Why are the best roofers keeping their feet on the ground (at first)? It might seem counterintuitive. For decades, the only way to check a roof for damage involved a tall ladder and a brave technician. But technology has given us a better way. Drone roof inspections are changing the game by offering a safer, more detailed and accurate assessment of your roof’s condition.
Safety First Always
The most obvious benefit of using a drone is safety. Climbing onto a roof always carries a risk of slips and falls, no matter how experienced the technician is. Weather conditions like wind or moisture can make a sloped surface incredibly dangerous. By using a drone for the initial inspection, we eliminate that risk. Our technicians can get a complete view of your roof while standing safely on solid ground.
There is another safety factor to consider: your roof’s safety. Older shingles can become brittle over time. Walking on them can cause cracks or breaks, leading to more damage than was originally there. A drone inspection is completely non-invasive. The device hovers above your home, capturing high-resolution images without ever making physical contact. This means we can inspect even the most delicate or aged roofs without causing further harm.
A Superior Point of View
Have you ever tried to see the very top of your own roof? It is nearly impossible from the ground. Even from a ladder, certain angles and areas remain hidden. Drones provide a comprehensive bird’s-eye view that a human inspector simply cannot match. They can capture detailed images of every single shingle, every flashing and every valley.
This complete overview allows us to spot subtle issues that might be missed during a traditional inspection. We can identify patterns of granule loss, hail damage or cracked seals that are not visible from below. The high-resolution cameras on our drones can zoom in on potential problem areas, giving us a clear picture of the damage. This level of detail ensures that our repair estimates are precise and that no hidden problems are left to fester.
Faster and More Efficient
A traditional roof inspection takes time to set up and conduct safely. A drone inspection, on the other hand, can be completed much more quickly. We can launch the drone, capture all the necessary footage and have a complete picture of your roof’s health in a fraction of the time.
This efficiency means you get the answers you need faster. We can review the images with you often on the same day, showing you exactly what we see. This transparent process helps you understand the condition of your roof and make informed decisions about necessary repairs or replacement. It’s a modern solution that saves time and provides peace of mind.
