive my inspection report and photos?
In most cases, you’ll get a preliminary verbal summary on-site as soon as the drone lands. The full digital report, including annotated photos and our repair or maintenance recommendations, is emailed to you within 24 hours. For real-estate transactions requiring same-day paperwork, let us know and we’ll expedite the report at no cost.
What if the drone finds damage—are repairs required through your company?
Absolutely not. The inspection is obligation-free. If we identify storm damage, aging shingles, or ventilation issues, we’ll explain the findings and provide an estimate upon request, but you’re welcome to seek additional quotes or file an insurance claim independently. Our mission is to give Riceville homeowners objective information so they can make the best decision for their roof.
