Drone Roof Inspections

Drone roof inspections give a clear look at roof condition from above, without anyone needing to walk the surface. For steep slopes, fragile materials, or roofs still under storm-related stress, aerial footage is often the safest way to get a full picture before any repair plan is made.

What Drone Footage Shows

  • Surface Condition — overall wear, granule loss, or visible damage across the full roof plane.
  • Flashing and Edges — valleys, chimneys, and roof edges where water intrusion often starts.
  • Storm Impact — missing shingles, debris, or structural shifts after high winds or hail.

Working Alongside Other Inspection Tools

Aerial footage pairs well with other on-site inspection methods. Infrared roof moisture scanning and digital moisture meters help pinpoint hidden moisture and leak sources once drone footage highlights an area of concern, giving a more complete read on roof condition before repair work begins.

When to Consider a Drone Inspection

  • After a Storm — checking for wind or hail damage without unnecessary foot traffic.
  • Routine Maintenance — reviewing general condition on a regular schedule.
  • Before Repair or Replacement — getting a full view of the roof before planning work.
