How Our Roofing Drones Catch Problems Other Contractors Miss

Let’s face it — not every roofer is eager to climb your steep, aging roof and give it a proper once-over.

That’s why here at Red Patch Roofing, we bring a little high-tech help to every inspection: drones.

Our drone inspections don’t just look cool (though they do). They help us spot roof problems that other contractors miss — and they help YOU see exactly what’s going on overhead.

Here’s why drones make a real difference for homeowners in Berks County and surrounding areas.

🚁 Why Use a Drone for Roof Inspections?

1️⃣ Safety

Some roofs are too steep, slippery, or fragile to walk safely — especially after storm damage. With a drone, we can inspect every inch without risking further damage or injury.

2️⃣ Full Coverage

Even on walkable roofs, it’s easy to miss areas:

  • Valleys

  • Eaves

  • Overhangs

  • Tight corners

Our drone provides a 360° view — nothing gets overlooked.

3️⃣ Zoomed-In Detail

Today’s drones capture high-res images and 4K video. We can see:

  • Shingle cracks

  • Granule loss

  • Flashing gaps

  • Nail pops

  • Soft spots and dips

You’ll see these photos too — we give them to every homeowner.

🔍 What Problems Drones Help Us Spot

Hail damage

Wind-lifted shingles

Weak flashing around chimneys and vents

Blocked gutters

Early granule wear

Ridge and hip defects

In short — the little issues that cause big leaks if ignored.


🏠 Why Homeowners Love It

  • No ladders scraping siding

  • No damage to fragile or older roofs during inspection

  • You get clear photos to reference for insurance claims or repairs

  • Transparency — you see exactly what we see

No smoke and mirrors. No “trust me, it’s bad.” You’ll have the photos in hand.
