What we do

One flight. Three ways to put it to work.

Most jobs combine more than one. Tell us the question you need answered, and we'll plan the flight around it.

Inspect

Find moisture, heat loss, and damage without walking every square foot of roof.

Map

True-to-scale visible and thermal maps you can zoom, measure, mark up, and share.

Document

A clear visual record from groundbreaking to closeout — outside and inside the building.

AtEase™ Deliverables

Not a folder of photos. A page your whole team can use.

Every project lands on its own private page — built so an owner, a superintendent, and an adjuster can all understand it in two minutes.

  • Interactive visible + thermal maps — swipe, side-by-side, or blend
  • Findings pinned on the map and tied to the written report
  • Plain-language reports with recommended next steps
  • Photos, video, 360° tours, and files in one place
  • Works great on a phone — show it on the roof or in the meeting

How it works

From first call to finished report.

Tell us what you need to know

A leak you can't find, a roof you're bidding, a site you need to track. We scope the flight around the question.

We plan and fly

Part 107 certified and insured. We coordinate airspace, site access, and timing — thermal flights are scheduled for the right conditions.

We process and analyze

Visible and thermal maps are built and aligned. Findings are located, numbered, rated, and explained.

You get your AtEase page

Maps, report, photos, and files on one private link — ready to share with owners, adjusters, or your crew.

Who we work with

Built for the people responsible for the building.

Roofing contractors

Win bids with proof, document existing conditions, and verify repairs.

Facility managers & owners

Baseline your roofs, track conditions year over year, and plan capital spending with data.

Contractors & builders

Progress records owners trust, fewer site walks, and clean documentation for closeout.

Solar installers & O&M

Find underperforming modules fast, document installs, and support warranty claims.

Why Precision Aerial Optics

Built by a facility manager, not just a drone pilot.

"I manage large commercial facilities full time — roofs, HVAC, contractors, and capital plans. I started Precision Aerial Optics because I kept seeing big building decisions made on incomplete, hard-to-use information. Every flight we fly is planned around the decision you need to make."
