Why big roofs go unchecked
On a commercial building, an apartment block or a care facility, walking the roof means access equipment, someone working at height, and a real safety conversation. So it tends not to happen until water is already inside a unit.
A drone removes all of that. No ladders against the building, nobody on the roof, and the whole surface photographed in one visit.
Who this is for
- Property managers with more roofs than hours
- Apartment owners and investors budgeting or buying
- Nursing homes and care facilities that cannot have leaks
- Owners of any building where nobody has been on the roof in years
What you get, and what it is worth
Photographs of the whole roof surface, a clear note on what needs attention now versus what can wait, and a price only where work is needed. The part people find most useful is being told which roofs need nothing, because that is what lets a budget go where it actually matters.
Do you have to close anything down?
No. The flight happens outside and takes about ten minutes for most buildings. Nobody goes on the roof.
Can you cover several buildings in one visit?
Usually yes, if they are on the same site or close together.
Can we get something we can show an owner or a board?
That is the point of it. You get photographs and a plain written note, not a verbal opinion.
Year-end maintenance budgets
A lot of commercial owners and managers find money left in the maintenance budget in November and December. If that is you, book the drone inspection early. You get the photos, a written note and a price for the maintenance the roof needs, in time to approve it before the year closes.
