For decades, getting a roof inspection meant one thing: a contractor climbing a ladder and walking on your roof. That approach is not only risky for the inspector, it can also cause damage - especially on older or historic homes in Rhode Island towns like East Greenwich or Bristol.
At Mighty Dog Roofing of Rhode Island, we have modernized the process. Our Drone Super Scan combines drone imagery, AI-assisted analysis, and precise measurement tools so homeowners get clearer answers with less risk.
What is the Drone Super Scan?
Think of it as a non-invasive digital health check for your entire roofing system.
Instead of relying on a quick visual walk-through, we document the roof in high detail and provide a report you can actually understand.
What the Drone Super Scan includes
1) High-resolution imagery (4K detail)
Our drones capture high-resolution images of the roof surface from multiple angles - peaks, ridges, valleys, and transitions.
This helps identify issues like: - Cracked or missing shingles - Granule loss and wear patterns - Rusted or failing flashing - Exposed fasteners or lifted edges
2) AI-assisted analysis (less guesswork)
The imagery can be reviewed with software that helps flag patterns consistent with common damage types like wind-related lifting or impact marks.
Important: AI does not replace an experienced roofer. It helps us review the roof more consistently and reduces the chance of missing small details.
3) Precise measurements (for accurate estimates)
We can generate a roof measurement model so your estimate is based on real dimensions, not a guess.
That matters because accurate measurements help: - Reduce material waste - Improve estimate accuracy - Speed up the replacement process if you decide to move forward
4) The Mighty Pouch (your digital report)
You receive a digital report with photos, notes, and recommendations.
Homeowners use it to: - Track roof condition over time - Share documentation with insurance (when appropriate) - Make a confident repair vs replacement decision
Why Rhode Island homeowners prefer the drone scan
Safety first
No one needs to walk on your roof, which reduces liability and lowers the risk of accidental damage.
Ideal for historic and delicate roofs
Slate, cedar, and older roof systems can be fragile. Drone documentation is often the safest way to inspect without cracking tiles or disturbing aging materials.
Transparency
You see what we see. Clear photos reduce confusion and help homeowners feel confident that recommendations are based on evidence.

FAQ
How much does a drone roof inspection cost in RI?
At Mighty Dog Roofing of Rhode Island, the initial Drone Super Scan is typically provided as a complimentary inspection for homeowners who want to assess roof condition and understand next steps.
Is a drone inspection as accurate as a person walking the roof?
In many cases, it can be more informative because it captures high-resolution imagery and consistent documentation without risking damage from foot traffic. It can also produce precise measurements for estimating. Some conditions may still require an on-roof or attic inspection, depending on what we find.
