FAQs
What is included in your free drone roof assessment for homes in Sharps Chapel?
Our complimentary service covers a full aerial scan of your roof using a high-resolution drone camera. We capture detailed photographs and video, map out measurements, and generate a condition report that highlights shingle wear, flashing issues, soft spots, and storm-related damage. You receive a digital copy of the imagery, a written summary of findings, and our professional recommendations—whether that’s simple maintenance, repair, or a complete roof replacement.
How accurate is a drone inspection compared with a traditional on-roof inspection?
Modern roofing drones record imagery at up to 4K resolution and use LiDAR-assisted measurement software that is accurate within 1–2 inches. Because the drone hovers directly above every slope and valley, it often spots granule loss, lifted shingles, and hail strikes that an inspector on a ladder can miss. For structural issues that require tactile testing (e.g., checking decking firmness), we may still climb onto suspect areas, but the drone provides a faster, safer, and highly precise first pass.
Do I need to be home while the drone assessment is performed?
It’s entirely up to you. If you can’t be present, we simply ask for exterior access—gates unlocked and pets secured. Our licensed pilot launches from your driveway or yard, completes the flight in 15-20 minutes, and sends you the digital report the same day. If you prefer to watch the process or ask questions in person, we’re happy to schedule a time when you’ll be home.
Will the drone inspection tell me if I need a complete roof replacement or just repairs?
Yes. The combination of ultra-clear imagery, AI-generated damage mapping, and our technician’s analysis lets us quantify the extent and location of shingle, flashing, and decking problems. If damage or age-related wear exceeds 25-30 % of the roof area, a full replacement is typically more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs. We outline both options, provide estimated life-expectancy, and explain the pros, cons, and costs so you can make an informed decision.
How long does the whole process take, from scheduling to receiving my report?
Booking usually takes one phone call or online form submission. We can be on-site in Sharps Chapel within 24–72 hours, depending on weather. The flight itself lasts under 30 minutes. You’ll receive your digital inspection report, annotated photos, and a follow-up call within 24 hours of the visit—often the same afternoon.
Is the drone assessment truly free, and what are the next steps if problems are found?
Absolutely—there are no hidden fees or obligations. After you review your report, you can: 1) do nothing if your roof is in good shape; 2) request a repair quote; or 3) schedule a full replacement estimate. If you choose replacement, we walk you through material options, financing, and timing. Many Sharps Chapel homeowners also ask us to assist with insurance claims; we can supply the documentation your carrier needs at no additional charge.
