Discover What’s Above with Professional Drone Services
At M-C Inspections, we know that a home inspection is more than just a checklist — it’s your chance to fully understand a property before making important decisions. That’s why we offer professional drone services to take your inspection to the next level. With our FAA-certified drone pilot and advanced aerial technology, we can provide a bird’s-eye view of your home or commercial property that you simply can’t get from the ground. Our Drone Services are available only in San Luis Obispo County and surrounding areas.
Our drones fly high above your property, capturing high-resolution photos and video footage of your roof, chimney, and other hard-to-reach areas. Whether you're a homeowner, a real estate agent, or a property manager, this cutting-edge service offers powerful insights into your property's condition — and it’s all done safely and efficiently.
Climbing onto roofs can be risky and doesn’t always show the full picture. But with drones, we can view your entire roof system — even steep pitches or damaged areas — without stepping foot on a ladder. You get accurate, clear, and detailed visuals that help uncover issues early, saving you from unexpected costs later.

What Can a Drone Inspection Reveal?
Drones are especially helpful in identifying things you might not notice from ground level. These include:
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Worn-out flashing around chimneys or vents
- Standing water or roof sagging
- Tree damage or debris accumulation
- Leaky gutters or disconnected downspouts
- Chimney cracks or cap damage
In some cases, these problems can go unnoticed for years — until a small leak becomes a major repair. Our drone technology allows us to spot these early , so you can act before bigger issues arise.
We also use drones to assess multi-story buildings, steep roofs, or areas that are dangerous to access . With our professional equipment and skilled pilot, you get a full top-down view without any risk to your home, your safety, or ours.
Why Choose M-C Inspections for Your Drone Inspection Services?

We’re proud to offer a service that’s both innovative and responsible. When we inspect your home or building, we make sure it’s done right — from the ground up and the sky down.
We understand how important your property is. That’s why we take the time to explain our findings in simple, honest language. You don’t need to be a contractor or a roofing expert to understand the health of your home. We’ll show you exactly what we see, and what it means for your investment.
Our goal is to give you the tools and information you need to make smart, confident decisions — whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a property.
A Modern Solution for Today’s Homeowner
Drones are changing the way inspections are done — and for good reason. They’re faster, safer, and more effective at capturing hard-to-reach details. Traditional inspections alone can miss what’s on your roof, but drone services give you the full picture.
This is especially valuable in real estate. If you're selling your home, drone imagery can show off the roof’s condition to potential buyers and build trust. If you're buying, you’ll know exactly what you’re walking into. And if you're a property manager, regular drone inspections can help you stay on top of maintenance needs before they become costly emergencies.
At M-C Inspections, we use technology and experience to provide the most thorough and professional inspection services. Our Drone Services are available only in San Luis Obispo County and surrounding areas. With drone services as part of your inspection, you can be sure you're seeing every angle of your property — from the foundation to the rooftop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Can Drones Inspect on a Property?
Drones are primarily used to inspect hard-to-reach areas, especially roofs.
They can identify:
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Cracked or leaning chimneys
- Clogged or damaged gutters and downspouts
- Flashing issues around vents or skylights
- Standing water or sagging areas on flat roofs
- Tree branches encroaching on the roof
This approach is safer and more efficient than traditional methods, especially for steep or multi-story roofs.
Do Drone Inspections Replace Traditional Inspections?
No. Drones are a valuable tool that complements traditional inspections.
While they provide detailed aerial views of roofs and upper structures,
inspectors still need to assess other aspects of the property, such as the
foundation, plumbing, and electrical systems, through conventional methods.
Do Drone Operators Need to Be Certified?
Yes. In the U.S., anyone operating a drone for commercial purposes,
including property inspections, must hold a
Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate
from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This certification ensures
that the operator understands airspace regulations, weather considerations,
and safety protocols.
How Long Does a Drone Inspection Take?
The duration of a drone inspection can vary based on the property's size
and complexity. Typically, the flight itself takes about 15-30 minutes.
However, processing and analyzing the data to produce a comprehensive
report may take several hours to a few days, depending on the services
requested.
Are There Any Limitations or Risks with Drone Inspections?
Yes. Some considerations include:
- Weather conditions: High winds, rain, or snow can impede drone flights.
- Airspace restrictions: Certain areas may require special permissions or waivers.
- Privacy concerns: Homeowners may have reservations about aerial surveillance
It's essential to work with certified professionals who understand and adhere to all regulations and address any homeowner concerns.
What Deliverables Can I Expect from a Drone Inspection?
After the inspection, clients typically receive:
- High-resolution images and videos of the inspected areas
- Annotated reports highlighting any issues or areas of concern
- 3D models or maps, if requested.
These deliverables provide a clear understanding of the property's condition, aiding in decision-making processes.
