Why Drone Footage Can Be Misleading

Don’t Rely on the View From Above—Here’s Why It Matters

Watch: Why You Need a Hands-On Roof Inspection

Drones Are Useful—But They Don’t Tell the Whole Story

A bird’s-eye view of your roof might look informative, but when it comes to hail damage, drone footage often misses the most important details.

The Truth About Drone Inspections

🔍 Can a drone see granule loss?
Nope.
🖐 Can it feel subtle indentations in the shingle?
Definitely not.

Here’s what our expert explains in the video:

• Hail damage often looks like wear and tear from above
  
• Only a hands-on inspection can detect the soft spots, dents, and bruising
  
• Visual-only assessments can mislead you—or your insurance adjuster
  

If you’re relying on drone photos alone, you might miss claim-worthy damage or delay needed repairs.
