Drones - A Useful Tool For Roofers?

Someone said the drone is useless for a roofing company. I beg to differ. Check out this drone video I shot this morning of the 20-story building I reroofed in 1987. My office was on the 9th floor for a couple years.

I was just messing around and even though it wasn't my intent, stopping the video as I rotated the drone, I can spot 6-8 roofs that need work which I will follow thru on Monday.

If I took it up a couple hundred feet higher and rotated slowly, I would be able to identify 30 roofs that need work.

At the :28 mark about 2" from the top of the screen, you can see a foam roof we just finished yesterday although it is a way away.

After closer review, I was wrong. I can spot 20 roofs that likely need work. I will quickly adapt and start taking it up to the legal height of 400', slowly rotate 360 degrees, move 10 blocks over, repeat.
