Roof-Leak Drone Surveys 🚁
Provide leads by flying a drone over storm-damaged or aging rooftops in suburban areas, shooting a quick video.
💡 Concept
You fly a drone over storm-damaged or aging rooftops in suburban areas, shoot a quick video with thermal or close-up footage, and hand leads (with homeowner permission) to roofing companies.
🧰 Micro-Capex Stack
- $500 for a mini drone with 4K camera
- Google Sheets for lead handoff
- Optional: thermal overlay tools or drone case
⚡ 48-Hour Validation
- Fly one neighborhood, document 3–5 bad roofs
- Offer videos to homeowners in exchange for consent to forward to a local roofer
- Deliver leads to 2–3 roofers for free → ask for pay-per-lead trial
📦 Service Flow
- Drone flyover > damage detection > text homeowner + pitch roofer
- Roofers pay $40–$100 per high-intent lead
- You offer weekly updates, storm maps, or “heat zones”
🚀 Scale Plays
- Run post-storm campaigns
- Sell data to insurance adjusters or property flippers
- Offer exclusive ZIP code coverage for monthly fee
⚠️ Pitfalls to Dodge
- Legal drone restrictions—follow FAA/local laws
- Always get homeowner consent before selling contact info
