Why use drones for roof inspections?
Going up the home of your own roof may sound like such a simple thing that using a drone doesn’t seem necessary, but things are different when doing a roof inspection is part of your job. Depending on what line of work you’re in, you might have to do dozens of roof inspections in a single day. Not only do you put human life at risk whenever you inspect a roof the old-fashioned way, but it’s also very time-consuming.
What are 5 Key reasons that roof inspections are a must:
- To assess the value of real estate –Real estate agents have to look at the conditions of a property before they can estimate a fair selling price. This includes the interiors, the surrounding neighborhood, and yes – the roof.
- To estimate roof repair costs - For professional roof repair services, having to physically climb up a roof is not a problem. However, the risk and effort might not be worth it if they are still in the phase of negotiating prices with the clients.
- To confirm insurance claims - When a natural disaster happens, like a tornado or a typhoon, the roof of a home takes the brunt of the punishment. For this reason, homeowners will typically make insurance claims on the roof damage.
- To prepare for solar panel installation – Companies that offer solar panel installation services need to do a detailed roof inspection before they step in so that they’ll know what tools and equipment to prepare.
- As part of home maintenance - Even in the absence of a natural disaster, regular homeowners would still benefit from doing regular roof inspections. There’s no telling how regular wear and tear can slowly cause your roof to deteriorate if you don’t inspect it regularly.
Why would you consider using drones instead of doing it the traditional way?
- Safer - The number one reason to use a drone is that it no longer makes it necessary to put human lives in peril to do a roof inspection. Surveys have shown that a huge majority of injuries and deaths suffered in the roof inspection industry happens because of falls (no surprise there). By using drones instead, roof inspectors can reduce the risk to human life to virtually zero.
- More efficient - If you were an insurance adjuster who had to visit ten homes in a single day and inspect each roof manually, then you might not even enough time. Aside from the time and effort spent to climb a roof, you will have to make lots of manual measurements and snap several photos – all with the tentativeness of someone walking in a high-altitude, possibly damaged, roof. According to roof inspection companies, using a drone allows them to finish jobs three times faster than if they did them using traditional methods. This capability also lets them offer more premium services because they can commit to shorter turnover times and more detailed roof inspections reports.
- Can inspect inaccessible areas - Another disadvantage of walking around on top of a roof while taking measurements is that there are simply areas that cannot be accessed by people. Whether it’s an overhanging feature or a small, recessed section, drones are more equipped to get up close and personal with these inaccessible areas. If you’ve been having your roof inspected the old-fashioned way for years, then these areas might have been neglected for the longest time.
- Less equipment and manpower needed - A professional roof inspection crew will come with a van full of ladders, cameras, ropes, harnesses, and measuring tapes to do a detailed inspection job. A drone-based roof inspector will arrive on-site with just the drone – nothing else. Doing a roof inspection using a drone is logistically simpler. In turn, it is also faster and cheaper. Even an ultra-portable drone that fits in a small backpack can do a roof inspection job according to professional standards.
- Can create 3D models - The level of sophistication of modern drone technology is also one of the advantages of using a drone for roof inspection. Camera drones aren’t just for capturing high-definition photographs of the condition of your roof, but the aerial photos can also be combined to create a 3D model. This is done through a method called photogrammetry – a technique of 3D modelling that uses multiple photos of a single object. The benefit of being able to create a 3D model from a roof is that you can virtually revisit the site anytime. You can also take length, area, and volume measurements from the 3D model. With a 3D model, there’s no detail on the inspection job that you can miss, as you can simply review the model anytime.
- Automated process and cloud-based data - Drone-based aerial surveys are done via specially designed mobile apps that can automate almost the entire process. This leaves no room for human error and ensures that the drone captures shots from all the essential angles. Moreover, all the shots can be automatically synced to a cloud server where they can be processed quickly to create 3D models or downloaded to a remote workstation. This is a great way to streamline post-processing so you can deliver results faster.

I needed to create a content piece that could capture the spirit of what my team and I provided as value for our clients. Dynamic Picture Studios, came into the picture with a level of precision, I didn't know I needed. Kamen had me prepared with what to expect, and even more importantly he was able to pull out information from me that helped tell the story. Where I thought I had a handle of what we were going to talk about, he brought new insight and thoughts that resulted in us getting out key information, and customer-focused content that would support two things; 1. Our company's brand position. 2. Give clarity and passion to what we do. When it comes to masterfully creating video content that can convert and persuade, hands down I recommend Dynamic Picture studios. Kamen and his team are mind-blowingly good, and have become a must-have resource for us.

"Dynamic Picture Studios truly captured exactly what I was looking to convey to my audience. I hadn't known all of the awesome technology that could be used in creating the perfect video. Kamen thought about every single detail of the process and was sure to explain things along the way. I received such positive feedback from the promo video. It's a wonderful feeling when you are able to find a company that is professional, forward-thinking, and aware of your needs." - Olivia

This was my first time to try animation and use an explainer video to boost my business. I have had such an amazing response from this type of advertising. Working with the owner, Kamen, was an easy process. He guided me and helped me put together the best video possible for my studio. I highly recommend his services.

I was looking for a photographer to take photos of a home for an upcoming real estate listing. Due to the homeowner’s schedule, the home was only available on Sunday. Kamen was super flexible with his schedule and also assisted with physical staging of furniture so he could capture the best photos of the property. His post-production work was great (virtual staging) and he delivered the photos in a timely fashion. I will definitely be using Dynamic Picture Studios for my next property!
