🔍 Detailed Breakdown

1. Full Aerial Roof Scan


We fly a drone over every section of your roof to get comprehensive top-down and angled views. We review the footage for missing tiles, damaged shingles, poor drainage zones, and vulnerable transitions.

2. Close-Up Images of Problem Areas


Zoom lenses and adjustable flight paths let us capture details around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and vents—without disturbing anything. This is especially useful for brittle tile or aging flat roofs.

3. Damage Detection Without Walking the Roof


Many tile roofs are fragile or historic; walking on them risks further damage. Drone scans eliminate this, allowing us to assess the condition, identify issues, and provide proof without setting foot on the surface.

4. Annotated Digital Report


Every drone inspection comes with a photo-labeled report showing what’s good, what’s borderline, and what needs attention. This report is ideal for agents, buyers, sellers, and insurance companies.

5. Optional Attic Inspection Add-On


For a comprehensive view of roof performance, we can pair the drone scan with an attic inspection to identify moisture intrusion and ventilation issues.

*Some areas are designated as no-fly zones due to air traffic control laws near airports or military operations, which prohibit anyone with a drone from operating in these areas.
