It allows autonomous data capture of a residential roof with precision and completeness, providing unequaled image clarity and property intelligence. Together, EagleView and Skydio provide a complete drone inspection solution for residential properties that creates a facet-by-facet flight plan and autonomously flies the inspection for consistent, comprehensive image capture for virtual property assessments.”

The CEO of EagleView, Chris Jurasek, has stated that the image quality provided by Skydio is 16 times clearer than satellite images. Additionally, he stated that with Skydio’s drones, you can not just spot a dime on a roof but also Franklin D. Roosevelt’s face stamped on it.

Lowering Costs & Increasing Efficiency

In the U.S, the average cost of a property inspection can range from $300 to $500. Adding on to that, manual inspection is time-consuming and may sometimes miss out on minute details. Moreover, this initiative will not just lower the costs but also lower the time taken, capture highly detailed data, and automate the process.

“We are excited to partner with EagleView to revolutionize the residential roof inspection market through the power of autonomous drones and AI,” said Adam Bry, CEO of Skydio.  “Together with EagleView, we provide insurance carriers, claims adjusters, construction companies, and government bodies with a first-of-its-kind integrated solution that automates the entire inspection process. Thanks to the unique flight autonomy capabilities of Skydio drones, we are able to enhance virtual property inspections, delivering exceptional accuracy, consistency, and image quality.”
