Tile Repair & Roofer Referrals
We Find the Cracked Tile Before the Water Does
Solar installs and bird damage crack tile. Nobody sees it from the ground — we see it from 100 feet up.
If it's a handful of tiles, we swap them. If the roof needs more than that, we say so and hand you to a roofer we trust. No upsell either direction.
Free Roof Look
$0
No obligation · while we're in your area
We put the drone up over your roof and show you the photos on the spot. That's it.
Includes:
- Aerial pass over your roof and solar array
- Photos of any cracked, slipped, or missing tile
- Straight answer on whether it needs work
- No pressure and no charge if everything looks fine
Most Common
Tile Repair
$200
Flat, up to six tiles · $35 each additional
The same spot repair solar crews do when they break a tile on an install — done properly, not slid back into place.
Includes:
- Replacement of cracked, slipped, or broken tile
- Color and profile matched as closely as available stock allows
- Before-and-after photos of every repair
- Check of surrounding tile while we're up there
- Honest call-out if the underlayment is the real problem
Bigger Than a Repair
Referral
We hand it off, you keep the photos
Widespread damage, failed underlayment, or a roof near end of life needs a licensed roofing contractor. We'll tell you that instead of patching it.
Includes:
- Full documented photo set of what we found
- Introduction to a licensed roofer we work with
- Your photos are yours — use them for any bid or claim
Service scope: Valley Drone Operations performs minor tile replacement and documentation only. Full roof replacement, structural work, and underlayment repair are referred to licensed roofing contractors.
