What a report shows

Why use a drone instead of a ladder

  • Nobody on the roof. Steep, wet, tall or fragile roofs are documented without the fall risk or the liability.
  • Faster. Most homes take minutes in the air, and the report usually goes out the same day.
  • Better record. Close-ups of every slope, valley, penetration and ridge, plus a full overhead, in one file you can send to a client, an adjuster or an insurance claim.

A roof report is a photographic record of visible condition. It doesn't include measurements, areas, pitch or diagrams, and it isn't a home inspection. For hidden water in a flat roof, see infrared roof moisture surveys.

Common questions

How much does a drone roof inspection cost in Rochester?
A standard annotated roof report is $95, covering every slope and ridge. Priority storm-response documentation is $150.
Does anyone have to get on the roof?
No. The aircraft photographs every slope and ridge from above.
What format is the report?
An annotated PDF with an overhead orientation photo and labelled close-ups of each area, ready to send to a client, adjuster or insurer.
Does the report include roof measurements?
No. It's a photographic condition record. It doesn't include measurements, square footage, pitch or diagrams.
Can a drone find a roof leak?
A visual report shows visible damage and wear. Water trapped under a flat or low-slope roof isn't visible; that needs an infrared roof moisture survey.
