Drone Services for Documenting Property Damage
When unexpected property changes occur—whether from tree trimming, roadwork, driveway damage, or storms, having clear documentation is key. Drone services, including aerial photography, video footage, and mapping, offer homeowners a detailed way to record these changes for insurance purposes, dispute resolution, or future repairs.

Here are common scenarios where drone services can help:
Tree Trimming and Landscaping Overreach
Tree trimming crews or landscapers may sometimes cut back more than anticipated, leading to disputes over the extent of the work or potential property damage. Drone photography provides an aerial perspective that captures detailed “after” shots, showing the exact modifications made to trees and landscaping. By comparing these drone images with pre-damage satellite imagery, homeowners can clearly demonstrate the overreach and use the visual documentation for corrective action or insurance purposes.
If you’re dealing with a similar issue, check out our PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES for accurate documentation. Additionally, consider referring to industry reports on the impact of landscaping modifications on property values for further insight.
Roadwork and Construction Damage
Roadwork or nearby construction often results in unintended damage to private property, affecting driveways, sidewalks, or even landscaping. Drone services are ideal for capturing high-resolution aerial images and videos, which provide a detailed overview of the damage that may not be visible from ground level.
These images can be crucial when negotiating repairs or seeking compensation for property damage caused by construction activities. For fast, reliable aerial photography of roadwork-related property damage, explore our VIDEO SERVICES.

Driveway Damage
Heavy equipment from construction projects, delivery trucks, or utility repairs can sometimes crack or damage driveways, leaving homeowners with repair costs. Drone photography offers a unique top-down perspective that captures the full extent of driveway damage, providing clear visual evidence that ground-level images often fail to capture.
This aerial documentation can be vital when presenting your case for repairs or compensation. To learn more about how we can help document driveway damage, visit our AERIAL INSPECTIONS page.
HOA Modifications Without Notification
Homeowners sometimes face unexpected modifications from HOAs, such as the removal of trees, landscaping, or other property changes. Drone services can document these changes through aerial photography and video, providing clear evidence of the property before and after the alterations. Satellite imagery can provide a helpful baseline, allowing for accurate comparisons. To protect your property rights, explore our PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES that capture changes from above.
Roof and Structure Damage
Drones are especially useful for inspecting hard-to-reach areas like roofs, where damage may go unnoticed from ground level. Whether it’s from tree branches, nearby work, or weather-related incidents, drones can quickly capture high-resolution photos or videos of the roof and other structures for insurance claims or repair estimates. For thorough inspections, consider our AERIAL INSPECTION SERVICES and ROOFING SERVICES that detail property conditions from multiple angles, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Storm Damage Documentation
After a storm, it’s essential to document any property damage for insurance purposes. Drone services provide fast, comprehensive aerial documentation of storm damage, including roofs, fences, and other outdoor structures. Please note: We do not evaluate or assess the extent of the damage. Our role is solely to document the condition of the property for insurance or repair needs.

Before-and-After Comparisons Using Satellite Imagery
In many situations, satellite imagery can serve as a baseline for showing a property’s condition before any changes or damage occurred. When combined with fresh drone footage or photography, it’s easy to create before-and-after comparisons that highlight the extent of tree trimming, roadwork damage, or any other alterations. This combination is a powerful tool for resolving disputes or justifying repair costs.
