Aerial roofing assessments are performed to determine the estimated functional lifetime of the roof and to also inspect if any repairs are needed. The inspection begins with the drone flying over the roof in a pattern designed to provide full coverage of the entire roof. Photographs of each building number, an overall shot of the roof, and a detailed view of the key areas will be captured. These still photographs will be included in the inspection report to assist in the repairs and as backup for the functional life determination of the roof system.
