Aerial Roof Inspection
Get a complete, detailed roof inspection without putting a single person on your roof — faster, safer, and at a fraction of the cost of a traditional inspection.
No One on the Roof. No Exceptions.
Traditional roof inspections put workers at serious risk of falls, damage your shingles, and take hours to complete. Aerial drone inspection eliminates every one of those problems — delivering a more thorough result in less time, at lower cost, with zero risk to people or your roof.
Zero Safety Risk
No ladders. No harnesses. No workers on the roof at any height. The drone goes up — people stay safely on the ground. Eliminate fall risk, liability exposure, and workers' compensation concerns completely.
No Shingle Damage
Every person who walks on a roof causes micro-fractures, granule loss, and accelerated wear on shingles — especially on older or heat-softened roofs. Drone inspection is fully contactless. Your roof is never touched.
Lower Cost
No scaffolding. No safety equipment rentals. No multi-person crews. Aerial inspection dramatically reduces the time and resources required — passing those savings directly on to you.
Faster Completion
A drone can survey an entire roof in minutes, capturing hundreds of high-resolution images from angles and vantage points a human inspector could never safely reach. What used to take hours takes a fraction of the time.
More Thorough Coverage
Aerial cameras capture every square inch of a roof — including ridgelines, valleys, flashings, gutters, and chimney bases — from multiple angles simultaneously, missing nothing a ground-level view would overlook.
Documented Evidence
Every inspection produces a complete set of high-resolution, GPS-tagged photographs and a professional report — ideal for insurance claims, contractor estimates, warranty documentation, and legal records.
The Hidden Dangers of Traditional Roof Inspection
Most people don't think twice about calling a roofer up to inspect their roof. But every time someone climbs up there, a serious chain of risks is set in motion — risks to the worker, risks to your property, and risks to you as the property owner.
Shingles are not designed to be walked on repeatedly. Each footstep grinds granules loose, compresses the mat, and creates micro-cracks that accelerate wear and reduce the lifespan of your roof — sometimes by years. On hot days, asphalt shingles soften and are especially vulnerable to foot traffic damage.
Steve's 20 years in law enforcement and 17 years in emergency medicine gave him a deep appreciation for how quickly situations on rooftops can turn dangerous — and why eliminating that risk entirely is always the right call. That's why Fly With Me drone inspections keep everyone safely on the ground, every single time.
With the DJI Matrice M30T, Steve captures imagery at resolutions far beyond what the human eye can see from a safe standing position — meaning the aerial inspection is not just safer, it's actually better.
⚠️ Risks of Traditional Roof Inspection
Faster. Safer. Less Expensive.
The numbers tell the story clearly. Aerial drone roof inspection isn't just a safer alternative — it delivers measurably better results across every metric that matters to property owners, insurance adjusters, contractors, and real estate professionals.
One flight. Complete coverage. The M30T's 48MP zoom camera and wide-angle lens capture every surface of a roof in a single pass, producing a comprehensive photographic record that no manual inspection can match for completeness or speed.
Whether you need an inspection for insurance documentation, pre-sale due diligence, storm damage assessment, or solar panel installation planning, aerial inspection delivers the full picture — safely, quickly, and affordably.

Common Issues We Identify
The M30T's high-resolution cameras catch damage and wear that traditional inspectors — and even the homeowner — often miss entirely until it becomes a costly emergency.
Missing or Lifted Shingles
Wind damage, improper installation, and age cause shingles to lift or disappear — leaving the underlayment exposed to water infiltration.
Flashing Failures
Failed or corroded flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys is the most common source of roof leaks.
Ponding & Drainage Issues
Areas where water pools and cannot drain properly — leading to accelerated deterioration, leaks, and structural damage over time.
Granule Loss & Bare Spots
Granule loss from shingles is an early warning sign of aging — visible from above before it becomes a leak or replacement emergency.
Moss, Algae & Debris
Organic growth and debris accumulation trap moisture, accelerate shingle decay, and block gutters and drainage channels.
Moisture & Heat Loss
Thermal imaging detects moisture infiltration and insulation gaps invisible to standard cameras — before they cause interior damage.
