Serving All of Maryland With Professional Integrity

Maryland Aerial Commercial Roof & Facility Inspections

Inspection drone flying over a commercial rooftop with RTU mechanical units at sunset

For roofing, construction, property management, solar, and infrastructure teams. Providing high-resolution 2D CAD mapping, radiometric thermal roof scans, 3D models for construction & complex roofs, and mechanical asset registers. Zero yard or facility disruption. Delivered in 24–48 hours.

Core B2B Deliverable Suite

Every Deliverable — One Flight Envelope

Every engagement is scoped around what facility managers, GCs, construction teams, and solar installers actually act on — mapped, measured, modeled, and ranked.

ORTHO

High-Resolution 2D Orthomosaics & CAD Envelopes

Sub-cm/px nadir mapping, GeoTIFF exports, and to-scale DXF/DWG overlays built for commercial roofers and general contractors.

What this means for you: An ultra-detailed, distortion-free aerial map of your roof, detailed enough to measure directly on screen — plus ready-to-use digital blueprints your contractor can import straight into their design software.

THERMAL

Radiometric Delta-T Thermal Moisture Surveys

Post-sunset infrared flights isolate subsurface insulation moisture pockets before they become interior leaks and structural claims.

What this means for you: Infrared imagery where every pixel is an exact temperature reading — letting us see water trapped inside your roof insulation that's completely invisible to the naked eye.

ASSETS

Rooftop Mechanical & Drainage Asset Registers

RTU inspections, flashing and parapet condition tagging, and drain/scupper ponding-water flow audits, logged and geo-tagged.

What this means for you: A GPS-mapped inventory of every HVAC unit, fan, and piece of equipment on your roof, with condition notes and ID tags, so your maintenance team always knows exactly what's up there.

REPORT

Executive Turnkey Defect Reports

A priority-ranked maintenance matrix — Critical, Maintenance Required, Monitored — formatted for insurance claims and reserve studies.

What this means for you: A prioritized punch-list of every leak, damaged unit, or trouble spot, pinned to a map so repair crews can walk straight to the problem.

3D MODEL

3D Photogrammetric Models for Construction & Complex Roofs

Multi-angle aerial capture reconstructed into a rotatable 3D model of the building, roof, or site — true geometry for multi-pitch roofs, parapets, and trade coordination.

What this means for you: A 3D model you can view from any angle, not just from above — makes complex roof pitches, additions, and site layouts far easier to plan around than a flat map alone.

SOLAR

Solar Pre-Install Drone Site Surveys

CAD-ready roof outlines, obstacle mapping, and orthomosaics for solar installation companies — delivered in 24 hours, no truck roll or ladder required.

What this means for you: We fly the pre-install site audit so your design team gets a CAD-ready roof outline and obstacle layout without sending a crew out with a ladder and tape measure.

Why The Maryland Drone Company

You're Already Budgeting for This. Most Facilities Just Don't Know That This Is Faster and More Cost-Effective

We're not introducing a new line item to your maintenance budget. We're replacing an outdated, friction-heavy process you're already paying for.

Manual Roof Walks & Core Cuts

Traditional consultants charge $8,000–$15,000+, send 2–4 people onto the roof, drill invasive core holes, and take 1–2 weeks to deliver a paper report.
100% envelope coverage in 1–2 hours with sub-centimeter radiometric thermal data. No holes drilled, delivered in 24–48 hours.

Broker / Gig Drone Platforms

National platforms dispatch low-cost hobbyist pilots who hand over hundreds of unorganized raw photos with no CAD vector lines or engineering summary.
Turnkey engineering deliverable: GeoTIFF maps, DXF/DWG vector plans, and a GPS-tagged defect matrix ready for immediate contractor bidding.

Reactive Leak Chasing

Property managers call a roofer only after water drips onto inventory inside the facility — triggering emergency repair markups.
Proactive Delta-T audits catch trapped insulation moisture months before it breaks through the interior ceiling.

Already Doing Roof Audits?

We provide higher-resolution radiometric thermal data and CAD-vector exports at a fraction of the turnaround time and cost of a ground crew — with zero yard or ladder liability.

Only Inspect When It Leaks?

Most 20-year manufacturer NDL warranties require documented periodic maintenance to stay valid. A 60-minute post-sunset scan pinpoints wet insulation before it spreads — often saving hundreds of thousands in premature roof replacement.

100 Miles From Baltimore

Fastest Along I-95, From the Delaware Memorial Bridge to the Capital Beltway

Our primary corridor runs the I-95 spine from the Delaware Memorial Bridge to the I-495 Capital Beltway, with a full 100-mile service radius around Baltimore beyond that.
