Getting Started with Drones: Adding an Aerial Perspective to Your Inspection Business

Getting Started with Drones: Adding an Aerial Perspective to Your Inspection Business

Speaker: Ian Wills, President, Coastal Drone Co.

Drones are rapidly changing how home inspectors assess roofs, chimneys, towers, and other hard-to-reach areas. But what does it really take to add drone technology to your inspection operations?
In this introductory webinar, we’ll explore the basics of using drones in home inspections—from equipment and setup to operational considerations, limitations, and compliance. Learn when an aerial perspective can enhance safety, improve documentation, and add value for clients, and when it may not be appropriate. We’ll also discuss common pitfalls, liability considerations, and best practices to ensure drone use supports—not complicates—your inspection workflow.
Whether you’re drone-curious or actively considering integrating drones into your services, this session will give you the foundational knowledge to make informed, responsible decisions before taking to the skies.
