Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close imagery to identify cracked, slipped or broken tiles, displaced ridge caps and deteriorated pointing that can allow wind-driven rain into the roof space.
We focus on valleys, roof-to-wall lines and roof intersections where Vermont leaf litter commonly collects. Blocked flow paths can force water sideways and trigger leaks around junctions.
The drone images flashings at chimneys, vent pipes, skylights and other penetrations. These areas often fail first on older tiled roofs and can be missed from the ground.
We inspect gutter runs and downpipe entry points for sagging sections, overflow stains and debris accumulation. On two-storey homes, gutter overflow can wet walls and eaves before you notice it.
We look for signs of recent storm impacts such as lifted tiles, denting, punctures and displaced sheet edges on mixed-material roofs, helping you document issues for repairs.
We note steep pitches, fragile areas, and tricky access points that affect repair planning. This helps you brief roofers accurately and avoid unnecessary site visits or guesswork.

Yes. In Vermont, mature trees can hide tile defects and quickly block valleys and gutters, especially after windy weather. A drone assessment lets us look directly into valleys, along gutter lines and across shaded roof sections where moss and debris tend to build up. It’s a practical way to identify likely leak points on two-storey homes without walking on tiles.
We focus on the areas most likely to leak or fail: ridge caps and pointing, tiled fields for cracks or slippage, valleys and roof junctions, flashings around penetrations, and gutter runs where overflow can occur. For two-storey properties, we also document roof geometry and access constraints so you can plan repairs safely and efficiently.
A drone can’t see through materials, but it’s excellent at finding the common causes of leaks—broken or displaced tiles, failed pointing, lifted flashings, debris-packed valleys, and gutter overflow signs. If we see indicators that suggest water entry, we’ll explain the likely source areas and what further checks or repairs are typically needed to confirm and rectify the issue.
Often, yes. Many Vermont homes have older tiled roofs where pointing can crack, ridge caps can shift, and tiles can become brittle from age and weather exposure. Newer two-storey builds may have more complex rooflines with additional junctions and box gutters. The drone assessment targets the specific failure points for the roof style rather than relying on a one-size approach.
Safety and compliance come first. Strong winds, heavy rain, or poor visibility can prevent safe flying and reduce image quality. Airspace restrictions and nearby obstacles can also affect flight planning. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss options such as rescheduling for a better weather window or adjusting the inspection approach to still capture the key roof areas as safely as possible.
