Roof Inspections
Using a drone for self-inspection of your Colorado roof offers a safe, fast, and highly accurate way to detect damage from hail, high winds, or aging without climbing a ladder. Drones provide high-resolution, geolocated, and time-stamped images, which are essential for documenting damage for insurance claims in a state prone to severe weather.
Key Benefits of Using a Drone in Colorado:
- Unmatched Safety: Eliminates the need to climb on steep, high, or slippery roofs, preventing fall risks.
- Ideal for Colorado Weather Damage: Drones easily identify common Colorado issues like hail dimples on metal roofing, missing/damaged shingles, and issues with flashing.
- Speed and Efficiency: A full inspection can be completed in as little as 10-15 minutes.
- High-Resolution Documentation: Provides clear, detailed imagery of hard-to-reach areas, including gutters, chimneys, and skylights.
- Cost-Effective: Avoids the need for expensive scaffolding or ladder setups, and can be used to verify damage before hiring a professional.
Using a drone helps you identify issues early, such as leaks or structural damage, which can save money on extensive repairs in the long run

Why a Part 107 is Needed for Roof Inspections:
Non-Recreational Purpose: The FAA defines recreational use strictly as flying "for fun". Using a drone to inspect a roof, gutters, or assess storm damage is considered a "non-recreational" activity.
Inspection vs. Hobby: If the purpose of the flight is to gather data (photos/video of the roof) to determine if maintenance is needed, it falls under professional or commercial-style operation, necessitating a Remote Pilot Certificate.
Legal Risk: Operating without a license for such purposes can technically lead to significant fines
