Roof-condition imagery and reporting for commercial facilities, coordinated with flight feasibility, site safety, roof access, and the property decision.

Commercial roofing service
An aerial roof inspection can show the condition of large or hard-to-reach commercial roof areas without first walking every section. Total Cladding and Roofing uses aerial observations to help owners in San Antonio understand visible roof damage and decide where a closer inspection is needed.
Drone images are useful evidence, but a photograph cannot confirm every seam, concealed fixing or wet layer beneath a roof.

High-level images can locate missing or displaced panels, damaged rooflights, debris, blocked gutters and visible deterioration. An overview also helps relate a reported leak to roof openings and drainage. The useful result is a set of identifiable roof locations, not just a collection of unlabelled photographs.
Small seam openings, loose connections and moisture below the surface may not be visible from the air. A drone survey cannot establish structural capacity or prove that a roof is watertight. Where an image shows a concern, hands-on inspection or a specific test may be the next step.
Weather, airspace, neighboring buildings and site activity affect whether and when a flight can take place. People, vehicles and restricted areas need to be considered before the survey. Send the exact address and any site restrictions so flight feasibility can be checked for that location.
Use an overview to locate damage across several roof areas before arranging detailed access to selected locations.
Record displaced materials, debris and damaged openings once conditions permit inspection. Images describe observed conditions; they do not determine insurance coverage.
Review upper roofs and elevations where normal access is limited, then identify what cannot be resolved remotely.
Compare identifiable roof areas over time to track visible changes and plan closer inspection or cleaning.
An image becomes more useful when you know which roof area it shows, what the concern is and what needs checking next. We discuss whether the purpose is leak investigation, repair planning, a storm record or a general condition overview before deciding how the survey will be used.
A temperature difference is not, by itself, proof of trapped moisture. Roof construction, weather and surface materials can affect an image. If thermal investigation is proposed, the method and any follow-up checks need to suit the roof and the question being investigated.
Roof size, height, number of separate buildings, flight restrictions and the reporting required affect the work. A simple photographic overview is different from a survey combined with roof access, measurements or leak investigation. Tell us what decision the report needs to support.
Visible concerns may lead to gutter cleaning, a local repair or a closer review of a particular opening or roof area. If water is already entering the building, tell us at the outset; aerial photography alone is not a repair or temporary protection service.
Talk to our team
Contact TCR with the address, number of buildings and reason for the survey. Include existing leak locations or previous inspection reports if available so the inspection can focus on the areas that matter.
Frequently asked questions
It can record visible damage, displaced materials, debris, drainage concerns and the layout of roof areas and openings.
No. Small defects and concealed conditions may not be visible. Findings can identify where closer inspection is needed.
Not in every case. The inspection method depends on the question; some seams, connections and material conditions require direct access.
Flight feasibility depends on the address, airspace, weather and site activity. Restrictions are checked before a flight is confirmed.
Wind, rain and visibility can limit flight or image quality. A survey may need to be rescheduled for suitable conditions.
A temperature difference alone is not proof of moisture. Construction and weather affect results, and findings may need confirmation by another method.
They can record visible conditions once access and flight conditions permit. They do not determine insurance coverage or authorize repairs.
Yes, subject to access and flight feasibility. Identify all buildings and the purpose of the survey when requesting a price.
Roof size, number of buildings, restrictions and the reporting or additional inspection required affect the work.
The findings may lead to targeted roof access, testing, drainage work or repairs. The next step depends on the observed defect.
Our business grew through roof and cladding refurbishment in the UK. That experience shapes the work we now offer from our Texas office.
We investigate the roof problem and explain what can be repaired, restored or replaced, so you can decide how to invest in the building.
We can coordinate roof, insulation, wall panel and drainage work, including the connections where separate repairs can leave problems behind.
We agree access, work areas and protection with your site team, including any restrictions needed while the roof is opened.
Roofing and cladding systems
Start with the address and the roof or cladding problem. Photographs are helpful if you already have them.
We review the affected areas and discuss how you use the building and what you want the work to achieve.
Your quotation explains the proposed repairs or refurbishment, the areas included and the price.
We discuss timing, access, deliveries and protection with your site contact before work begins.
We carry out the agreed work and discuss any changes needed if opening the roof reveals additional damage.
We review the completed work and provide the care information and documents included in your project.
