Before & After Drone Documentation

Two flights, one side-by-side record — dated, geotagged aerial proof of what changed. Contractors use it to get paid without disputes; owners use it as a pre-storm baseline that makes future claims clean.

Two-Flight Package

Proof beats memory — and it beats disputes

A before/after package pairs a baseline flight with a completion (or post-event) flight, matched shot-for-shot and delivered as a side-by-side PDF. Roofers and restoration contractors close out jobs with visual proof of scope completed; property owners document conditions before storm season or before a neighbor’s construction project starts.

  • Matched captures: the second flight repeats the first flight’s angles for true side-by-side comparison
  • Dated & geotagged: every image timestamped at capture — a defensible record of when conditions existed
  • Contractor close-out: scope-completed proof for final invoices, warranties, and lien protection
  • Pre-storm baselines: document good condition now so post-storm damage is undeniable later

FAQs

Questions Clients Ask

When should the second flight happen?

Whenever the change is complete — project close-out, post-storm, or seasonally. The two flights can be days or months apart; MW AIRLIFT™ stores the baseline so the comparison is ready when you are.

Who uses before/after documentation?

Roofing and restoration contractors (scope proof for payment), solar installers (pre/post array condition), property managers (turnover records), and homeowners establishing a pre-storm-season baseline.

How much does before/after documentation cost?

Before/after packages range from $300 to $500 covering both flights and the side-by-side PDF. A visual stitched aerial map (not survey-grade) can be added (+$150–$300); measured deliverables are offered only where permitted by state surveying law (pending legal clearance in NC, GS 89C).

Is one before/after package usable in an insurance claim?

Yes — a dated pre-event baseline paired with post-event imagery is among the strongest visual evidence a claim can carry. For active claims, see our insurance support package, which formats everything adjuster-ready.
