How Drones are Impacting the Roofing Industry Today

How Drones are Impacting the Roofing Industry Today:                        

The drone has rapidly grown in popularity. While they were initially designed as a piece of equipment for the military to use, they have become commercialized. They are a fun hobby and can also help capture aerial footage for movies, commercials, and at-home videos. In fact, they are even being utilized by the roofing industry.

Many times, portions of a roof can be incredibly high or even inaccessible. If the damage was done to a roof like this, it can be extremely dangerous or even impossible to inspect the damage. This presents a problem when trying to provide an estimate for a client. Drones, however, can fly up to these areas and record the damage with great clarity. This allows a roofer to give a more accurate estimate and keeps them safe in the process.

Keeping a roofer safe results in less liability. If a roofer was injured falling off a roof, it could lead to a lawsuit. Drones help protect the roofing company and also protect the roofer since they have no risk of injury.

Finally, drones drastically decrease time and costs. There is less money spent on labor since a drone can simply fly up to a roof, record the video, and be done. Since they are faster, they also help increase efficiency, and these cost savings most certainly will be passed on to the customer.
