- Defect map + report
Roofs, towers, solar arrays, facades, and 3D site surveys — flown under Transport Canada Advanced certification and delivered as a report you can hand to your insurer, contractor, or client. Hamilton and the GTA.
Inspection and survey. Each delivered with raw imagery, annotated findings, and a written summary.
Residential shingle, commercial flat, and industrial roofing. Pre-purchase, post-storm, pre-warranty.
Telecom monopoles, broadcast towers, met masts, amateur antenna installs. Sheltered operations up to 200 ft horizontal.
Residential and commercial arrays. Thermal panel diagnostics catch underperforming cells and connection faults invisible to visual scan.
High-rise cladding, industrial siding, masonry. Closer than rope access, faster than scaffolding.
3D mapping, orthomosaics, and volumetric measurement of job sites, quarries, and aggregate yards. Cut weeks off project monitoring.
Live pricing. Final quote confirmed within one business day of your request.
Submit your site, what you're checking for, and a target date. Photos welcome.
Firm price back within one business day, with the flight plan and deliverable scope confirmed.
On-site capture, typically 30–90 minutes. Pre-flight airspace authorization handled by us.
Annotated imagery and findings delivered as a shareable PDF within 24–72 hours.
Real reports, real sites. We'll add new testimonials here as they come in — early clients welcome.
Apex turned around a full thermal scan of our flat roof in under 48 hours. The annotated PDF made the insurance claim a one-call conversation.
Cleaner imagery than the rope-access quote we passed on, and a fraction of the disruption to tenants. We'll be using them for the rest of our portfolio.
The stockpile volumetrics came back the day after the flight, and the numbers reconciled within 2% of our last conventional survey. Sold.
Most answers land here. Anything else — drop it in the quote form notes and we'll cover it in the reply.
Most residential roof inspections fall between $300–$600. Commercial roofs, towers, and high-rise facades scale with size and complexity, typically $800–$3,000. Large 3D site surveys and utility-scale solar are custom-quoted.
Use the estimator above for a live range, or send a brief and we'll come back with a firm number within one business day.
Standard turnaround is on-site within 3–5 business days of booking, with the report delivered 24–72 hours after the flight. Rush (48-hour) service is available as a paid add-on when scheduling allows.
Yes. Apex holds a Transport Canada RPAS Advanced operations certificate, which is required for most commercial drone work in Canadian airspace, including controlled zones and operations near people. We carry $2M commercial drone liability insurance and can name your project or property on a certificate of insurance on request.
Every job ships with full-resolution raw imagery, an annotated PDF summary identifying observations and any defects, and the metadata file for the flight. Survey jobs add orthomosaics, digital elevation models, point clouds (.las/.laz), and volumetric measurements as ordered.
Files are delivered via a private download link, valid for 90 days.
Hamilton and the broader Greater Toronto Area are our core service zones: Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Durham, plus the Niagara region and Kitchener/Waterloo. Travel outside this radius is quoted case-by-case — send us a brief and we'll let you know.
Drones don't fly safely or capture clean imagery in heavy rain, snow, or sustained winds above about 35 km/h. If conditions on your scheduled day are below spec, we'll reach out the morning of and re-book to the next available slot at no charge.
Not usually. For most exterior roof, tower, solar, and survey work we just need site access, any gate codes, and a contact number. For occupied buildings or active job sites, we'll coordinate timing in advance to minimize disruption.
Yes. The annotated PDF is built to be forwarded directly to insurers, adjusters, contractors, or warranty providers. We document conditions factually with date-stamped, geotagged imagery — we don't diagnose or assign cause, which keeps the report credible as third-party evidence.
One business day response. No obligation. No automated follow-up.
You'll hear back within one business day with a firm quote and flight plan.
