A clearer view of your roof.

Not automatically. For a TREC home inspection, the standards generally require inspection from the roof surface. Exceptions apply when the inspector reasonably determines that safe access is not possible or walking the roof may cause significant damage. The inspection report should document the basis for that departure. Drone imagery can supplement the inspection, but it is not an unrestricted substitute for roof access.

They may show visible indicators that warrant closer evaluation. Some damage is subtle or concealed, and photographs alone may not establish its cause or when it occurred. An absence of obvious damage in the images does not establish that the roof is free of damage.

Photographs can help document visible conditions and may be useful when discussing a claim. The insurance company determines coverage under the policy; the inspection does not guarantee claim approval, a payment amount, or replacement of the roof.

No. The documentation helps identify matters to discuss with a qualified roofing professional. Repair recommendations, methods, and pricing require consideration of the actual work and materials involved.

Aerial roof documentation focuses on visible roof conditions through photographs. Roof measurements, material quantities, and aerial thermal assessments are separate deliverables and should not be assumed to be included. Review the selected service description for the confirmed scope.
