Service brief

Purpose / audience / scope

The service at a glance.

01

What it is for

Roof thermal screening supports anomaly-focused review and follow-up planning. The service intentionally uses screening language, not definitive diagnostic language.

  • Thermal anomaly screening
  • Roof condition support imagery
  • Targeted follow-up documentation
  • Difficult-to-access roof areas
02

Who uses it

Best fit for commercial roofing workflows, property stakeholders, and teams evaluating follow-up inspection needs.

  • Commercial property owners
  • Property managers
  • Roofing companies
  • Facility teams
03

What is included

The scope is shaped around practical records, clear review needs, and the agreed deliverable package.

  • Condition review before capture
  • Paired thermal and visual roof imagery
  • Organized review files built for next-step conversations

Deliverables

Paired roof context for a careful screening conversation.

Visible and thermal references stay aligned so a qualified reviewer can locate apparent contrast without treating it as a diagnosis.

Service area

TwoBit Aerial is based in Bolivar, Missouri. Pricing includes travel for most jobs within 30-45 minutes of Bolivar, Missouri. Jobs farther out may include a travel charge based on distance, drive time, and scope.

  • Most straightforward local jobs fall inside the included travel range used by the published pricing.
  • Distance, drive time, and scope determine whether additional travel needs to be added.
  • Larger commercial, recurring, or multi-site scopes can still be priced cleanly without a rigid public fee table.

Pricing approach

Starting-at pricing works for smaller, well-defined roof screening scopes, while conditions and reporting requirements can change the final quote.

  • From $650; final quote depends on property, timing, travel, and deliverable expectations.

Roof thermal workflow

Good screening starts with timing, context, and restraint.

  1. 01Scope

    Confirm roof and weather fit

    Review roof type, recent weather, surface conditions, access, and the screening question before scheduling.

  2. 02Capture

    Capture paired RGB and thermal views

    Keep each thermal reference tied to a visible roof location, viewing angle, and site context.

  3. 03Review

    Review apparent contrast

    Select clear thermal patterns conservatively and retain the conditions and material limits around them.

  4. 04Deliver

    Deliver follow-up references

    Organize paired images and callouts for a roofing or building professional to review alongside other evidence.

Local. Professional. Claim-safe.

Apparent thermal contrast cannot prove moisture or cause.

TwoBit Aerial keeps public deliverables framed as documentation, screening, planning support, and reference material.

FAA Part 107

Commercial operations start from a Part 107 baseline.

Condition-dependent capture

Weather, timing, material, angle, distance, and load can change what thermal imagery shows.

Paired visual context

Thermal references stay connected to RGB views so a qualified reviewer can locate the visible target.

Screening, not diagnosis

Apparent temperature contrast cannot prove moisture, a leak, cause, internal condition, or repair need.

Scope-dependent quotes

Final pricing depends on site size, access, travel, timing, and requested deliverables.

FAQ

Common questions before quoting.

When is roof thermal screening useful?

It is useful when roof material, weather, time of day, and site conditions create meaningful thermal contrast for anomaly-focused review.

What deliverables come with roof thermal screening?

Deliverables can include thermal images, paired visual references, organized review files, and optional annotated anomaly callouts when requested.

Does roof thermal screening replace a roofer or building professional?

No. It supports follow-up review and documentation, but qualified roofing, building, or insurance professionals remain responsible for determinations and repair decisions.
