Drone, rooftop, and attic inspections with a photo report you keep. Free on the insurance-claim path; flat-fee reports for HOAs, renewals, and real estate.

Two Ways a Roof Inspection Happens Here

There are two honest versions of this service, and which one you need decides what it costs.

The free claim-path inspection. If your roof may have storm or wind damage, the inspection and the photo report cost you nothing and carry no obligation. It is free because when the damage supports an insurance claim, we work the whole job with you, from the first photos through the claim process to coordinating the licensed crew that builds the new roof. The contractors pay us for documented, ready-to-build jobs, so you never do. Not sure a storm even came through? Search the Oahu Storm Date Index, every NOAA-recorded Oahu storm since 1996.

The flat-fee inspection report. Sometimes you just need the document: an HOA wants proof of roof condition, your homeowners or hurricane coverage renewal asks for it, a real estate transaction needs it, or you want a professional baseline on file for a roof you are keeping an eye on. Those are standalone jobs with a simple one-time fee, quoted up front when you book. You get the same inspection and the same report either way.

More Than a Drone Flight

The drone is usually where we start, because it captures every slope, edge, and penetration in high resolution, including the sections that are unsafe to walk. But it is not the whole inspection. Where the roof allows it, we get on the surface and check what hands and eyes catch that a lens does not: soft decking, brittle shingles, loose flashing, sealant that looks fine and is not. And when the concern is water getting in, we go inside the attic, because wind-driven leaks show up there first, as stains and damp framing that trace back to an entry point up-slope from where your ceiling shows it. That interior tracing is the same skill behind our leak detection work, and it is how wind damage that is invisible from the street gets found and documented.

The Report You Keep

Every inspection produces a written deliverable, not a verbal "looks fine." It is photo-heavy and captioned, organized by roof section, with separate sections for active damage, deferred maintenance, and remaining service life. Where damage is potentially claim-relevant, that section is written in the language carriers recognize: wind uplift, impact, storm-created openings. The report arrives as a PDF that drops cleanly into an insurance file, an HOA packet, or a real estate disclosure, and it is yours regardless of what you decide to do next.

Who Orders the Flat-Fee Version

• HOAs and property managers that require periodic roof condition documentation
• Homeowners facing an insurance renewal, including the hurricane-coverage renewals where Hawaii carriers increasingly ask for proof of roof condition and age
• Buyers and sellers who need the roof's real condition on paper before closing, alongside our full inspection services for pre-listing and pre-purchase work
• Owners who want a baseline: a documented starting point for an aging roof, so future damage has a before picture

What Happens After

Three outcomes, all of them fine. If the roof is sound, you get the report saying so, and that document is worth keeping on file. If it needs a repair, we say exactly what and why, and can coordinate a licensed crew for the fix. And if we find storm or wind damage that insurance should be paying for, the inspection converts to the free claim path on the spot, and the evidence we just gathered becomes the backbone of your storm damage claim. There is never pressure toward the expensive answer; the report says what the roof actually is.
