Used on 3 million sites in 180 countries

Stop climbing every roof just to get basic data.

Inspect & document

See the whole roof before you set a ladder.

Capture steep and flat roofs from the air to spot damage, ponding, debris and safety issues in minutes instead of hours on foot.
Measure & estimate

Quote with measurements, not guesses.

Frequently asked questions

Is DroneDeploy the right fit
 for your operations?

Do we need licensed drone pilots or our own drones to start?

You don’t. You can start with Data on Demand to order drone flights on‑demand, then introduce in‑house drones as your program grows.

We already use tape measures, wheels and third‑party reports. Do we really need this?

If your team is still walking every roof for photos and hand sketches, you’re spending time and taking risk you don’t need to. DroneDeploy’s drone roof surveys give you repeatable captures, detailed reports and a permanent visual record you can reuse across sales, production and service.

Is this only for big commercial roofs, or does it work for residential too?

DroneDeploy supports both. Contractors use it for single‑family homes, multifamily, retail, industrial and everything in between – anywhere accurate drone roof measurements, documentation and safety matter.

Can DroneDeploy meet our security and compliance requirements?

Yes. Enterprise roofing customers use DroneDeploy as a central platform for flight operations and data because it offers encrypted data at rest and in transit, role‑based permissions, and enterprise‑grade controls including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Can I trust the drone roof measurements for bids and insurance work?

Yes. When you follow recommended capture practices, roof measurement reports provide highly accurate dimensions and areas that estimators and adjusters can rely on, backed by the underlying imagery.

How does this help if I manage assets across multiple regions?

DroneDeploy gives you “eyes on site” in 4K across every project. You can compare sites, approve work and prioritize remediation from your desk instead of flying to each location.

How does thermal fit into this?

Thermal maps help you identify trapped moisture, wet insulation and hidden leaks that aren’t visible in RGB photos. You can prioritize repairs, confirm dry‑down and show clients exactly where problems exist.

How does this help if my crews and offices are in different locations?

DroneDeploy gives sales, production and service teams a shared, timestamped view of every roof. Field teams capture once; everyone else reviews from their desk, reducing repeat visits and miscommunication.
