The use of a drone not only provides a state-of-the-art assessment of your roof but eliminates the potential liability of someone accidentally falling off the roof during an inspection. The liability risk increases with each step up once a ladder touches home and drops once the ladder is back on the truck.
So is it possible to be a roof inspection salesman and never have to climb the roof at all, while using a drone or will you actually have to get on the roof at some point?
Enjoying the video, but as a heads up to your viewers and listeners, studying for and passing that test is not as easy as this nice man makes it seem. I would highly recommend drone launch Academy, great course which took about 24 hours to go through, and I passed the test the first time. Thanks again for all you do Adam 🙏🏼
Super helpful feedback and information! Clearly, I haven't personally been through the exam. So your input is greatly appreciated! Thanks for the comment!

Drones still pictures can take pics with a Mavic 2 Pro at 20 MP images. It can document obvious hail. If you can see it, so can a drone. If you want it to see bruising, then no it won't do that because there is no contrast. It can't feel the bruise like an apple. There a companies out there that will claim to ID hail hits but most are false positives.
Only sort of. They are different animals. You can order an Eagle View from your couch. In order to get a roof measurement from your drone, you have to fly it. Different uses for each.
If you have a drone, yes, you can replace your Eagleview with Certifly. As Adam said, its different methods but Certifly offers 100% coverage, less than 1% margin of error, a greatly reduced price and faster turnaround. For those reasons, a drone with the Certifly Roof app would replace Eagleview.
If you can easily access the roof then you have to get on the roof and inspect for hail and wind damage! Up close with the human eye is the absolute best way to identify hail and wind damage!! The only time a Drone makes any kind of sense is when the roof is extremely difficult to access and that's the best way to access to see what you need to see. But you are limited to what you can actually see with a Drone. But, the takeaway is that those hard to access roofs are the big money roofs and the big commission roofs! But here in Florida, 90% of the homes are easy to access, one story, 4x12 pitch.
All great points, Tracy Scott. I do agree. Reminds me of that saying, "if the only tool you know how to use is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail." Drones are a TOOL that can and should be used for the right application :) Super appreciate the comment and insight!
Wow. This guy has stated so much wrong information. VLOS is still a legal requirement with BRIEF periods of lost visual line of sight. The 107 is NOT easy. Learning the sectional charts, METARS, TAFS, airspace requirements, airport data and frequencies, etc. His blatant misinformation should discredit everything he said.

Well said and I agree! But the only way it's as powerful as it can be as a sales tool is if you can generate the assessment/report on the spot.
@@TheRoofStrategist You are correct and I can provide that report with Certifly.

You’re welcome amigo. It was fairly challenging but worth it to be legit 😅
@@SpiritualStuntman Glad to hear that. Always worth it to be "legit!" and do business on the up-and-up.

Hey Adam - How about "meeting w/ the adjuster" when using a drone..
That's a GREAT question, Clay! I haven't tried that nor have I spoken with anyone who has (yet). So maybe someone else will chime in here :)
I have heard of contractors who have taped adjuster meetings so they can document where the adjuster was looking on the roof.
What is the level of detail, how well can it identify hail bruising/hits?
Drones still pictures can take pics with a Mavic 2 Pro at 20 MP images. It can document obvious hail. If you can see it, so can a drone. If you want it to see bruising, then no it won't do that because there is no contrast. It can't feel the bruise like an apple.

so can drones replace eagle view?

I was using a dji spark to make videos and stuff but then i ran it over with the dump truck.
Woooopsies!
