How Drones are Transforming Roofing Contractor Efficiency

Roofing contractors have long faced many of the same challenges; from accurately measuring the size and shape of a roof, to safely navigating the site. Fortunately, today’s technology, including drones, is quickly revolutionizing the way roofing contractors work, allowing them to be more efficient than ever before.

Drones are providing roofing contractors with an unprecedented level of accuracy when measuring rooftop's. With the help of a drone, contractors can quickly and accurately measure the dimensions of a roof, enabling them to more accurately bid on projects. In addition, drones can be used to document progress, giving contractors the ability to compare progress from one day to the next and ensure that their project is on track.

Drones are also providing contractors with the ability to create 3D models of roofs. Using highly-dense point clouds, contractors can now measure things like downspout lengths and roof heights with unprecedented accuracy. This helps contractors better plan their projects and ultimately save time and money.

In addition to providing contractors with more accurate measurements and better planning capabilities, drones are also helping contractors keep their crews safe. With a drone, contractors can inspect rooftops from the ground, ensuring that their crews are operating in a safe manner and would pass an OSHA inspection if it were to arise. This helps contractors save time, money, and potentially lives. By utilizing the latest drone technology, roofing contractors are able to revolutionize their operations, allowing them to be more efficient with their work. With the ability to accurately measure rooftops, document progress, and inspect roofs safely, contractors can quickly complete projects and get back to work.

Finally, drones are reducing the need for ladders by providing contractors with an alternative way to inspect roofs. By using a drone, contractors can inspect rooftops without having to climb a ladder at all.
