- Totally agree on combining drone scans with manual checks—tech is great, but nothing beats a careful look up close.
- Had a similar false alarm myself: drone flagged a "hot spot," turned out to be sunlight reflecting off my neighbor's skylight onto my roof... wasted half a day worrying about nothing.
- Learned the hard way that tech is helpful but can trick you if you're not careful. Always double-check before climbing around in the attic again, haha.
Had a similar experience recently—drone flagged what looked like a serious moisture patch. Climbed up there ready for the worst, turns out it was just morning dew trapped under some leaves...felt like a bit of an idiot. Tech's great for spotting potential issues, but nothing beats getting your eyes (and hands) on the actual problem area. Learned my lesson: trust, but verify, haha.

Had something similar happen last month. Drone inspection flagged a "damaged shingle," but when I got up there, it was just a shadow from a tree branch...felt kinda silly lugging my tools up for nothing. Definitely agree—tech helps narrow things down, but double-checking in person saves you from unnecessary headaches. Learned to take drone reports with a grain of salt now.
Been there myself—had a drone report highlight "severe hail damage" once, climbed up expecting the worst, and turns out it was just bird droppings... Talk about anticlimactic. Tech's handy, but nothing replaces good old-fashioned eyes on the issue.
- Totally get that... drones can be overly cautious sometimes.
- Had a similar situation—report flagged "major shingle deterioration," climbed up ready to schedule a full replacement, only to find some moss patches and dirt buildup.
- Tech's great for initial checks, but nothing beats hands-on inspection to confirm what's really going on.
- Still, drones save time spotting tricky areas—just gotta double-check before jumping to conclusions.
