Desert Drones is a Part 107–certified, fully insured commercial drone company based in Arizona, delivering safe, detailed roof inspections for property managers, contractors, and insurers nationwide — through our own Arizona team and a vetted network of professional Part 107 pilots across the country.
A drone inspects an entire roof — every penetration, seam, flashing, and drain — without anyone climbing a ladder or stepping onto a fragile or steep surface. That eliminates fall risk and liability while producing far more documentation than a walk-through: high-resolution imagery of the whole roof and, with thermal, a map of trapped moisture hidden beneath the membrane.
Desert Drones performs commercial and residential roof inspections for property managers, roofing contractors, facility teams, and insurers. Whether you need a single condition survey, a thermal moisture scan before a re-roof decision, or standardized inspections across a property portfolio, you get clear, organized findings you can hand straight to an owner, bidder, or adjuster.
Roof data drives real decisions on repairs, warranties, and claims. Here is what separates a professional inspection.
Drone inspection captures the entire roof from the air — no ladders, no fall risk, no walking a fragile or steep surface, and no liability for personnel on the roof.
Radiometric thermal scans reveal trapped moisture and membrane defects invisible to the naked eye, pinpointing problem areas before they spread.
High-resolution imagery of every penetration, seam, and flashing — organized into a clear report you can hand to a contractor, owner, or adjuster.
Inspection imagery, thermal findings, and reports delivered within 48 hours so decisions and bids don’t wait.
