Drone Roof Inspections in West Texas
Roof-Tech now offers professional drone roof inspections throughout West Texas and eastern New Mexico. Our certified drone pilots use commercial-grade UAVs equipped with 4K cameras and thermal imaging to give you a complete picture of your roof's condition — without anyone climbing onto it.
Why drone roof inspections?
- Safer: No ladders, no walking on slick or damaged surfaces, and no risk of further damage to your shingles.
- Faster: A drone can survey a residential roof in under 15 minutes and a commercial roof in 30–45. Same-day reports are the rule, not the exception.
- More accurate: Aerial imagery catches storm damage, missing shingles, lifted flashing, granule loss, and ponding water that's easy to miss from the ground.
- Insurance-ready documentation: Every flight gives you geo-tagged photos and video you (and your adjuster) can use to build a clean claim. See our insurance claim guide for what to do next.
What our drone inspection covers
- Hail-impact damage on shingles, vents, and flashing.
- Wind damage — lifted, creased, or missing shingles.
- Storm debris, fallen branches, and impact points.
- Granule loss and aged asphalt indicating end-of-life.
- Flashing condition around chimneys, skylights, and pipe boots.
- Ponding water and drainage issues on flat or low-slope commercial roofs.
- Thermal scans (on request) that flag hidden moisture and insulation gaps.
How the drone inspection works
- Schedule. Call (806) 853-5199 for Lubbock, (432) 400-5310 for Midland, (432) 888-7435 for Odessa, (575) 552-8883 for Hobbs, or (575) 530-5550 for Clovis — or request an inspection online.
- Pre-flight. Our pilot files any required FAA notifications and inspects the airspace for restrictions before launching.
- Flight. The drone makes a perimeter sweep and a detailed close-in pass over every roof plane, ridge, valley, vent, and penetration.
- Report. Within 24 hours you get a written report with annotated photos, video clips, and a recommended scope of work if repairs are needed.
- Next steps. If the inspection turns up damage, your Roof-Tech project manager walks you through the options — repair, partial replacement, full roof replacement, or insurance-claim support.
Drone-friendly roofs
Drone inspections work for virtually every roof we service in West Texas and eastern New Mexico — single-family homes, multi-family buildings, light commercial, warehouses, and large flat commercial systems. They're especially useful for tall buildings, steep pitches, and post-storm assessments where walking the roof would be dangerous or slow.
Pair a drone inspection with everything else Roof-Tech does
A drone inspection is a great starting point — it gives us the data to recommend the right next step. From there the Roof-Tech crew handles roof repair, roof ventilation repair, skylight installation, silicone roof coatings, full new roof installation, or insurance claim support — same Roof-Tech project manager from estimate through final cleanup.
