What you get

Clear photos of the whole roof, plus a simple report you can share.

We fly the roof and photograph it from above and from close-up angles: overviews of every slope first, then tighter frames on the areas worth a second look. You get the photos, and a short visual report that makes sense to anyone you send it to.

Overview photos from above

Straight-down and angled views of the whole roof: every slope, valley, ridge, and edge in sharp detail. The full picture first, so nothing gets missed.

You receive: high-resolution roof & exterior overviews · shared client folder

Close-ups of areas of interest

Tight frames of the spots a roofer looks at first: shingles, flashing, valleys, vents and stacks, chimneys, skylights, and gutters. If something stands out during the flight, we photograph it up close.

A simple roof photo report

The best frames, organized into a short visual report: overviews first, then the close-ups, each one noted so you can tell where it sits on the roof. Plain enough to read in five minutes, and easy to pass along.

You receive: visual roof photo report · folder of selected images · dated record

Before and after sets

When scoped, we photograph the roof before work starts and again after it's done, the same way both times. Two dated sets, so you have a clear record of what changed.

Everything lands in a shared client folder, yours to pass along to whoever needs it.

No ladder, no lift

Close detail, photographed from a safe distance.

The drone carries a 7× optical / 16× hybrid zoom, so it keeps well back and still pulls in sharp detail on roof edges, flashing, and upper walls: the spots you'd otherwise need a lift, or a risky climb, to see at all.

ZOOM

A close look without getting close.

The zoom reaches in on flashing, ridge caps, fascia, soffits, and wall detail, including upper storeys, parapets, and tight corners.

RANGE

Held at a safe distance

The drone stays well clear of steep slopes, tall walls, and tight sites, and still fills the frame. Clear photos, no contact with the roof.

Who it's for

For anyone who needs to see a roof before deciding what to do about it.

Look before you call someone out. Document the roof after a storm. Keep a dated record before and after repairs. The report is yours to share with a roofer, contractor, property manager, landlord, or insurance contact.

HOMEOWNERS

Homeowners & landlords

Get a clear look before calling a roofer out, after a storm, or before you buy or sell. Send the report to a roofer or contractor and decide your next step from real photos, not guesses.

ROOFERS

Roofers & contractors

Quote from the photos before you roll a truck. Every slope, valley, and flashing detail is on file, with a dated record of the roof as we found it.

REALTORS

Realtors

Show a listing's roof up front, or get a look before an offer goes in. Clean photos everyone in the deal can actually see, so nobody is guessing about the roof.

MANAGERS

Property managers & strata

Several buildings in one visit, each captured the same way. A dated photo record for your files, your owners, and your insurance contact when one is needed, without sending anyone up.

Straight talk on what this is

What this is, and what it's not.

You get honest, high-resolution photos of your roof, from above and up close, organized into a report anyone can read. This is visual roof documentation, not a certified roofing inspection.

Reading the roof and deciding what it needs stays with your qualified roofer or contractor. Our job is to get you both a clear look without anyone climbing. We don't claim to find leaks or hidden problems, and we don't tell you what the roof needs.

How it runs

Quick, quiet, and nobody goes on the roof.

A roof photo report is one of the quickest things we do: a short scoping call, a flight usually under an hour, then your report and photo folder, processed in-house and sent to you. One-time capture, or before and after a repair when that's what you need.

Questions & answers

Roof photo reports, answered.

Is this a roofing inspection?

No. A roof photo report is visual roof documentation, not a certified roofing inspection. It gives you and your roofer a clear look at the roof. Reading it and deciding what it needs stays with the qualified roofer or contractor.

Do you walk the roof?

No, we fly it. The whole capture is done from the air, so no one sets foot on the roof and the shingles take no wear. You still get a close look at every slope, valley, and flashing detail.

How fast can I get one?

You'll hear back within one business day, and we'll find a flight time that works for your property. I process the photos in-house, so nothing waits in an outside queue.

Can I use it after a storm, or for a claim?

Yes, you can share it. The report is a dated visual record of the roof on the day we flew it, and people often send it to a roofer, a property manager, or an insurance contact. We document what the roof looked like; what happens with a claim is between you and your insurer.

Part of the bigger picture

Your roof is one of the things a single flight can capture.

The same drone that photographs your roof can capture the rest of the property too, from a home and its grounds to a whole commercial site.
