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 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.
