Eaves surveys your roof by drone before anyone climbs it. You keep the photographs, the measurements and a fixed price.
Most roofs are priced from the driveway. We measure every plane from 125 feet first, so the number you are given is the number you pay.

What we do,
from ridge to gutter.
Roof surveys
A twenty-minute drone flight, a measured report and a fixed price within two working days.
Leak repairs
Most leaks start at a valley, a vent or a wall. We find the entry point before anything is lifted.
Full replacement
Strip to the deck, new underlayment and ice barrier, and a roof laid by our own crew.
Ridges and flashing
Ridge caps, step flashing, chimney crickets and the small metal parts that keep water moving.
Gutters and eaves
Seamless aluminium gutters, fascia and drip edge, pitched to drain rather than to look level.
Storm response
Same-day cover after wind or hail, with photographs your insurer will accept.
What owners say once the crew has gone.
They sent the photographs before they sent the price. I could see every cracked shingle they were charging me for.

Full replacement
Three roofers quoted from the driveway. Eaves flew it, measured it and told me I did not need a new roof.

Storm response
A slate roof from 1891, and nobody walked on it until they knew exactly where to step.

Questions,
answered plainly.
If yours is not here, call 401 555 0142. A roofer answers, not a call centre.
Do I have to be home for the survey?
No. We need access to the yard and about twenty minutes of dry daylight. You get a text when the drone goes up and another when it lands.
How accurate are the measurements?
Within one percent on area and half an inch on length for a typical house. We check the first survey of every roof type against a tape.
What does the survey cost?
$180 for a house up to 3,500 sq ft. If you go ahead with any work over $1,500, the fee comes off the bill.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes. The only extra we ever charge is for rotten decking we could not see, at $85 a sheet, and we show you the photographs first.
Can you fly near the airport?
Most of Providence is controlled airspace. Our pilots are certified and we file the authorisation for every flight. It usually comes back in minutes.
Do you work in winter?
We survey all year. We replace roofs when it is above 40°F, which in a normal year means March to early December.
