Aerial Roof Imaging & AI-Assisted Review
Systematic high-resolution aerial imaging of every roof element — every plane, ridge, valley, flashing, penetration, gutter, and downspout — with AI-assisted analysis and Jon's personal verification.
Aerial (Drone) Roof Imaging
Jon uses a FAA Part 107 licensed drone to systematically photograph the entire roof surface — including areas that cannot be safely walked or accessed by ladder. Every image is reviewed by Jon personally, with AI-assisted screening used to flag potential areas of concern for closer examination.
Why Drone Roof Imaging?
Steep pitches, fragile roofing materials, and multi-story homes often make walking a roof unsafe or impractical. A drone provides complete, systematic coverage of the entire roof surface — not just the areas an inspector can safely reach on foot.
How It Works
Systematic flight
Jon flies a planned grid pattern over the roof, capturing overlapping high-resolution images of the entire surface — ridge to eave, every slope.
AI-assisted review
The image set is processed through an AI screening tool that flags areas showing potential anomalies — missing shingles, granule loss, flashing gaps, and similar conditions.
Jon's verification
Jon reviews every flagged item personally. AI screening identifies candidates; Jon determines what is and isn't a reportable condition. Nothing is reported without his direct review.
Documented report
Findings are documented in a written report with aerial photographs. The report includes the full image set so you have a complete visual record of the roof's condition at the time of inspection.
FAA Remote Pilot Certificate — Aerial Roof Imaging & AI-Assisted Review
Jon holds an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, which is required by federal law to operate a drone commercially.
Scope & Limitations
Drone roof imaging documents visible surface conditions from the air. It does not substitute for hands-on inspection of accessible roof areas, attic inspection, or evaluation of concealed conditions. Wind, precipitation, and local airspace restrictions may affect scheduling.
Schedule a Drone Roof Inspection
Drone roof imaging is most valuable when combined with a standard home inspection, which includes attic access, interior ceiling evaluation, and hands-on inspection of accessible roof areas. Jon can schedule both services together.
