After wind, hail, or monsoon storms, speed and documentation matter. We provide high-resolution aerial roof inspections that capture:
Missing, broken, or lifted tiles and shingles
Impact damage and punctures
Flashing, ridge, and edge damage
Debris and drainage issues
Perfect for:
Insurance claims
Restoration estimates
Pre- and post-repair documentation
For homes and multi-family properties, drone inspections provide:
Full-coverage roof documentation
Close-up imagery of problem areas
Safe inspections on steep or fragile roofs
Before-and-after repair records
This is ideal for tile, shingle, metal, and flat residential roofs.
Large roofs are where drones shine. We inspect:
Retail and office buildings
Factories and industrial facilities
Schools, hospitals, and campuses
You get complete coverage without disrupting operations or putting inspectors on lifts.
Some roof problems can’t be seen. Thermal inspections help identify:
Trapped moisture in flat roofs
Insulation voids
Heat loss areas
Subsurface leaks and saturation
We provide aligned thermal and visible imagery so teams can target repairs precisely.
Routine roof inspections catch problems before they become expensive failures.
Perfect for:
Annual or bi-annual roof checkups
Property portfolios
Facility maintenance planning
Capital expense forecasting
We provide consistent, repeatable documentation that builds a historical record of roof condition

Drones open up new opportunities and generate efficiencies in industries such as mining, oil & gas and other large industrial facilities. They have emerged as incredibly powerful, versatile industrial tools capable of completing a wide range of applications.
Many times roofers aren’t able to access the roof because of unsafe conditions. If they are able to access the roof, they can’t capture a quality image from their cell phone. If you don’t have a quality image, you can’t communicate the need accurately to your customer. High resolution aerial drone photos communicate even the smallest details.
By letting us flying our commercial drone around your property, you can provide future customers a better look at what their investment is for, along with all of the exterior features it provides. Nothing is as stunning as aerial photos and videos.
