01 / WHAT YOUR TEAM GETS
A useful starting point.
A focused set of observations.
Bring the imagery, the visible observations and the next questions into one report your team can review.
Look a little closer.
Enlarged views make visible patterns easier to discuss, with plain-language notes about what the photo shows.
Plan what to verify.
Use trade-focused questions to guide an on-site review before drawing conclusions or recommending work.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for East End roofing teams.
For roofing companies working in Montauk, East Hampton, Southampton and surrounding Long Island towns.
Storm response & repairs
Organize visible roof observations before an owner-authorized site visit. Images do not establish storm causation or damage.
Claims documentation support
Add a dated visual record to your team's documentation. Coverage decisions and on-site assessments stay with the appropriate professionals.
Maintenance & recurring work
Use mapped observations to plan drainage, roof-opening and routine surface checks across the properties you maintain.
02 / A REAL FIELD SAMPLE
One roof.
Three areas to review.
This independent Montauk sample uses two drone views of one property. The observations below show how imagery becomes a set of questions for a roofer.
HOW TO READ THE IMAGE
Locate. Observe.
Verify on site.
- A1–A3
- Apparent surface waterThree areas with a similar visible pattern. Priority depends on whether persistent water is verified.
- B
- Skylight surroundingsColor variation around roof openings to review more closely.
- C
- Straight roof bandA tonal change to identify; it may be a normal material or coating transition.
Color overlays locate features. The imagery alone does not establish a leak, damage or repair need.
Water and debris.
A dark, bounded area contains green and brown material.
What to verify
Recheck after a drying interval. Review drainage, outlets and the roof surface; the image does not establish depth or persistence.
Skylight surroundings.
Color variation appears around the skylights and nearby penetrations.
What to verify
Inspect flashing, the vent boot and the interior below. Color variation alone does not establish a leak.
A band to identify.
A straight tonal band follows the roof geometry.
What to verify
Identify the roof material and inspect its edges. The band may be a normal lap, coating or material change.
Independent field sample. Property addresses are withheld in public examples. Contractors verify conditions on site and establish whether a homeowner wants to discuss work.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
From an image
to a focused field check.
Two illustrative workflows based on this same Montauk sample. Each shows how a roofing team could use the report to plan a field check.
EXAMPLE 01 / MAINTENANCE PLANNING
Put drainage on the visit list.
The A1–A3 pattern gives a team three mapped locations to revisit after a drying interval. A roofer can check outlets and the surface, then decide whether any work is warranted.
The photo does not establish water depth, persistence or repair need.
EXAMPLE 02 / DOCUMENTATION
Keep the observation separate from the conclusion.
The skylight detail provides a dated reference for an owner-authorized site check. A roofer can compare the image with flashing, vent-boot and interior observations.
Color variation alone does not prove a leak, storm damage or an insurance claim.
03 / HOW A PILOT WORKS
Agree the scope.
Fly. Review the report.
Start with a focused pilot. We confirm the flight window and report delivery date before you book.
- 01 / BEFORE BOOKING
Agree scope & dates.
Choose the towns, roof types and questions. We agree access, imagery, report format, fee and the planned flight and delivery dates in writing.
- 02 / AGREED FLIGHT WINDOW
Capture the roof.
Fly in a suitable weather window, subject to airspace and site access. If conditions delay the flight, we reconfirm the schedule with you.
- 03 / AGREED DELIVERY DATE
Receive & review.
Receive the annotated PDF and supporting detail views on the agreed schedule after capture. Your team decides what needs an on-site check.
Timing depends on scope, weather, airspace and access. Your pilot has specific dates agreed before work starts.
BEFORE WE START
A few useful answers.
Is this a roof inspection?
The report documents what is visible in aerial images and suggests questions for a roofer. It does not replace an on-site inspection, establish a leak or provide a structural opinion.
Does a report mean the homeowner wants work?
No. Aerial imagery does not establish homeowner interest or a request for work. Reports help identify potential opportunities to review; your company verifies conditions and determines whether appropriate contact is useful.
What area can a pilot cover?
East End Air is based on the East End of Long Island. The towns, imagery availability and coverage are agreed for each pilot. The current public field sample comes from Montauk.
Are you certified and insured?
Yes. East End Air is FAA Part 107 certified and insured. Request certification and coverage details when we scope your pilot.
What if weather delays the flight?
We plan around suitable flying conditions and the required airspace and site access. If a flight is delayed, we agree a revised flight window and reconfirm report timing with you.
What if nothing notable is visible?
We document what is visible and the limits of the imagery. We do not add findings to fill a report. No notable visible cues does not establish that a roof is defect-free or replace an on-site inspection.
Can this determine an insurance claim?
No. A dated image record can support your team's documentation, but it does not establish storm causation, policy coverage or claim eligibility. Those questions require the appropriate professional review.
How are inquiry and property details handled?
Google Forms collects and stores your inquiry for East End Air. We use it to respond. Please do not include policy numbers or sensitive records. Before a pilot, we agree who receives the report and how property details may be used. Public samples withhold street addresses.
