No ladders. No scaffolding. No blind spots.
Aerial inspection for commercial roofs, building exteriors, and sites — radiometric thermal and high-resolution visual capture in a single mission. Findings are geolocated, measured, and severity-ranked in a report targeted within 48 hours. One-time, or scheduled as a program. Northern Virginia — Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince William — and the wider DC metro.

What you receive.
Executive Summary
Total findings by severity, the areas at highest risk, and a recommended order of action for budget or ownership review.
Severity-Ranked Findings
Every finding geolocated on the structure with photographs and a severity rating, so priorities are unambiguous. Thermal findings carry measured ΔT values.
Thermal + Visual Record
Wet insulation and failing connections read as ΔT patterns in thermal; surface damage reads in the high-resolution visual set. Together they separate cosmetic wear from developing problems.
Repair Scope Input
Findings arrive as scope for your own contractor — locations, extents, and priorities, each with the imagery behind it. Jinki performs no repairs, so the report carries no conflict of interest.
Condition of Record
Date-stamped, geolocated documentation for insurance conversations, capital planning, and maintenance files — a measured baseline to compare against the next cycle.
Recurring Option
When a single pass is not enough, the same routes run on schedule — re-scans build a condition of record that tracks change over time instead of a snapshot.
How the engagement runs.
- 01 · T+0
Scoping Call
We learn the property — what needs inspecting, known problem spots, and who will act on the findings.
- 02 · WK 1
Airspace and Flight Planning
Every engagement starts with an airspace review — SFRA position, grid ceiling, and the authorization path for the parcel — plus mission design for the structures on site.
- 03 · DAY 1
Capture
Thermal and high-resolution visual data across the target surfaces — typically a single day, with no personnel on the roof.
- 04 · HR 48
Report Delivered
Severity-ranked findings with ΔT measurements, locations, and photographs, targeted within 48 hours of capture. Not a raw imagery dump.
- 05 · WK 2-3
Review and Handoff
We walk the findings through with you and your contractor so every item becomes a clear line in a scope of work.
Start small. Scale on evidence.
No engagement asks for trust we haven't earned yet — each rung produces the proof the next one stands on. The first scan is your baseline; the program turns it into a condition-of-record that tracks degradation velocity over time.
One mission as part of the founding cohort. Full facility pass, severity-ranked report on a 48-hour target. Zero integration required.
Persistent coverage on one site for one quarter — baselines, alert verification, and the trend line that makes the case.
Standing coverage with degradation-velocity tracking and founder-direct reporting, priced on scope.
The first mission tells you what the program should be.
Start with the roof you already worry about; we will scope the flight and the report it produces.
Asked before engaging.
What can a drone inspection cover?
Commercial and community roofs (membrane, insulation, drainage, and the details where water starts), building exteriors and facades, sites and laydown areas, electrical infrastructure read in thermal (switchgear, transformers, connections), and cooling towers and rooftop mechanical. If it needs eyes in a place people should not stand, it is in scope.
How is a drone inspection different from a manual inspection?
Coverage and method. A single mission surveys 100% of the target surface instead of a sample, nobody walks the membrane or climbs the facade, and thermal findings come back as measured ΔT signatures rather than impressions. Your contractor still performs any physical confirmation — at the locations the report names.
Who flies, and what is flown?
Every flight is remotely piloted by a certificated remote pilot under FAA Part 107, with $5M in liability coverage per operation. The aircraft carry radiometric thermal and high-resolution visual sensors.
Can you fly in Northern Virginia restricted airspace?
Every engagement starts with a per-parcel airspace check — SFRA position, grid ceiling, and the authorization path the FAA requires for that location. Most of the region flies under standard Part 107 or LAANC; DC SFRA sites are served under FAA authorization, and the DC FRZ is out of scope for aerial work.
How fast is turnaround?
On-site capture is typically a single day, and the severity-ranked findings report is targeted within 48 hours of capture. Full engagements — scoping through handoff — typically run two to three weeks.
How does pricing work?
Priced on scope: area, complexity, number of structures, and deliverable depth. There is no public price list; the field note on what drives drone roof inspection cost shows how to compare quotes line by line.
Do you do this for one rooftop or whole portfolios?
Both. Most engagements start with the property you already worry about, then extend to a scheduled program across sites once the first report has proven the method.
