Roof & Building Inspection
High-resolution aerial imagery provides detailed visual access to roofs, façades, exterior systems, and elevated building components while creating a permanent record that can be reviewed long after the field inspection is complete.
Inspection Without Unnecessary Elevated Access
Roof and building inspections often involve areas that are difficult to view safely or efficiently from the ground. Aerial capture allows the entire structure to be documented from multiple angles while also providing detailed imagery of individual components and areas of concern.
The result is more than a few overview photographs. High-resolution inspection imagery creates a visual record that can be reviewed by property owners, contractors, facility teams, adjusters, and other specialists.

What Aerial Inspection Can Document
Overall context and detailed close-up imagery can be captured during the same inspection.
Roofing Systems
Document roofing materials, membrane conditions, shingles, seams, drainage areas, flashing, penetrations, parapets, edges, and visible surface conditions.
Building Exteriors
Capture façades, exterior walls, cladding, windows, rooflines, transitions, elevated components, and areas that may be difficult to inspect from ground level.
Damage & Maintenance
Create visual documentation after storm events, during maintenance planning, before repairs, or as part of recurring property condition records.
Inspection Workflow
Define the Scope
Identify the structure, areas of concern, known conditions, and documentation requirements.
Document the Structure
Capture overall views and high-resolution detail imagery from appropriate angles and distances.
Identify Visible Conditions
Review the imagery and organize areas requiring client attention or further evaluation.
Create the Record
Provide organized imagery and documentation that can be retained, shared, and referenced later.
Inspection Deliverables
The final deliverable can be tailored to the purpose of the inspection rather than forcing every project into the same report.
High-Resolution Imagery
Detailed visual documentation of the overall structure and specific roof or building components.
Annotated Findings
Selected imagery can identify areas of interest or visible conditions requiring additional review.
Historical Documentation
Repeat inspections can provide dated records for repairs, maintenance, property management, and condition comparison.
Need More Than Visual Inspection?
Commercial roof and building inspections can also be paired with radiometric thermal imaging when temperature patterns may help identify areas requiring additional investigation.
