The Problem in Roofing
These are the challenges AI solves for roofing contractors every day.
Roof inspections are slow, dangerous, and expensive
Climbing every roof with a clipboard costs time and creates safety liability. Drones with AI damage detection survey a roof in minutes and produce a professional report automatically.
Insurance adjusters question your damage assessments
Subjective inspections lead to disputes with adjusters. AI-generated reports with georeferenced photos, precise measurements, and damage classifications provide undeniable documentation.
Slow estimates mean lost storm-chasing revenue
After a storm, speed wins. Contractors who can inspect, estimate, and present a proposal same-day close dramatically more jobs than those who take a week.

Frequently Asked Questions: AI for Roofing
Answers to the most common questions about AI in the roofing trade.
How does drone AI detect roof damage?
Drones capture overlapping high-resolution photos of the entire roof surface. AI algorithms trained on millions of images identify damage types — missing shingles, hail impacts, cracking, ponding — and measure affected areas with centimeter accuracy.
How much time does AI save on roofing inspections?
Traditional roof inspections take 1 to 3 hours including setup, climbing, photos, measurements, and report writing. Drone AI completes the same work in 15 to 30 minutes with more accurate results — a 60% or greater time savings per inspection.
Can roofing AI help with insurance claims?
Yes. AI-generated reports include georeferenced damage photos, precise square footage calculations, and damage type classifications that insurance adjusters recognize. This standardized documentation reduces disputes and speeds up claim approvals.
Do roofing contractors need a drone license for AI inspections?
Commercial drone operation in the US requires a Part 107 license from the FAA. Many roofing AI companies offer drone-as-a-service where a licensed pilot handles the flying, so you can benefit from the technology without getting certified yourself.
What is the ROI of drone AI for roofing companies?
Roofing contractors using drone AI report 60% less inspection admin time, 30% more inspections per day, and higher close rates from same-day professional reports. For a busy roofing company, this translates to $5,000 to $15,000 in additional monthly revenue.
