Drone photography and roof inspections in Rochester, NY

Rochester is the largest commercial roofing market we serve — downtown blocks, mill and warehouse conversions, apartment buildings, schools, churches and institutional property, most of it flat or low slope and much of it a century old. Parapets, drains, seams and rooftop equipment are where the failures start, and there is no view of any of that from the street.

For landlords and managers holding portfolios across the city, one afternoon of flying produces a current photographic record of every roof. Historic churches and mills add steep slate and copper that no one should be walking on.

How it works: one flight per visit — additional flights are $95. You are buying deliverables, not airtime: the photo and video counts above are what you get. Commercial roofs over 10,000 sq ft are quoted separately starting at $650. First 25 miles from Red Creek are free, then $0.90 per mile.

Airspace and scheduling in Rochester

The city sits inside controlled airspace with active approach paths, so every flight is flown under LAANC authorization with altitude limits observed, and some downtown blocks require additional planning. About an hour and fifteen from Red Creek; mileage applies past twenty-five miles. Weather is the only thing that moves a date — steady rain and hard wind ground the aircraft, and a calm overcast day is often better light for roof detail than full sun.
