**Austin, TX**

# **Roof inspection FAQ**

Common questions about drone roof inspections, legality, deliverables, and whether you need to be on site.

## **How much does a drone roof inspection cost?**

In Austin, Standard residential inspections are $199 flat. Large or complex roofs are $299. Additional buildings on the same visit are $149 each. Prices are published on the site—no quote call required for typical homes in our service area.

## **Do you need to be home for the inspection?**

Usually not. We work from the exterior and public right-of-way or with property access you arrange. Locked gates or HOA rules should be flagged when you book.

## **Is drone inspection legal in my neighborhood?**

We operate under FAA Part 107 rules, check airspace restrictions before every flight, and stay clear of airports and temporary flight restrictions.

## **How is this different from walking the roof?**

You get broader coverage and close-ups without walking fragile or steep surfaces. Walk-on still matters for some repairs; we help you decide when that is needed.

## **What do I receive after the flight?**

A shareable package of high-resolution photos, optional overview mosaic, and notes highlighting wear, storm damage, or maintenance items.

## **Can insurers use the images?**

Yes. Many adjusters accept clear, dated aerial documentation as supporting evidence alongside a contractor estimate.
