Choose the job your team needs done

Each service page explains the purpose, capture plan, deliverables, conditions, limitations, and information needed for a quote.

01

Commercial Thermal Roof Inspections

Document thermal anomalies across accessible commercial roof areas and pair them with visible context. The imagery can help a qualified roofing professional focus moisture verification and closer testing without claiming an aerial diagnosis.

See service details →
02

Commercial HVAC & Rooftop Inspections

Give HVAC contractors and facility teams current thermal patterns and high-resolution exterior views of accessible rooftop units and surrounding roof areas. This is aerial documentation for closer review—not a complete HVAC diagnosis or repair service.

03

Drone Construction Progress Monitoring

Give owners, contractors, and remote stakeholders a consistent visual record of what changed on the jobsite through scheduled drone progress photography, repeat viewpoints, and organized delivery.

04

Solar Panel Thermal Inspections

Organize thermal abnormalities, potential hotspots, and visible context across accessible solar arrays so a qualified solar or electrical professional can prioritize closer review.

See service details →
05

Infrastructure Inspections

Capture selected structures and components from useful aerial viewpoints while respecting site control, access, airspace, operating limits, and the asset owner’s safety process.

06

Aerial Photography & Cinematic Drone Video

Show the size, setting, movement, and story of your property, project, or brand with carefully planned aerial photography and cinematic drone video.

A useful project starts before takeoff

Start with the decision, then build the flight

A useful drone project starts with a clear question. A commercial roofer may need thermal anomalies documented before closer testing. An HVAC contractor may need current views of rooftop units and the surrounding roof. A construction team may need the same jobsite viewpoints captured every month. A solar company may need visible and thermal observations organized by array or work area.

Sun State UAS plans the capture around that question. We review the exact address or map pin, safe access, airspace, weather, obstructions, active operations, privacy, the requested deliverables, and the people who will use them. The result is a defined scope that both sides can approve before the flight.

Sun State UAS plans commercial drone projects across Florida from West Palm Beach, including Saint Petersburg (St. Petersburg), Pinellas County and Tampa Bay, plus South Florida and the Treasure Coast. South Florida inquiries include Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties; Treasure Coast inquiries include Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. Send the exact site so we can confirm access, airspace, conditions, scheduling and travel in your project quote.

A Commercial Drone Partner Who Plans Around Your Team

Richard Hamilton works directly with roofers, HVAC contractors, solar teams, builders, property managers, and owners to turn a business question into a practical aerial capture plan. The scope, timing, viewpoints, file labels, and delivery are built around the people who will use the information.

Built for the people using the files

Commercial imagery for real workflows

Tell us who will review the output and what action follows. That decision shapes the shot list and delivery.

Property and facility teams

Document roofs, exterior conditions, hard-to-reach areas, capital work, storm follow-up, or recurring property changes.

Construction teams

Create a consistent visual record for owners, contractors, remote stakeholders, scheduling conversations, and project closeout.

Roofing and building professionals

Pair thermal and visible aerial observations with field knowledge and any hands-on investigation the job requires.

Solar and energy teams

Organize visible and thermal observations so qualified technicians can prioritize areas for closer review.

Asset and infrastructure owners

Plan repeatable visual documentation for selected structures, corridors, components, and access-constrained areas.

Marketing and ownership groups

Request current, site-specific aerial views when they support leasing, planning, reporting, or stakeholder updates.

Scope before scheduling

What a clear project plan should establish

A written capture scope

Know which areas, angles, sensors, timing, and outputs are included before the site visit.

Organized files

Receive the agreed imagery grouped and named for the people who need to review it.

Repeatable viewpoints

When recurring work is in scope, use a defined shot list and route plan to improve period-to-period comparison.

Clear limitations

Weather, roof materials, tree cover, access, heat, glare, airspace, and other constraints are addressed before useful conclusions are expected.

Simple project path

From map pin to organized delivery

No flight is reserved by a form submission. Scope, conditions, quote, and scheduling must be confirmed.

Step 1

Share the site

Send the exact address or map pin, site contact, service needed, target date, and any access rules.

Step 2

Confirm the scope

We review the site, flight constraints, capture plan, deliverables, timing, and quote before scheduling.

Step 3

Coordinate the visit

The site contact confirms access, safety requirements, active work zones, and the best window for useful data.

Step 4

Capture and deliver

We complete the agreed flight when conditions allow, organize the approved outputs, and send them through the agreed delivery method.

Questions before scheduling

Commercial Drone Services FAQs

These answers are visible on the page and match the structured data.

Do you provide commercial drone services in Saint Petersburg and South Florida?

Sun State UAS LLC accepts commercial drone project inquiries in Saint Petersburg (St. Petersburg), Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area, as well as Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Treasure Coast locations. Services include thermal roof and rooftop HVAC imaging, solar panel thermal inspections, construction progress monitoring, infrastructure documentation, and aerial photography and video. Send the exact site, service, target date and deliverables so we can confirm scope, flight conditions, travel and scheduling.

What should I send for a project review?

Send the exact site address or map pin, service needed, business goal, target date, site contact, access rules, and the deliverables your team expects.

Do you publish fixed commercial pricing?

No. Commercial scope can change with site size, travel, access, sensors, repeat visits, processing, deliverables, and scheduling. We review the mission before providing a quote.

Can you fly at every South Florida property?

No. The exact address, airspace, people, access, weather, obstructions, privacy, and current operating conditions must be reviewed first.

Are drone observations a replacement for an engineer, roofer, electrician, or surveyor?

No. Drone imagery documents visible or thermal conditions from the agreed viewpoint. Qualified professionals make diagnoses, code decisions, engineering conclusions, repairs, and any required survey determinations.

Can you return to the same site on a schedule?

Recurring capture can be scoped when repeat timing, site access, viewpoints, deliverables, and weather alternatives are agreed in advance.

Request a project review

Send the site. Tell us the decision.

Use the form for the exact location, inspection type, property, timeline, and contact details. Add the asset, expected deliverables, access rules, and the decision your team needs the imagery to support.

Submitting the form starts a review. It does not reserve a flight, confirm site suitability, or promise a result. Commercial pricing is prepared after the scope is reviewed.
