Roof inspections have always been a critical part of maintaining a property—especially in storm-prone regions like Southeast Louisiana. Whether you’re a homeowner, insurance adjuster, real estate agent, or roofing contractor, getting a clear view of roof damage is essential. But traditionally, this task meant climbing ladders, risking falls, or potentially causing more damage to the structure.
Using drones for roof inspections has completely transformed the process, making it faster, safer, and significantly more detailed. At Pelican DroneWorks, we specialize in drone roof inspections that eliminate the risks while delivering high-resolution, zoomable imagery and comprehensive visual documentation.
Why Using Drones for Roof Inspections Makes Sense
Imagine getting a complete roof report—clear images, problem areas identified, even video footage—without anyone setting foot on your roof. That’s the power of drone technology. Our team uses advanced drone equipment and industry-leading imaging tools to perform thorough inspections of residential and commercial rooftops.
Our aerial inspection services detect:
- Missing or damaged shingles and tiles
- Storm, hail, or wind damage
- Drainage issues and pooling water
- Algae growth, mold, or discoloration
- Cracks, soft spots, and signs of wear or age
These insights are delivered straight to you—no ladders, no scaffolding, no safety risks involved.
Built for Louisiana’s Harsh Weather
In Southeast Louisiana, we know the weather doesn’t take it easy on rooftops. Between the hurricanes, seasonal storms, extreme heat, and high humidity, roof damage can occur more frequently than most homeowners expect.
Routine inspections are crucial—but they shouldn’t put anyone in harm’s way. That’s why more and more Louisianans are turning to drone roof inspections to assess the condition of their homes. With our drone-based approach, we can respond rapidly after storms and deliver damage assessments that help move the repair and insurance processes along quickly.
Benefits of Drone Roof Inspections:
✅ Fast Turnaround – Inspections typically completed same-day or next-day
✅ Non-Invasive – No physical contact with fragile or aging roofing materials
✅ Highly Detailed Imagery – HD zoomable photos and 4K video footage
✅ Peace of Mind – Stay safe on the ground while getting a full picture from above

Understanding Drone Roof Inspections Cost
One common question we receive is: “What does a drone roof inspection cost?” The answer depends on several factors, including property size, type of deliverables (photos, video, 3D models), and the urgency of the inspection.
However, in general, drone roof inspections cost less than traditional inspections when you consider labor, time, and potential damage risk. Our affordable pricing is transparent, and we offer tailored packages depending on whether you’re a homeowner filing a claim or a contractor needing marketing-ready visuals.
More importantly, our services eliminate the need for lift rentals, scaffolding, or additional personnel—saving time and money on every inspection.
Expanding Beyond Roofs: Drone Infrastructure Inspection Services
In addition to rooftops, we also specialize in drone infrastructure inspection for commercial buildings, industrial structures, and critical infrastructure assets. Whether you’re managing bridges, telecom towers, solar arrays, or energy pipelines, our drones can access hard-to-reach places and deliver visual data that enhances both safety and decision-making.
Our drone infrastructure inspection solutions offer:
- Safer assessment of elevated, unstable, or hazardous areas
