Frequently asked questions

Drone roof inspection FAQ

What can an AI-assisted drone roof inspection identify?

The system can help flag visible roof anomalies and potential damage such as cracks, missing or displaced shingles, impact areas, and other conditions visible in the captured imagery. Findings should be reviewed in context by the appropriate roofing, inspection, engineering, or claims professional.

How much does a drone roof inspection cost?

Residential pricing is based on home size: $325 for homes up to 2,500 square feet, $425 for homes from 2,501 to 4,000 square feet, and starting at $525 for homes over 4,000 square feet. These prices include on-site drone capture, the AI-assisted damage report, and the detailed roof measurement report. Commercial, multifamily, multi-structure, and unusually complex properties are quoted individually.

How does this compare with a standard EagleView measurement report?

Standard remotely ordered EagleView measurement reports are useful when roof dimensions are the primary need. Ocean State Drone Company provides an on-site service: an FAA Part 107-certified local drone pilot captures current, high-resolution imagery and delivers both an AI-assisted damage report and a detailed roof measurement report. This provides current, property-specific visual documentation alongside measurements, which is particularly useful after storms, when roof conditions may have changed, or when contractors, inspectors, adjusters, and property managers need imagery tied to the property’s present condition.

Do you provide thermal roof inspections?

No. This service uses standard high-resolution visual imagery and does not include thermal or infrared imaging.

Can the report be used for an insurance claim?

The imagery, annotations, and measurements can support claim documentation and professional review. Coverage decisions, cause determinations, and claim approval remain with the insurer and the qualified professionals handling the claim.

Does the drone report replace a roofer, home inspector, engineer, or adjuster?

No. The service provides aerial imagery, AI-assisted observations, and measurement data. It does not replace a licensed trade professional, engineer, inspector, or claims adjuster when their judgment or certification is required.

What can affect scheduling?

Flights depend on weather, wind, precipitation, visibility, safe property access, and airspace requirements. If conditions are not suitable, the inspection will be rescheduled for the next practical opportunity.
