Las Vegas roofs live a hard life — 160°F membrane temperatures, UV that chews through coatings, monsoon microbursts, and hail you only hear about after the claim. A drone documents all of it in high resolution without a ladder or a walk. We flew a full commercial roof documentation in Henderson in July 2026.

Desert Drones provides FAA Part 107–certified drone roof inspections across the Las Vegas valley — high-resolution condition documentation for commercial flat roofs and residential tile and shingle, storm and insurance-claim records, pre-purchase and pre-listing inspections, and radiometric thermal moisture surveys. In July 2026 we documented the full roof and HVAC deck of a Henderson commercial property ahead of redevelopment — the dated baseline record every roof decision should start from.
Every penetration, every seam, every unit on the deck — in resolution a ladder inspection can't match, with none of the liability.
Documentation that works in a claim file, a transaction, or a maintenance plan.
Real roofs, not stock — including a full Henderson commercial roof and site documentation in July 2026.
Our July 2026 Henderson project — the full roof deck, HVAC units, and parapet condition of a commercial property documented ahead of redevelopment. The baseline every owner should have.

Evening thermal scans map wet insulation precisely — the finding that turns a tear-off quote into a section repair.

Tile, shingle, and foam — pre-purchase, post-storm, and warranty documentation for valley homes, flown without a single boot on the roof.
RESIDENTIALThe Henderson documentation above was flown by our licensed pilots under LAANC authorization in Henderson Executive's airspace. Commercial deck or family home — the record is dated, high-resolution, and yours.
From call to claim-ready documentation in days.
Commercial deck, tile residential, or a post-storm check — we scope coverage, resolution, and whether a thermal pass makes sense.
Full-deck coverage at close range, every penetration and seam, with LAANC pulled for the valley's controlled airspace.
Findings annotated and organized by roof section — condition, wear, and anything that needs a contractor.
Imagery and report by shared link — ready for the insurer, the buyer, or the maintenance file.
The Mojave is brutal on roofs in ways an inspection here has to understand.
Membranes and coatings age fast at 160°F deck temperatures. High-resolution imagery catches coating failure and seam wear early, when the fix is cheap.
July and August storms drop wind, dust, and sudden water on the valley. A dated post-storm flight is the record your claim needs.
Concrete tile dominates valley neighborhoods — and it cracks and slips silently. A drone reads every course without breaking a single tile underfoot.
Harry Reid Class B, North Las Vegas, Henderson Executive, Nellis — we pull LAANC before every flight.
A roof finding ends up in front of an insurer, a buyer, or a board — it has to come from a licensed, insured, documented operation.
Roof clients often add these — same pilots, often the same flight.
For documentation it's better — full coverage, high resolution, dated, and nobody on your roof. When a finding needs hands-on follow-up, your roofer walks straight to it.
Yes — dated, high-resolution imagery after monsoon wind or hail, organized for the claim file. It's one of the most common flights we do.
Thermal moisture surveys map wet insulation on commercial roofs — flown in the evening when trapped moisture holds the day's heat. That's usually where the leak lives.
That's the point — concrete tile cracks underfoot. The drone reads every course at close range with zero contact.
Usually within days — and post-storm windows are exactly when dated documentation matters most.
FAA Part 107 certified and insured with $2M liability coverage, with a certificate of insurance available for commercial clients.
