The Roof, Resolved.

Neighborhood-scale roof intelligence for roofing companies and insurance carriers. One capture program replaces weeks of drive-by inspection — and grades every roof it passes.

The Brief

Stop burning crew hours on drive-bys. Fly it once. Know every roof.

A truck crew canvassing streets covers a few hundred roofs a day and still misses damage the eye cannot resolve from the curb. One V&M aircraft covers the same ground in a single flight window — capturing every roof plane at sub-inch resolution and grading each one before your team leaves the office.

For Roofing Companies

Sell to the damage. Skip the rest.

01

Capture

One flight window covers the neighborhood. UAS and manned platforms fly systematic orthomosaic passes at sub-inch ground sample distance — every roof plane, every slope, every penetration recorded in a single sortie.

02

Detect

The V&M ATLAS platform runs AI damage detection across the mosaic. Hail impact, wind creasing, lifted shingles, and exposed matting are flagged per roof and scored for severity — no ladders, no drive-bys, no guessing.

03

Target

Your sales team stops canvassing blind. ATLAS routes reps only to damaged, qualified roofs. Every knock is a lead. The fuel, hours, and payroll spent idling past healthy shingles come off your cost of sale.

04

Close

Quotes come off the imagery, not off a ladder. Reps price the job on site from high-resolution captures — accurate squares, accurate slopes, accurate numbers. Fewer callbacks, tighter margins, faster signatures.

The Software Layer

ATLAS reads the roof for you.

Built In-House

ATLAS is proprietary V&M software — developed, maintained, and flown by the same team that operates the aircraft. Capture, processing, and analysis run in one pipeline, with no third-party hand-offs.

02

Per-Roof Damage Reports

Built-in AI assistance flags hail, wind, and wear signatures on every roof in the capture, then compiles an address-level report — damage class, severity score, and annotated imagery for each structure.

03

Exportable Deliverables

Orthomosaics, per-roof reports, and claim-ready evidence packets export in standard formats. Your imagery loads into the estimating, CRM, and claims tools you already run — not a walled garden.

For Insurance Carriers

Evidence before the storm exists.

Pre-Storm Baseline Archive

Know what the roof looked like before the storm.

Scheduled baseline flights over insured portfolios build a date-stamped, geo-referenced record of roof condition — captured in calm weather, before any claim exists.

  • Portfolio-scale coverage. Whole books of business flown on a recurring capture calendar.
  • Address-level records. Every insured roof indexed, dated, and retrievable by policy address.
  • Condition on file. Wear, prior repairs, and pre-existing defects documented before the event.
  • Secure handling. Imagery archived under controlled access from capture to retrieval.

Claim Verification

Damage dated. Claims settled on evidence.

When the claim arrives, adjusters compare the post-event capture against the baseline. The question of whether damage pre-existed a given storm stops being an argument and becomes a lookup.

  • Before-and-after comparison. Post-event imagery aligned against the pre-storm archive, roof by roof.
  • Date-stamped evidence. Confirm damage did — or did not — pre-exist the event in question.
  • Reduced leakage. Fraudulent and misattributed claims identified before payment, not after.
  • Faster, fairer settlements. Legitimate claims documented and closed on objective imagery.

Coverage Doctrine

Whole neighborhoods in a single flight window.
