Outside the SFRA and building out fast, one roof at a time.
Stafford sits 31.5 NM from the DCA VOR/DME — outside the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area, so no SFRA procedures apply at the parcel level and night capture is available on parcels verified outside the boundary. We confirm the position first, then fly radiometric thermal and high-resolution visual capture across 100% of the surveyed surface.

- COUNTY
- Stafford County, VA
Stafford sits outside the DC SFRA at 31.5 NM from the DCA VOR/DME, so the standing UAS security NOTAM that governs our work closer to Washington does not reach this county. Outside the SFRA, night operations are lawful Part 107 flights with anti-collision lighting visible for at least three statute miles and a remote pilot current under the applicable training and testing requirement — no waiver required. Night scheduling applies to parcels verified outside the boundary, and the parcel check comes first. Controlled airspace around local airports still requires prior FAA authorization, so no date is promised before that authorization is in hand. The DC Flight Restricted Zone stays out of scope for our aerial work; we say so plainly.

What we inspect in Stafford.
Fast-growing planned residential and HOA communities
Attached and detached roofs across the county's planned communities, where new clusters come online every year. One set of conditions across the whole field, then findings ranked by building and section — the record a board needs to stage roof work across several budget years.
The I-95 commercial corridor
Retail, service, and mixed commercial roofs along the corridor, where a slow leak over a tenant space is noticed late and blamed early. Thermal and visual capture read every roof plane in a single pass, with the measurement attached to each finding.
Data-center and logistics development
Large low-slope assemblies and heat-rejection equipment on the county's newer industrial sites. Moisture trapped under an intact membrane and airflow losses at cooling equipment read as temperature signatures from the air — located by section before they become a budget event.
Office and flex buildings
Mid-rise and flex roofs with mechanical curbs, parapets, and wall-to-roof transitions where leaks actually start. Capture runs entirely from outside the building, so a working tenant floor is never disrupted to get the record.
Large-lot rural property
Dwelling roofs, barns, and outbuildings on acreage outside the growth corridor. Assemblies at this scale are faster to survey from the air than from a ladder, and the record stays consistent property to property.

We come back with the parcel's position relative to the SFRA boundary, the authorization picture, and whether night capture applies to it — before anyone talks about scheduling.
Stafford, answered.
Stafford is outside the DC SFRA — what does that change?
Three things. No SFRA procedures apply at the parcel level, night operations are lawful Part 107 flights on parcels verified outside the boundary, and the scheduling picture is wider because the UAS security NOTAM that shapes our work closer to Washington does not reach this county. Your parcel still gets its own check before we set a date.
Can you fly at night in Stafford?
On parcels verified outside the SFRA, yes — night operations are lawful Part 107 flights with anti-collision lighting visible for at least three statute miles and a remote pilot current under the applicable training and testing requirement. No waiver is required. Thermal contrast is strongest in the hours after sunset, which is when sub-surface moisture separates most cleanly from dry insulation. It applies parcel by parcel: the check comes first, and the SFRA boundary is the gate.
Can you keep watch on the property overnight?
No, and we are deliberate about that. Jinki flies scheduled inspection missions; your night coverage stays with your guards and cameras. What we add is a repeatable condition record — the same surfaces captured the same way — so change between missions is measurable rather than argued about.
We manage a community with several hundred roofs. Where do you start?
With the whole field in one set of conditions, so every roof is read the same way. Findings come back ranked by severity and grouped by building and section, which is what a board needs to sequence work across budget years instead of replacing whatever looked worst from the ground. Findings are scope for your own roofing contractors — Jinki performs no remediation.
What altitude will you fly over our property?
The ceiling your parcel's authorization allows, or Part 107's 400-foot limit, whichever is lower. No cell value was returned at the Stafford area, so there is no published grid ceiling to quote — altitude resolves through the authorization path. We pull your parcel's cell at the centroid and corners rather than quoting the county a single number.
Is there controlled airspace to worry about here?
Controlled airspace around local airports requires prior FAA authorization under Part 107, and that authorization is location-specific and time-limited. We confirm which path applies to your address, plan the profile inside what it allows, and we do not promise a date before the authorization is in hand.
Our roof has no safe access, and who acts on what you find?
No access is the standard case for us — capture runs entirely from outside the building, with no ladders, no penetrations, and no personnel on the membrane. Findings arrive as image pairs with the measurement attached, written as scope for your own contractor to price. Jinki inspects only and performs no remediation, so the report carries no conflict of interest. You get a mutual NDA by default, and we do not publish client sites, tenant names, or findings.
