Drone roof inspections in Baltimore
Roof too steep to walk?
I look by drone.
We get on the roof whenever it's safe. When it's too steep, tall, fragile or wet to walk, I use the drone. Text me your address.

When we use a drone
Most of the time we climb the roof and look by hand, because that finds the most. Some roofs are too steep, too tall, or covered in slate you don't want to walk on. On those, a drone gets a close look without putting weight on the roof or setting a long ladder on soft ground.
It also helps after a storm while the roof is still wet, and when a home is changing hands and someone wants pictures of a roof that's hard to get on.
What a drone inspection covers
Missing and damaged shingles
Close-up shots of the surface, ridges, and edges.
Flashing
Chimneys, walls, vents, and skylights from angles a ladder misses.
Flat roofs
Standing water, open seams, and soft-looking patches.
Storm checks
A full pass after high wind or hail so you know what changed.
FAA-licensed, and we do the repair too
I'm an FAA-licensed drone pilot. I fly only over the property we're asked to look at and keep the flight short.
If the pictures show a repair, we can handle that too. Same company, same phone number. See also roof repair in Baltimore.
Drone inspection questions
Do you always use a drone?
No. We get up on the roof whenever it's safe, because a hands-on look finds the most. I use the drone when a roof is too steep, too tall, or too fragile to walk, or still wet after a storm. It also gets clear pictures of spots you can't see from the ground.
Are you licensed to fly the drone?
Yes. I'm an FAA-licensed drone pilot. I fly by the rules and only over property we're invited to look at.
What do I get after a drone inspection?
Pictures and a plain-language summary of what we saw. Soft spots, missing shingles, open flashing, standing water on flat roofs.
Can a drone find every leak?
No. It shows the roof surface clearly, but some leaks still need a hands-on check at the flashing. We'll tell you when that's the case.
Do you only inspect, or do you also repair?
Both. If the inspection shows a repair, we can do that work too. You're not handed off to someone else.
Not sure if your roof can be walked?
Text or call 443-900-4815 with your address. We'll come out, and if the roof can't be walked safely, I'll fly it when the weather is clear.
