Roof & Structural Inspection

Comprehensive aerial inspection reports with high-resolution annotated imagery, condition assessments, and damage documentation — formatted for insurance claims, engineering review, and maintenance planning.

What It Is
Eyes on Every Surface — Without Setting Foot on the Roof

Traditional roof inspections require ladders, scaffolding, and inspectors walking surfaces that may already be compromised. SkyGator's aerial inspection service eliminates that risk entirely — capturing every inch of your roof and facade at close range using the DJI Matrice 4E's high-resolution camera system.

The result is a complete, annotated inspection report with georeferenced imagery, condition ratings, and prioritized repair recommendations — delivered within 48 hours of the flight.

Our reports are formatted to meet the documentation requirements of major insurance carriers and engineering firms, making them immediately usable for claims processing and professional review.

🛡️
Zero Access Risk
Aerial inspection eliminates the safety liability of personnel on compromised rooftops — particularly important following storm events when structural integrity is unknown.
📋
Insurance-Ready Reports
Reports include georeferenced damage imagery, condition mapping, and annotated findings — structured to support insurance claims and adjuster review.
📸
Close-Range High-Res Imagery
The Matrice 4E captures inspection-grade imagery at close range — resolving individual fasteners, membrane seams, flashing details, and granule loss at the shingle level.

Common Applications
Who Uses This Service
Post-Storm Insurance Claims
Rapid deployment following hurricane, hail, or wind events. Georeferenced damage documentation supports adjuster review and accelerates claim processing.
Pre-Purchase Due Diligence
Assess roof condition before commercial real estate acquisition. Identify deferred maintenance and capital expenditure requirements before closing.
Preventive Maintenance Planning
Annual or bi-annual inspections establish a baseline and track deterioration over time — helping facility managers plan roof replacements before failure.
Warranty Claim Documentation
Georeferenced imagery and condition reports provide the documentation needed to support roofing warranty claims against contractors or manufacturers.
Multi-Property Portfolio Inspection
Efficient aerial inspection across multiple properties in a single mobilization. Consistent report format across your entire portfolio for easy comparison.
New Construction Punch List
Final aerial inspection before project close-out documents roofing installation quality and identifies deficiencies before the contractor demobilizes.

Schedule Your Aerial Inspection

Inspections can typically be scheduled within 3–5 business days. Emergency post-storm deployment available. All pricing is custom based on structure size and report requirements.
