Drone Roof Inspection
Complete roof coverage — even when it can't be safely walked.
Not all roofs can be accessed safely — whether due to height restrictions, steep pitch, or fragile covering materials like tile or slate. We use our complement of drones to ensure you get a complete picture of the state of the roof covering materials and all roof components, without compromising safety or thoroughness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why use a drone for a roof inspection?
- Not all roofs can be safely walked — steep pitches, fragile tile or slate coverings, and significant height all create safety risks. A drone provides a safer, more thorough inspection with high-resolution imagery that captures details a walking inspection might miss.
- What types of roofs require a drone inspection?
- Roofs with steep pitches (typically over 6:12), tile, slate, or metal standing-seam coverings, multi-story homes, and roofs with significant height above grade are all candidates for drone inspection. We assess each roof individually and use the safest and most thorough method available.
- What roof problems can a drone detect?
- Drones capture high-resolution imagery that reveals missing, cracked, or damaged shingles; deteriorated flashings; clogged or damaged gutters; ridge cap issues; chimney and skylight conditions; and signs of previous repairs or storm damage.
- Is drone footage included in my inspection report?
- Yes — drone photos and video are included in your Spectora digital inspection report, giving you a clear visual record of the roof's condition.
