A visual record after severe weather

Storm and insurance documentation

After a storm, aerial photographs can create a timely record of the roof and exterior before repairs or further weather changes the condition.

Storm and insurance documentation

The practical version

What this service is—and what it isn’t

I photograph visible conditions and organize the files for the property owner, roofer, contractor, or insurer to review. I do not determine coverage, assign cause, negotiate claims, or act as a public adjuster.

A good fit for

  • Documenting visible roof and exterior conditions
  • Sharing hard-to-access views with a roofer
  • Creating a date-stamped property record
  • Before-and-after repair documentation

Important limits

  • Photos do not prove the cause or date of damage
  • I do not provide claim valuation or coverage advice
  • Hidden damage cannot be confirmed from aerial imagery
  • Emergency and unsafe sites may require additional clearance

Deliverables

What you receive

Roof overview

Overhead and angled photographs of the roof and visible exterior.

Detail images

Closer views of visible areas requested by the client or contractor.

Organized download

Files grouped by side, roof section, or area of concern.

Scheduling

The flight is planned around the job—not the other way around.

Storm work depends on safe weather, airspace, site access, and demand. Contact me with the address and a short description so I can confirm availability.

You’ll receive a written scope before the flight so the deliverables, limitations, timing, and price are clear.

Questions

Common questions

Will you tell my insurer what caused the damage?

No. I provide photographs and notes about what is visible. Cause and coverage decisions belong to the appropriate professionals.

Can a roofer direct the photos they need?

Yes. A roofer or contractor can provide a shot list or join a brief call before the flight.

Do you enter damaged structures?

No. My work is aerial and exterior unless a separate safe scope is agreed.
