Quick answer
Rocky Mountain Photography provides Denver Colorado drone roof inspection imagery for residential and commercial roofs, gutters, chimneys, and facades. Our Part 107-certified, insured pilots capture organized overview and close-up imagery without ladders or lifts, so roofers, property managers, and insurers can review conditions safely. Your qualified inspector or adjuster makes the assessment. Request a quote or book online.
Drone inspection in Denver, CO has become routine for roofers, adjusters, and property managers because it keeps people off steep, icy, or fragile roofs. Front Range hail season can leave whole neighborhoods needing documentation at once, and a drone can record a roof's slopes, valleys, vents, and gutters in a fraction of the time a climb takes, with images that can be reviewed again later.
Rocky Mountain Photography, founded in Denver in 2016 by brothers Jeff and Nick Perry, flies inspection imagery for houses, townhome communities, apartments, and small commercial buildings. We are a capture team, not a roofing contractor or engineering firm. That keeps our role clear: we deliver a thorough, well-labeled image set, and your licensed professional decides what the images mean.
A typical residential flight starts with overview images from each side of the house and a top-down view of the whole roof. The pilot then works slope by slope, capturing closer images of shingles or tiles, ridge caps, valleys, flashing around chimneys and skylights, plumbing vents, satellite mounts, and gutters and downspouts. Elevation shots document siding, fascia, soffits, and windows when they are part of the scope. For hail and wind claims, the close-ups give an adjuster or roofer a consistent record across every face of the roof. For maintenance, they show debris buildup, sagging gutters, or missing pieces before small issues grow. Because the drone can hover at a steady distance, images are uniform and easy to compare from slope to slope or from one year to the next.
Images are delivered through an online gallery, organized by roof plane or elevation so a reviewer can follow the house in order. Full-resolution JPEGs allow zooming into a specific area, and a short overview video can be added when it helps a homeowner or board understand the whole roof. Roofers use the set to prepare estimates and material orders without a second trip. Insurance adjusters and restoration companies use it to document conditions on a claim file. Property managers keep dated sets for each building so they can track wear over time and plan capital projects. If you need measurements, an orthomosaic or 3D model can be produced from a mapping flight, which gives your estimator a scaled image to work from.
After a major hailstorm, demand for roof imagery spikes across the metro, so contact us early and share every address at once if you manage several properties. We confirm airspace for each location, since many Denver neighborhoods sit under controlled airspace, and we check authorization before every flight. Wet, snowy, or very windy conditions can delay flights, and roofs covered in snow cannot be documented properly, so we watch forecasts and reschedule when needed. Before the visit, let residents or tenants know a drone will be overhead, move vehicles away from the driveway if possible, and tell us about pets, gates, or nearby power lines. The flight itself is usually short. Next-day delivery is available on many photo shoots, which helps teams keep claims and estimates moving.
Flat and low-slope roofs on warehouses, retail centers, and office buildings follow a different plan, covered on our commercial roof drone inspection page. Facades, towers, signs, and other structures are covered under drone visual inspection. When a roof leak has caused interior damage, a Matterport scan documents ceilings, walls, and rooms in 3D for restoration and insurance files. General drone imaging covers non-inspection imagery such as before and after photos for a completed reroof, which many roofers use in marketing. If your estimator needs measurements, a mapping flight can produce a scaled image to work from. Combining a pre-job inspection set with a post-job photo set gives a roofing company documentation for the customer and a strong portfolio piece for its own website.

No. The drone captures detailed imagery, and a qualified roofer, engineer, or adjuster evaluates it. We do not diagnose damage or write repair recommendations. Our job is to give the professional a complete, organized image set to review.
Yes. Close-up images of every roof slope, plus gutters, vents, and soft metals, give adjusters and roofers a consistent record after a hailstorm. Availability tightens after big storms, so contact us early with all addresses that need documentation.
For gathering imagery, yes. Nobody has to climb a steep, wet, or damaged roof to capture photos. A roofer may still need to go up for hands-on testing, but the drone set often reduces how many climbs are needed.
Often, yes. We check airspace authorization before every flight and request it through LAANC where available. A few addresses close to airports may be limited, and we will tell you before scheduling if a property cannot be approved.
Images arrive in an online gallery grouped by elevation and roof plane, starting with overviews and moving into close-ups. That order makes it easy for a reviewer to follow the roof and reference specific areas in an estimate or claim.
