Complete Roof Inspection. Zero Tiles Touched. Full Written Report in 24 Hours.

The inspection is genuinely free. There is no catch, no hidden fee, and no obligation to use Stephens Roofing for any work it identifies. Bryan offers free inspections because he is confident the quality and honesty of what he delivers will earn your business if there is work to be done — and a homeowner who receives a genuinely useful free report becomes an advocate regardless. That is the business model. There is no catch.

Yes. The drone is flown at altitudes and angles chosen to capture complete coverage of every roof section — including valleys, penetrations, low-slope areas, and sections obscured from street view. Bryan has conducted hundreds of drone inspections on Arizona homes with systematic flight patterns for every common configuration in the Phoenix metro.

Complex configurations are where drone inspection has its greatest advantage. A human inspector on a steep or complex roof faces real safety risk and access limits. A drone has none of those constraints — it safely captures every section of a multi-level, multi-pitch system.

Thermal imaging doesn't literally see through tiles — it detects heat differentials at the surface that indicate conditions beneath. Wet or compromised underlayment retains and releases heat differently than healthy underlayment, producing surface temperature signatures a calibrated FLIR camera identifies precisely. This is the same principle used in commercial building-envelope diagnostics.

Significantly. Satellite imagery is low-resolution, infrequent, and analyzed remotely with no ability to zoom, reposition, or re-examine. Bryan's drone operates 10–30 feet above the roof, capturing 4K detail with the ability to hover and re-examine any area, plus FLIR thermal detection satellites lack. And the analysis is performed by Bryan personally — a HAAG Certified inspector with 30 years of experience. This is exactly why he left insurance: he watched carriers use inadequate satellite imagery to deny legitimate claims.

We tell you — clearly, specifically, and with photographic and thermal evidence. We explain what it means, how urgent it is, and your options, including what the insurance claim process looks like if the damage is storm-related. We never use findings to pressure you. We give you the information and let you decide on your own timeline.

Yes. The report is a comprehensive, professionally documented assessment providing objective third-party evidence of roof health. Many homeowners use it when listing (to give buyers documented confidence) or when purchasing (to verify the seller's representations). The engineering-grade standard makes it suitable for real estate attorney review.

The report documents your roof's condition on the day of inspection. Condition can change — particularly after storms or as seasonal thermal cycling accelerates deterioration. We generally recommend treating a report as current for up to 12 months absent significant weather events, and re-inspecting after any significant hail, wind, or monsoon event.

Yes. The drone and thermal methodology is directly applicable to commercial flat roofing — TPO, EPDM, PVC, foam — where thermal imaging is particularly effective at identifying membrane failures, moisture intrusion, and insulation compromise. Commercial scope and pricing are discussed project-by-project. Contact us directly for commercial inquiries.

Touchless drone inspections are available throughout Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Arcadia, Biltmore, North Phoenix, and surrounding Phoenix-metro communities. For properties outside this area, contact us — geographic flexibility is possible case-by-case, particularly for larger properties or commercial portfolios.
