We Fly Roofs. That's It.

Hover ATX exists for one reason: to get Austin homeowners clear, professional photos of their roof — fast. No inspections. No estimates. No sales pitch. Just documentation you can trust.

Why Hover ATX Exists

After every hailstorm in Central Texas, the same thing happens. Thousands of homeowners stare at their ceiling wondering if their roof is damaged. They call a roofer — booked for three weeks. They call their insurance company — the adjuster is six weeks out. They sit in limbo, stressed, unable to see what's happening ten feet above their head.

Meanwhile, when a roofer finally shows up, they climb a potentially unstable roof with a phone camera and take photos that may or may not convince an adjuster to approve the claim.

We built Hover ATX to eliminate that wait.

Within days of a storm, we fly your property and deliver professional aerial photos of your roof. You see exactly what happened. You share the images with your insurance company, your roofer, your contractor — whoever you need. No climbing. No waiting. No guessing.

Documentation, Not Diagnosis

This distinction matters. It's the foundation of how we operate.

What We Are

A professional aerial imaging service. We fly your roof with a commercial-grade drone, capture high-resolution photos and video from every angle, and deliver them to you within 24 hours of the flight. You get a private gallery with a shareable link — text it to your insurance agent, email it to your roofer, save it for your records.

What We're Not

We are not inspectors. We are not roofers. We are not insurance adjusters. We don't diagnose damage, write estimates, or recommend contractors. We have zero incentive to exaggerate or minimize what's on your roof. The images speak for themselves, and you and your professionals decide what to do with them.

Safety and Credentials

Every flight we conduct meets the same standards commercial operators are held to nationwide.

FAA Part 107 Certified

Our pilot holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate — the federal license required for all commercial drone operations in the United States. This covers airspace regulations, weather minimums, flight restrictions, and emergency procedures.

Fully Insured

We carry commercial drone liability insurance for every flight. Your property, your neighbors, and the public are protected. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request for commercial clients and property managers.

Weather-Aware Operations

We check real-time weather, wind speed, and precipitation before every flight. If conditions are unsafe, we reschedule — no exceptions. Wind gusts above 25 mph, active precipitation, or low visibility means we wait. Your images aren't worth a safety compromise.

Airspace Compliant

Before every flight, we verify the airspace classification at your address. In controlled airspace (near airports), we obtain LAANC authorization through the FAA's automated system. No shortcuts. No unauthorized flights.

Built for Speed and Scale

We don't schedule one-off appointments and drive across town for a single roof. Hover ATX runs on a batch routing system designed to serve more homeowners, faster.

When signups come in, we group addresses by geography and build optimized drive routes. Expedited appointments get fixed time slots; standard jobs fill in around them. This means we can image 8-12 properties in a single route day — and you get your photos faster because we're already in your neighborhood.

The result: lower prices for you, faster turnaround for everyone, and a scalable operation that can respond to a 500-home hailstorm, not just a single call.

We serve Travis County, Williamson County, and surrounding communities in the greater Austin metro.

The Team

Hover ATX is a lean, focused operation. One mission. No distractions.

Thomas Kubik — Founder & Pilot

FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot based in Austin. Thomas built Hover ATX after watching the same post-storm chaos play out year after year — homeowners waiting weeks for answers that a 15-minute drone flight could deliver in a day. He handles every flight, every route, and every delivery.

Growing the Team

As Hover ATX scales, we'll bring on additional licensed pilots to expand route capacity during peak storm season. If you're a Part 107 pilot in the Austin area interested in flying with us, check out our Fly With Us page.
