Drone roof inspection photos in Billings
Close, high-resolution photos of the whole roof, taken from 20 to 60 feet up without a ladder, a lift or anyone walking a steep pitch.
What the photos show
The drone flies 20 to 60 feet above the roof and takes close, high-resolution photos of the shingles, ridges, valleys, flashing, chimneys, gutters and siding. Hail damage, lifted or missing shingles, cracked boots and clogged gutters can all be photographed up close, and you get a complete record of the roof without anyone climbing a ladder or walking a steep pitch.
Who uses them
- Roofers quoting a replacement or documenting finished work
- Insurance adjusters and homeowners documenting hail and wind damage
- Property managers checking several buildings in one trip
After hail or wind
Photos taken before any repair starts give the roofer, the adjuster and the owner the same record to work from. Send the address as soon as you can. We check the airspace and the forecast first, because we don't fly in rain or snow, and strong, gusty wind keeps the drone on the ground.
Several roofs in one trip
For property managers, adjusters and owners, the same flight documents the condition of roofs, siding and grounds across a property. Roofers, adjusters and property managers who have several roofs to check can group them into one trip, which brings the cost per roof down.
What you get

What it costs
A drone roof inspection is billed at our standard rate, $95 for an hour on site with a one-hour minimum. How pricing works.
What the photos are not
The photos document the condition of the roof. They are not an engineering report or an insurance assessment, so a roofer or adjuster still makes the call on what the pictures show.
Before the flight
Much of Billings sits inside the Class C airspace around Billings Logan International Airport. Where a flight needs FAA authorization, we request it before the shoot, so give us a few days' notice when you can. How airspace works in Billings.
Roof inspections are often easiest in flat midday light, when there are fewer shadows on the roof.
