A complete drone roof inspection requires between 30 minutes and 2 hours from setup to completion. The actual flight portion takes 15 to 30 minutes, with additional time needed for equipment preparation and data analysis. Factors affecting duration include your roof's size, complexity, and the inspection's thoroughness. Properties with multiple roof sections or complicated designs require more time to document properly.

Drone inspections are particularly beneficial for older or delicate roofing materials because they eliminate the need for direct foot traffic. Unlike traditional methods where inspectors walk on the roof, drones capture detailed imagery without physical contact. This contactless approach prevents potential damage to aging shingles, brittle tiles, or structurally compromised areas while still providing a comprehensive visual assessment of the roof's condition.
