Drone Roof Inspection Is the Way of the Future

Our team has a tradition of doing things a bit differently. Drone roof inspections may come as no surprise to our longtime clients. We strive daily to be the best roofing option in Columbus and Detroit, but we also look to be the most innovative. Besides our one-of-a-kind pet-friendly approach to roof repairs, we offer a variety of options for customers to receive their free estimates on roof repair work. Text estimates, email quotes, and (socially-distanced) in-person visits are available, but our most innovative and exciting method is a drone roof inspection. That’s right! We will send our company drone to your house if you choose. In fact, we truly hope you do! Besides just being awesome, drone roof inspection is also a very practical means of giving estimates. Here are a few reasons why the roofing industry is looking at drones for the future of roof repair estimates:

Why Drone Roof Inspection

Social Distancing

This is the big one, of course. It’s the primary reason we at GPro believe investing in drone technology is a wise decision for roofing contractors. Keeping our customers safe is one of 3 core promises we make to every customer, and we take that seriously. We also happen to like our employees. As of the date of publication, maintaining social distance is still highly advisable. We want to continue doing our part, and drone estimates help us limit contact. As an essential service, GPro Exteriors has fully complied with healthcare officials throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. So anything that we can do to keep you safe — we’re going to do it. And hey, if you get a cool drone visit out of the deal… even better, right?

June 2021 update: Even as returning to normality becomes safer and safer, the GPro crew will continue to respect anyone who feels more comfortable maintaining distance through drone roof inspections or any other measures.

Accuracy

Nothing says “precise” like HD video footage. Choosing a drone roof inspection lets our company get everything we need to give you an extremely realistic cost estimate of any roof repair work your home needs. If we have any questions at all, it takes mere seconds to go back over the footage. This lets our team proceed with confidence to every job. Using drones for roofing estimates (window, siding, and gutter estimates too, where needed) can significantly cut down on miscommunication and mistakes. We take pride in being precise with our work as well as with the information we give our customers. Drones help our team live up to this benchmark of quality.

Response Time

In general, an in-person estimate may sound alright. But when a roofing contractor tells you it will take days to get someone out to your home, that can be a problem. Especially if your home is critically damaged and you need a roof shingles repair company immediately. All the hassle of waiting around becomes a non-issue with drone roof inspections. Even in busy season, GPro can get you a free estimate as soon as your schedule permits. Simply let us know what time works best for you (in case any of the family wants to be there to watch a professional drone in action!).

No matter how you look at it, drones are shaping up to be a big part of the future of roof repairs. We’re excited to be a part of that evolution. Stay safe out there, and let us know anytime you could use a free, no obligation drone estimate.
