Drone Roof Inspection

What This Service Involves

Drone inspections capture detailed overhead and angled imagery without a technician setting foot on delicate or dangerously steep surfaces. That matters for the moss-slicked, high-pitch, and cushioned cedar roofs common across the Puget Sound region, where foot traffic itself can cause damage. We fly a methodical grid, zooming into valleys, ridges, and chimney flashing that are invisible from the ground. The result is a complete visual record delivered without ladders scarring gutters or boots crushing brittle shingles.

Benefits

Inspect steep or fragile roofs without foot-traffic damage; reach areas ladders can't safely access; capture high-resolution imagery of valleys and ridges; complete the survey faster than a manual climb

Our Process

1) We confirm airspace and site conditions are safe to fly; 2) we fly a systematic grid over the entire roof; 3) we zoom into flashing, valleys, and penetrations for detail; 4) we review the imagery and compile an annotated findings report

What Affects the Cost

Roof size and the flight time required; site airspace restrictions or nearby obstacles; image resolution and whether stills plus video are requested; complexity of features needing close-up capture; weather conditions suitable for safe flight

Best Time of Year

Best flown on the calm, dry days between fronts, since wind and heavy rain ground the drone.
