Thermal image set
Selected thermal frames from the approved capture area, supplied in the agreed file format.
Thermal observations with visible roof context
Commercial Thermal Drone Roof Inspections in Florida
Give your roofing team organized thermal and visible roof imagery to focus closer investigation, explain observations and maintain a clear project record.
Deliverables
Find the right image. Understand the context.
The final coverage and file formats are agreed for your project.
Example report format using credited third-party imagery.
Visible image set
Companion RGB images that help reviewers understand roof features and the location of observations.
Observation index
When included in scope, a simple image index or marked reference can help connect files to roof sections.
Scope notes
The delivery can identify the flight date, covered area, agreed method, and important limitations observed during capture.
A thermal pattern alone does not prove moisture, damage, a leak location or its cause. Moisture verification, hands-on testing, core samples, repair decisions and professional conclusions remain with the qualified roofing or engineering professional.
Where it helps
Plan the capture around your work
Commercial roofers, roof consultants, facility teams, property managers and building owners.
Roof construction, shade, interior loading, recent rain, sun, wind and the capture window affect the usefulness of thermal roof imagery.
Work directly with Richard Hamilton. Share the roof plan, concern and intended reviewer. Richard coordinates the roof sections, timing, visible companion photos and file labels around your team’s needs.

Short explanations of the documentation approach. These are field lessons, not a completed inspection report.
Purpose-Driven Documentation for Better Business Decisions
Richard Hamilton explains why Sun State UAS starts with the decision, client communication need, and useful project record instead of flying only for impressive footage.
For roofing contractors and property teams, the flight plan should support a real review, a clearer customer conversation, and an organized record.
Watch on YouTubeThe Drone Is the Tool. The Record Is the Value.
Richard explains how contractors can use roof conditions, thermal observations, progress views, before-and-after imagery, and hard-to-reach angles to build a stronger project record.
Sun State UAS plans the roof mission around the proof, communication, and follow-up your contractor, property team, or qualified reviewer needs.
Watch on YouTubeAfter Bad Weather, Record Visible Conditions Early
Sun State UAS describes documenting visible roof and exterior conditions before cleanup or repairs change the scene, including affected areas, access, standing water, debris, and displaced materials.
Early documentation preserves a time-stamped visual record for follow-up. It does not determine cause, responsibility, coverage, or the repair needed.

Commercial Thermal Roof Inspections FAQs
What conditions are needed for a thermal roof flight?
Useful conditions depend on the roof assembly, recent weather, solar loading, wind, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and the purpose of the review. The flight window is confirmed after the site and roof information are checked.
Will a hot spot prove there is trapped moisture?
No. A temperature pattern can have several causes. A qualified professional should compare it with roof history, construction, visible conditions, and any required field testing.
Do you also capture normal roof photos?
Visible companion images can be included so the reviewer can connect thermal patterns with roof features and conditions. The exact coverage is listed in the scope.
Can you inspect several buildings at one property?
Yes, when the buildings, roof sections, access, capture plan, and deliverables are defined in the project scope.
