See your roof from above

Most homeowners never see their own roof. We photograph every slope from above, mark what we find, and walk you through it on your phone or ours, so you decide based on proof, not a sales pitch.

Drone photo of the whole property during the roof replacement in Pearland, Texas, with blue synthetic underlayment covering the roof, garden beds in the backyard and the surrounding neighborhood. Aerial photos show the full scope of a roofing project at a glance and give homeowners a view of their roof they never get from the ground. Cloud IX uses drone photography on inspections and builds to document every slope.Pearland · Drone · Full property view mid-buildAerial view looking down the roofline: bare decking on one slope while the other is already dried in with underlayment. Tearing off and drying in a roof in stages means the home is never left fully exposed if weather moves in, a practical concern during Houston-area storm season. The drone shot also shows crew members working safely along the ridge.Pearland · Drone · Tear-off on one side, underlayment on the otherFrom the drone, the front gable and main roof of the Pearland home are wrapped in synthetic underlayment while the crew works along the ridge. Gables, valleys and the transitions between roof sections are where leaks most often start, so getting underlayment and flashing right in these areas is a key part of a quality roof replacement.Pearland · Drone · Underlayment and front gable from aboveOverhead drone photo with the underlayment fully installed and shingle bundles staged across the roof, ready for installation. Spreading bundles across the slopes before shingling keeps the crew moving efficiently and avoids overloading one area of the roof. Shots like this show the homeowner exactly where the project stands, even if they are at work during the build.Pearland · Drone · Underlayment down with shingle bundles stagedShingles going on, seen from the drone: new dark asphalt shingles cover most of the Pearland roof as the crew finishes the final sections near one end. Overhead photos let Cloud IX check shingle lines, coverage and cleanup from above before the final walkthrough with the homeowner.Pearland · Drone · Shingles going on, seen from aboveDrone inspection after a tornado in Cypress, Texas: strips and patches of blue synthetic underlayment cover every spot where the storm tore shingles off this single-story home. Patching each blown-off area individually seals the exposed decking quickly without disturbing the shingles that are still holding. Downed branches in the front yard and debris scattered across the open field behind the homes show the tornado's path through the neighborhood.Cypress · Tarp · Home 1: patched dry-in across the roofStraight-down drone view of the same home, showing how widely the tornado stripped shingles across the hips, ridges and both main slopes. Dozens of separate patches of underlayment, lapped and fastened, close up each opening around the chimney, vents and roof edges. An overhead shot like this maps every damaged area at once and becomes a clear record for the homeowner's insurance claim.Cypress · Tarp · Home 1: overhead view of the patchesDrone view from behind a second tornado-damaged home in Cypress, where wind took off so much of the roof that entire slopes had to be dried in with blue synthetic underlayment instead of spot patches. The open field and damaged trees behind the fence line show how exposed these homes were to the storm. A full-slope dry-in protects the attic and ceilings until the roof can be completely replaced through the insurance claim.Cypress · Tarp · Home 2: full slopes dried in from the backNight drone photo of a third Cypress home after the tornado, with underlayment patches sealing the damaged hip and ridge areas. Emergency tarping does not stop at sundown when rain is in the forecast, so the crew kept working into the night to make sure this family's roof was sealed before the next storm.Cypress · Tarp · Home 3: emergency dry-in finished after darkThe finished Tomball hail claim reroof seen from the drone: Class 3 impact-rated architectural shingles in a dark charcoal color cover the complex hip roof, with crisp ridge caps along every hip and clean lines through the valleys. Class 3 shingles are rated under the UL 2218 impact test to withstand a 1.75-inch steel ball dropped from height, a step up in hail resistance over standard shingles for Houston-area homes. The chimney, skylight, roof vents and the bronze standing-seam metal roof over the front porch are all tied in.Tomball · Complete · Finished Class 3 roof from aboveRear aerial view of the completed roof over the main house and the separate hip roof covering the outdoor living area beside the pool and spa. Complex roofs with many hips and valleys take more cutting, more ridge cap and more careful flashing work, and every one of those transitions is a place a lesser install can leak. The dark charcoal shingles give the brick home a sharp, uniform look from every side.Tomball · Complete · Rear view with the pool and outdoor living areaFront-corner aerial of the finished roof showing the dormer, the standing-seam metal porch roof, the attached garage wing and the driveway cleaned up after the job. A full reroof from the decking up with impact-rated shingles is a strong way to protect a home in hail country. In Texas, insurance premium discounts are usually tied to Class 4 shingles, so homeowners choosing between Class 3 and Class 4 should ask their agent what their policy rewards.Tomball · Complete · Front and garage side of the new roof
