Do you walk the roof?

I must be using these drones wrong, I can’t see any thing.

Judging by the wings, I think your drone is too big.

I haven’t tried a drone yet. I just can’t imagine it being as accurate or as relative as actually touching an area, lifting loose shingles to check for correct placement of fasteners, etc. I’m sure they have their place (wet slippery roofs, extremely steep roofs, etc.). The actual touchy/feely is an important part of the roof inspection, IMO.

Your assumption is accurate… and I do have a drone. However, it will only ever be used where I can get no other access… and I also have a camera pole which would very likely be pulled out before the drone.

I plan on only walking low to moderately pitched asphalt shingle roofs. For everything else I use a 24’ aluminum telescoping painters pole with a camera adapter on the end.
