Michigan weather is hard on roofs. Hail, wind, ice dams, and heavy snow do damage that is often invisible from the ground. Drone roof inspections give roofers, property managers, and homeowners a complete picture of roof condition without anyone climbing a ladder.
Safer than the alternative
Every ladder climb is a safety exposure. A drone captures the entire roof surface, flashing, chimneys, vents, and gutters in one flight, with high-resolution photos you can zoom into. No fall risk, no damaged shingles from foot traffic, no scheduling around weather windows for climbing.
Built for insurance documentation
After a storm, documentation quality decides how smoothly a claim goes. We deliver organized, adjuster-ready photo sets: wide establishing shots plus close detail images of damage areas, all timestamped. For roofers handling storm work in Kalamazoo County, this is documentation your adjusters can actually use.
What a drone roof inspection covers
- Full-roof overhead imagery showing overall condition
- Close detail shots of flashing, penetrations, chimneys, and vents
- Storm damage surveys: hail hits, lifted shingles, debris impact
- Before and after sets for repair and replacement projects
- Gutter and drainage condition
Who uses this
Roofing contractors use drone inspections for estimates and claim support. Property managers use them for portfolio condition checks across multiple buildings. Homeowners use them after storms or before buying. Commercial building owners avoid the cost and liability of putting people on flat roofs.
Pricing
Roof and exterior visual documentation starts at $449, with repeat documentation visits for ongoing projects at $225 per visit. Every job is quoted itemized before booking, and travel within 30 miles of Kalamazoo is included.
