For roofing companies
See every slope without climbing a single roof.
Roofers are our main focus. We capture high-resolution overhead and angled imagery of the whole roof so your team can estimate, document, and sell the job with confidence, and stay off steep or damaged roofs while doing it.
- Safer inspections. Less time on ladders and steep pitches.
- Overhead shots ready for measuring. Straight-down views of every roof plane.
- Claim-ready documentation. Organized photos that support insurance conversations.
- Before and after. Show homeowners the finished result from above.

About
Charlie Merdinian
Founder
I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I've been around construction my whole life. My parents work in the construction industry. In high school I spent my summers working for a home builder, and after graduating I went into the electrical trade.
I've also been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember. Overhead Imaging brings those two worlds together. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, and Overhead Imaging is a licensed and insured drone operator. I fly with the same mindset I learned on job sites: show up prepared, work safely, and deliver what the crew actually needs.
Because I know how contractors work, I know what a useful photo looks like. That means the right angles, clear detail, and files you can put to work the same day. My approach is simple: the customer comes first.
