SkyeBrowse has released Roof Damage Analysis, a tool that turns a single drone flight into roof measurements and an initial screen for possible storm damage. The company says the workflow identifies a roof in an uploaded model, measures its area, pitch, facets, ridges, valleys and eaves, and flags issues such as missing shingles, cracked tiles, hail damage and wind damage. DroneLife reports on the product release and its intended users.
The tool is designed as an inspection aid rather than an automated insurance or repair decision. Its AI reviews up to 16 video frames and eight additional photographs in approximately 20 seconds, labeling findings as “Likely” or “Possible.” An inspector must approve each finding before it enters a report, and the system does not determine the cause of damage, insurance coverage or repair requirements. That makes the documented operating model closer to assisted screening than unattended roof assessment.
SkyeBrowse’s own release also describes the surrounding commercial workflow: maps can be exported for applications including SARTopo, ArcGIS, AutoCAD and Civil 3D, while contour data can be exported as DXF for CAD work. Surveyed ground-control points can now correct the model itself, with measurements, annotations and exported files moving with the correction; check points remain separate for an independent accuracy check. The company’s newsletter describes those export and correction functions.
The release is available on SkyeBrowse Pro and Public Safety & Enterprise plans. DroneLife lists Pro pricing at $49.99 per model, or $39.99 with annual billing, while SkyeBrowse’s newsletter says a first Commercial model costs $5 and includes GCP and topographic exports. The documents do not identify a specific customer using the new roof tool or establish a live commercial deployment, so the evidence supports a product launch for inspection operators—not a reported customer rollout.
