Steep roofs, slick roofs, brittle 25-year-old roofs — all of these used to mean an inspector either didn't go up there at all, or risked their life and your gutters trying. A modern drone solves both problems.
We're FAA Part 107 licensed and fly a high-end DJI platform with a 4K visual camera. Every panel of the roof is photographed at close range. Optional thermal pass identifies trapped moisture and ice-dam-prone areas.
What's included
- FAA Part 107 licensed pilot

Common questions about drone roof inspection
Is drone roof inspection worth the cost?
For most Mankato-area buyers, yes. The cost is small relative to what a missed issue could cost after closing.
How long does drone roof inspection take?
Varies by scope — most service-specific add-ons take 20–60 minutes on top of the home inspection. We bundle them into one visit.
Do you bundle drone roof inspection with a home inspection?
Yes — bundling saves $50–$100 vs. booking separately and means one report and one bill.
Where do you offer this service?
Mankato and a 50+ mile radius across Southern Minnesota — see our service area page for a full list of cities.
How fast do I get the report?
Same day for most inspections. Always within 24 hours.
