Why Drone Roof Inspections Are Changing the Game for Homeowners
When it comes to taking care of your home—especially the roof—getting a clear, comprehensive view can make all the difference. That’s where a service like Tetti Roofing’s drone roof inspections option comes in. With this modern approach, you get high-resolution imaging, safer processes, and better documentation—so you’re more informed and confident in your decisions.
What Are Drone Roof Inspections?
A drone roof inspection uses a drone equipped with a camera (and sometimes more advanced sensors) to fly above and around your roof and capture detailed images and video. Instead of relying solely on ladders or physically walking every inch of the roof, the drone gives a bird’s-eye view, catching angles and details that are hard to access otherwise. This service from Tetti Roofing helps homeowners assess condition, catch damage early, and create a photo/video record of what’s going on.
Why They’re Better Than Traditional Inspections
- Safety first: Climbing ladders or walking steep roofs carries risk. Drones minimize that by doing the preliminary survey from the air.
- Better visibility: Drones can capture odd angles, roof features, and hard-to-see spots—making it easier to spot problems like missing shingles, damaged flashing, or water pooling.
- Faster turnaround: Because drones can move in and out quickly and capture large areas in one go, the overall inspection process is faster.
- Documentation you can use: With high-resolution images/video, you have a visual record—useful for maintenance planning, claims, or simply knowing exactly what you’re dealing with.
How It Works With Tetti Roofing
When you schedule a drone roof inspection with Tetti Roofing:
- They dispatch a qualified technician to your home with the drone equipment.
- The drone flies over and around your roof, capturing detailed imagery of the surface, slopes, ridges, flashings and other aspects.
- They review the imagery, identify any issues or areas of concern, and compile a report for you.
- You receive the visuals and insights—what’s good, what needs attention, and recommended next steps.
This process gives you transparency and helps you plan intelligently. Whether you’re prepping for repair, replacement, or simply routine maintenance, you’re better equipped.
When Should You Consider One?
- After a storm or high-wind event: if branches fell, shingles flew, or you suspect damage.
- If your roof is older and you’re trying to track condition before full replacement.
- Before buying or selling a home: having recent roof data builds trust and clarity.
- When you want a comprehensive inspection but don’t want the risk or disruption of traditional methods.
Tips to Get the Most from a Drone Roof Inspection
- Ask to view the imagery yourself—make sure you understand what has been captured.
- Use the footage and report to compare bids from contractors—this keeps things fair and transparent.
- Store the report with your property records: a clear “before” view helps if you ever need proof later.
- Schedule inspections proactively (every few years) rather than reacting only when visible issues appear.
