When your roof is too steep to walk safely or the building is large enough that a visual inspection would take hours, drone technology allows Westgate Roofing to capture detailed imagery without putting weight on aging shingles or climbing onto unstable sections. Homeowners and property managers in Middletown use drone inspections to assess storm damage, document roof condition for insurance claims, and identify issues early before they require emergency repairs.

The drone captures high-resolution photos and video from multiple angles, showing the condition of shingles, flashing, and penetrations that would otherwise require ladders and scaffolding. The imagery is reviewed with you after the flight, and you receive a report that highlights areas of concern. This method is especially useful for hard-to-access roofs, multi-story buildings, and properties where traditional inspection methods would damage fragile roofing materials.

How the inspection process works

The drone operator arrives at your property in Middletown, conducts a pre-flight check, and launches the aircraft to capture footage of the roof surface, edges, and any visible damage. The flight typically takes fifteen to thirty minutes depending on building size and roof complexity. Weather conditions must allow for safe operation, so inspections are rescheduled if wind speeds are too high or visibility is poor.

After the flight, you receive clear visuals that show missing shingles, lifted flashing, cracked membrane, or areas where water is likely to penetrate. The imagery helps you understand what needs attention and supports conversations with insurance adjusters or repair contractors. This is not guesswork based on a view from the ground.

Drone inspections are ideal for steep residential roofs, large commercial buildings, and properties with skylights or rooftop equipment that complicate foot access. The service is available throughout Middletown and surrounding areas, and the inspection can be scheduled as a standalone service or as part of a repair or replacement consultation.

What property owners ask before booking

Most questions about drone roof inspections focus on accuracy, timing, and what the imagery actually shows. These answers cover the practical details that come up before scheduling the service.

What can a drone inspection detect?
Westgate Roofing uses drone imagery to identify missing shingles, damaged flashing, cracked membrane, and areas where water is pooling or draining improperly. The inspection does not replace a hands-on assessment when structural issues or hidden damage are suspected.
How long does the inspection take?
Most drone flights are completed in fifteen to thirty minutes depending on roof size and complexity. Review of the imagery and report preparation is done shortly after the flight.
Will the drone damage my roof?
No, the drone does not make contact with your roof. It captures imagery from the air, which eliminates the risk of foot traffic damaging shingles or causing punctures in membrane systems.
Can I use the imagery for an insurance claim?
Yes, the high-resolution photos and video provide clear documentation of roof damage for insurance purposes. Westgate Roofing can provide a written report to accompany the imagery if needed.
What happens if you find damage?
You receive a detailed explanation of the issues found, along with repair or replacement recommendations. Westgate Roofing can schedule follow-up service based on the findings and your timeline.
