About Blue Falcon Aerial
Precision. Ethics. Innovation.
At Blue Falcon Aerial, we are more than a drone company—we are the premier aerial data provider for the roofing and solar industries. As a veteran-owned and operated business, we deliver high-fidelity, manually flown drone inspections that provide exceptionally detailed, verifiable, and actionable data.
Unlike generalist drone service providers, we focus exclusively on roofing, solar, and insurance, refining our technology and processes to meet the unique demands of these industries.
Our Mission
Our mission is to redefine roofing and solar inspections through state-of-the-art aerial data collection, ensuring that our clients receive unmatched precision, transparency, and efficiency in every inspection.
We believe that accurate, ethically sourced data is the foundation of better decision-making, whether it’s for storm damage assessments, insurance claims, or solar installations.
Why We Stand Out
Exclusive Industry Focus
We only serve roofing, solar, and insurance companies, refining our services for maximum impact and value.
Enterprise-Level Customization
We develop tailored aerial data solutions for high-value clients, integrating seamlessly into their workflows.
Superior Data Precision
Our pilots manually fly drones within 3 feet of the roof, capturing high-resolution imagery that far surpasses satellite and airplane-based solutions.
Ethical Data Use
We ensure that all drone-collected data is ethically sourced, never manipulated, and always used to educate homeowners rather than exploit them.
Operational Excellence & Nationwide Reach
We maintain a large network of highly trained, licensed drone pilots, ensuring rapid, high-quality inspections anywhere in the U.S.
What We Do
High-Resolution Roof Documentation
Providing insurance-ready, verifiable roof data to improve claims accuracy and reduce disputes.
Rapid Storm Damage Assessments
Quickly verifying hail and wind damage to help prioritize inspections and accelerate insurance claims processing.
Drone-Based Roof Measurements
Delivering more precise measurements than satellite-based tools for accurate repair and replacement estimates.
Solar Site Assessments
Conducting roof structural evaluations and solar irradiance viewsheds to ensure optimal solar panel placement.
Thermal Imaging for Leak Detection
Using advanced thermal cameras to identify insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, and hidden damage.
3D Roof Modeling & Structural Analysis
Capturing comprehensive roof data to support roofers, solar installers, and insurance professionals.
Industry Leadership & Commitment to Innovation
We manage the state-of-the-art drone program at Francis Tuttle Institute of Technology in Oklahoma City, where we train the next generation of drone professionals in UAV imaging, thermal analysis, and structural assessments.
As educators and industry leaders, we stay at the forefront of technological advancements, ensuring that our clients receive the highest-quality aerial data available.
