Drone Inspection Services
SkyeCam provides drone inspection services in Los Angeles for property managers, facility teams, HOA boards, contractors, and insurance adjusters. We inspect roofs, facades, solar arrays, and construction sites from the air, then deliver organized photos and video you can review or share.
The aerial team behind HBO, Netflix, and Disney productions — FAA Part 107 certified, flying since 2012.
What we inspect
01
Roofs are the most common drone inspection we do. We fly over residential and commercial roofs to document shingles, tiles, membranes, flashing, gutters, skylights, and penetrations. The images give you a current view of wear, storm damage, or debris without walking on the roof. You can share them with a roofer or adjuster.
02
Thermal and moisture inspections use an infrared camera to find temperature differences not visible in regular photos. We can identify trapped moisture under membrane roofs, insulation gaps, and hot spots on electrical and mechanical equipment. The radiometric images include temperature data to help a contractor decide where to investigate further.
03
Commercial rooftop solar arrays can be checked with a visual and thermal flight. We look for hot cells, soiling, shading, and damaged modules from above. The images show the general condition of the array. This is a first-pass inspection that the owner’s solar contractor can use to plan repairs or maintenance.
04
Building exteriors and facades are easier to assess with a camera in the air. We document cladding, windows, parapets, water staining, and post-storm damage on multi-story buildings. The photos give you a close view of hard-to-reach areas from the ground and help you decide whether a contractor should take a closer look.
05
Construction sites benefit from regular aerial progress documentation. We fly on a schedule to capture site overviews, material staging, and completed phases from consistent angles. These images help contractors and owners track progress and keep a visual record of the work. We can coordinate flights around active crews and equipment.
06
Towers, signage, and other hard-to-reach structures often require a drone for a safe visual check. We document antennas, rooftop signs, parapet walls, and other elevated features that would otherwise need a lift or a climber. The goal is to give you a clear, current photo record of the condition from every side.
What you receive
Every inspection includes organized files you can pass along. These aerial inspection services document what the drone saw, not replace a licensed roofer, engineer, or contractor’s written assessment. You get the visual record; your trusted professional makes the call.
How it works
STEP 01
We talk through the structure, what you need to see, and whether thermal is useful.
STEP 02
We check controlled airspace and obtain authorizations if needed.
STEP 03
The flight is usually the shortest part of the process. Typical time on site depends on the size and number of structures.
STEP 04
We review the footage, organize the files, and deliver your package, usually within a few business days.
A drone beats a ladder, lift, or scaffold for a first look because it is faster and safer. We see the top of a building from multiple angles quickly, avoid foot traffic on roof surfaces, and capture repeatable shots that make it easy to compare conditions over time. The result is a photo record that helps you decide what to do next.

FAQ
The cost of drone inspection services in Los Angeles depends on the size of the structure, whether you need thermal or visual only, and how much reporting you want. We give an itemized quote by phone after we understand the scope.
Yes. We operate under FAA Part 107 and obtain controlled airspace authorizations when needed. We get the property owner’s permission before flying. We keep a safe distance from neighbors and respect privacy by not hovering over occupied spaces without a reason.
A visual drone inspection can show damaged shingles, cracked flashing, or debris that may cause leaks. A thermal drone can show temperature patterns that suggest trapped moisture under a membrane. That helps a roofer know where to look, but a roofer should confirm the leak.
The photos, video, and thermal images we deliver are documentation that adjusters and contractors can use. We do not adjust claims or provide engineering opinions. If your adjuster needs a specific angle or format, let us know before the flight.
We can usually schedule a flight within a few days, depending on weather and airspace approvals. Rain and high wind can delay a flight. The fastest way to get on the calendar is to call us and describe the structure.
Yes. We inspect commercial rooftop solar arrays with a visual and thermal drone. We look for hot cells, soiling, shading, and damaged modules. This is a first-pass inspection that the owner’s solar contractor can use to plan repairs or maintenance.
