Professional Drone Roof Imaging for Every Situation
We fly, we photograph, and we deliver. No climbing. No bias. No upselling repairs. Every flight by an FAA Part 107-certified pilot. Every property gets a private gallery. Every image within 24 hours.
Storm Damage Documentation
When hail or high winds hit Austin, the clock starts. Water intrusion begins within hours. Insurance claim deadlines are ticking. And every roofer in the metro is booked for weeks. You need to see your roof now — not in three weeks when someone can finally climb up there.
Within 48 hours of signup, we fly your property and capture high-resolution aerial photos and video of every section of your roof: ridgeline, valleys, north face, south face, gutters, flashing, penetrations, skylights, chimney surrounds. The full picture, from above.
You receive a private gallery link you can open on any device. Forward it to your insurance agent, your roofer, or your contractor. No login required. No app to download.
Why It Matters
Speed
Damage documented within days of the storm — not weeks. Your claim starts moving while your neighbors are still on hold.
Complete Coverage
Aerial imaging captures the entire roof surface in a single flight. No blind spots from ladder-level angles. No sections missed because they were too steep to reach.
No Bias
We don't sell repairs. We don't recommend contractors. The photos show what's there. You and your professionals decide what to do about it.
Safety
Nobody climbs a damaged, wet, or unstable roof. The drone goes up. People stay on the ground.

After a Major Storm Event
When a significant hail event hits an Austin neighborhood, we activate batch routing. We collect signups from the affected area, optimize a drive route, and fly 8-12 properties in a single day. This is how we keep the price at $79 when demand spikes — and why we never surge-price after storms.
If a storm hits your area, sign up immediately. The earlier you're in the queue, the sooner we fly.
Proactive Roof Imaging
You don't need a storm to need eyes on your roof. Buying a home, selling a home, scheduling maintenance, or just curious about what 10 years of Texas weather has done up there — a clear aerial record answers the question without anyone climbing a ladder.
Pre-Purchase Inspection Support
Your home inspector works from the ground or a ladder. A full aerial flyover captures the entire roof surface — especially on steep, multi-story, or complex rooflines where ladder access is limited. Share the gallery with your inspector for the overhead view they couldn't get.
Pre-Listing Documentation
A clean roof gallery tells buyers "this seller is transparent." If your roof is in good condition, aerial documentation proves it. If there are issues, better to know before a buyer's inspector finds them.
Annual Baseline
Texas weather is relentless. An annual aerial record tracks how your roof ages over time. When damage occurs, you have a dated "before" image — the single strongest piece of evidence in any insurance claim.
Post-Repair Verification
Just had a roof replaced or repaired? An aerial flyover documents the completed work from above. Verify the contractor covered what they said. Keep the gallery for your warranty file.
Same pricing as storm documentation. Same service, same quality. The only difference is the reason you called us.
Insurance Claim Support
An insurance claim is a documentation game. The homeowner with clear, comprehensive, professionally captured evidence gets faster processing, fewer disputes, and better outcomes.
We don't file claims. We don't negotiate with adjusters. We don't recommend contractors or provide repair estimates. What we do is give you the strongest possible visual evidence of your roof's condition — which makes everything else in the claims process easier.
How Drone Documentation Strengthens Your Claim
Adjuster-Ready Format
Images organized by roof section — north face, south face, ridgeline, valleys, penetrations, gutters — so the adjuster sees exactly what they need without sorting through phone photos.
Comprehensive Coverage
Ground-level photos miss the majority of roof damage. Hail impact patterns, lifted shingles, cracked flashing, and membrane tears are often invisible from below. Aerial imaging captures the full surface.
Timestamped Evidence
Every image is timestamped and geotagged. This establishes when the documentation was captured relative to the storm — critical for claims where the insurer questions pre-existing damage.
Shareable Instantly
Your gallery is a link. Text it to your insurance agent at 7 AM. Email it to your adjuster. Forward it to your roofer. One link, works on any device.

What We Do NOT Do
- We do not file insurance claims on your behalf
- We do not provide damage assessments or repair estimates
- We do not recommend roofing contractors
- We do not negotiate with insurance adjusters
- We do not sign assignment-of-benefits agreements
We are a documentation service. Our images are unbiased — taken by a party with no financial interest in the outcome of your claim. That objectivity is an asset when an adjuster is evaluating your evidence.
No separate "insurance claim" surcharge. If you have an active claim and need images fast, Expedited gets you a scheduled time slot.
Property Management & Commercial
Managing a portfolio means managing roofs you can't see. Apartment complexes, HOA common areas, commercial buildings, office parks — dozens of rooftops, each one a liability and an insurance asset.

Private gallery per building
Organized, labeled, shareable — every flight, every building gets its own documentation.
Monthly comparison views
Side-by-side galleries showing changes over time for contract clients.
Storm re-fly priority
Contract clients jump the queue when hail hits. Flat pricing, storm or no storm.
Zero premises liability
No on-roof activity means zero risk of inspection falls. The drone goes up.
