What an Aerial Inspection Shows
A drone inspection is a fast, high-resolution visual check of anything awkward, expensive or unsafe to reach on foot. We fly a consistent pattern over the structure and capture imagery detailed enough to see cracked flashing, lifted shingles, ponding water, displaced panels, blocked drainage and general wear.
You get the imagery plus a written summary flagging what we found and where, so you can decide what needs a closer look. What drone inspections do not replace is a licensed structural or roofing assessment. They are the step that tells you whether you need one.
Why Property Teams Use Drone Inspections
Getting a person on a roof means ladders, fall protection, scheduling and liability. A drone covers the same ground in a fraction of the time with nobody leaving the ground. For roofers and property managers across Reno and Sparks, that turns a half-day job into a short site visit.
It also produces a dated visual record. If you are documenting condition before a sale, after a storm, or at the start of a lease, time-stamped aerial imagery on file is far more useful than a written note alone.
Sites We Cover
Roofs, commercial and residential structures, solar arrays, towers, storage yards and hard-to-access exteriors throughout Reno, Sparks, Carson City and the Lake Tahoe area. Flyer Visions is FAA Part 107 certified and carries liability insurance, with proof available on request.
One practical note on scheduling. Anything within roughly a mile of a major airport sits in controlled airspace and needs longer for authorization, so send us the address as early as you can and we will start that process while you are still deciding.

What happens if weather affects our scheduled shoot?
As drone pilots we are constantly monitoring the weather. If weather is going to affect our scheduled shoot we work with our clients to reschedule to a suitable time.Â
Do you need special permits or authorization to fly at my location?
During the pre-flight planning process we take care of all the research and leg work to get approval for the airspace at your location. Some locations will require FAA approval and can affect the scheduling of your flight. *Note* FAA approval is never a guarantee.Â
Do I need to be on location for the scheduled shoot?
Up to you! We make sure to ask the right questions before hand so that you can know we will get the coverage you’re looking for, without having to step foot on-site. That said, drones are pretty cool so you’re welcome to come out and watch us work too!Â
What do I receive after an inspection — photos, a report, or both?
Both. You get the images plus a report of anything caught during processing. We still recommend going through the photos yourself — the report covers what we flagged, not necessarily everything that matters to you.
Can you fly close enough to see roof damage, cracks or seam detail?
On most projects, yes. The exception is sightlines — sometimes trees are in the way and that angle cannot be flown safely.
