Why Choose ECM

Not Every Drone
Service Is Equal.

The barrier to buying a consumer drone is low. The barrier to delivering data your roofing contractor, insurer, or property manager can actually act on — that's a different standard entirely.

Enterprise Equipment, Not Consumer Gear

ECM operates purpose-built commercial drone platforms — not consumer hardware adapted for professional work. Our thermal sensor captures fully calibrated radiometric data with a temperature value in every pixel. Our visual platform delivers 48MP stills and 4K video. The equipment is matched to the job, and the output reflects it.

Certified, Insured, and Documented

FAA Part 107 certified with $1,000,000 in liability coverage on every flight. We pull LAANC airspace authorization before every job and maintain full flight logs. If your contract or insurance carrier asks for proof of coverage, we have it.

Deliverables, Not Just Data

A folder of raw images isn't a deliverable. Every job includes structured output — annotated reports, organized progress imagery, or formatted data captures — ready to hand to a contractor, file for records, or share with ownership.

You Work Directly With the Operator

ECM is a Central Indiana operation. No dispatchers, no subcontractors, no national platform. The person you email is the person who shows up, flies the job, and delivers the work — with full accountability on every engagement.

Non-Invasive. No Disruption to Operations.

Aerial drone operations require no roof access, no ladders, no scaffolding, and no interruption to tenants or building operations. A typical commercial scan or documentation visit is completed in under two hours from setup to pack-up.

Common Questions

Before you
reach out.

Most questions answered here. If something isn't covered, reach out directly.

Ask a Question →
Generally no. Drone operations are conducted from ground level with no need for roof access, ladders, or building entry. For roof scans, you just need to let us know of any access restrictions around the property perimeter. For construction sites, a brief site orientation is appreciated but not always required. We work around your schedule and operations.
It depends on the service. Roof scans typically take 60–90 minutes on site including setup and post-flight checks. Construction documentation visits run 30–60 minutes depending on site size and angle coverage needed. Aerial data capture varies by project scope. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. Deliverables are typically sent within 3–5 business days of the flight date, with most standard jobs turned around sooner.
It depends on the service. Roof inspections include a full PDF report with executive summary, severity-rated anomaly table, annotated thermal and RGB image pairs, satellite overhead diagram, and recommendations. Construction documentation includes organized, timestamped aerial photos and video delivered via cloud link. Aerial data capture is delivered in the format your project requires. Raw imagery is available as an add-on for any service.
All flights require wind speeds under 15 mph and no active precipitation. Thermal roof scans additionally require a minimum 18°F temperature difference between the building interior and exterior — typically met in early morning or evening during cooler months. If conditions aren't suitable on your scheduled day, we'll reschedule at no additional charge and communicate within 24 hours.
Yes. ECM Aerial Imaging carries $1,000,000 per-flight liability coverage through SkyWatch. A certificate of insurance is available on request prior to any flight — just ask when you reach out.
No — and we're upfront about that. ECM Aerial Imaging is a FAA Part 107 certified drone operator, not a licensed roofing contractor, structural engineer, or home inspector. Our work is aerial documentation and data collection. For roof scans, findings should be verified by a qualified roofing professional before any remediation work begins. Think of it as giving your contractor a head start with hard data before they get on the roof.
Yes — and it's one of our most common engagements. Construction documentation projects typically involve regular milestone visits throughout the build. We offer flexible scheduling and volume pricing for multi-visit engagements, whether that's weekly, bi-weekly, or tied to specific project phases. Reach out with your timeline and we'll put together a package that fits.
We operate within a 50-mile radius of Greenwood, Indiana at no additional travel charge — covering the full Indianapolis metro including Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Plainfield, Avon, and Westfield. Travel beyond 50 miles is available at a flat add-on rate quoted per project.
ECM retains processed imagery and reports for 90 days following the flight date. After that, files are removed from our systems. Clients are responsible for archiving delivered files. Raw imagery is available as an optional add-on if your team needs the original data files.
