Oakville-Based, Oakville-Focused

Holland Productions is headquartered right here in Oakville. That means no travel charges, faster scheduling, and a team that knows the local commercial landscape. From the QEW business corridor to corporate campuses across town, we understand the roof systems that protect Oakville's commercial properties.

Our drone-based thermal inspections detect trapped moisture that visual inspections miss. After sunset, wet insulation releases heat more slowly than dry material, creating temperature patterns our infrared cameras map with centimeter-level accuracy. No roof access required, no disruption to your building.

How Thermal Roof Scanning Works

1

Weather Coordination

We schedule for optimal conditions: 48+ hours without rain, sunny day for solar loading, clear evening, wind below 25 km/h.

2

RGB Survey

Daytime flight captures high-resolution imagery showing surface conditions, ponding, debris, and visible damage.

3

Thermal Survey

After sunset, we capture thousands of infrared images as the roof releases stored heat, revealing moisture patterns.

4

Analysis & Reporting

We process both datasets, trace anomalies in AutoCAD, calculate affected areas, and deliver your complete report.

Typical Timeline: On-site 1 to 2 hours (RGB) + 2 to 4 hours (thermal) | Report delivery: 5 to 7 business days

Commercial-Grade Thermal Systems

DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal (M3T)

Integrated thermal and visual sensors with RTK positioning. Compact and efficient for mid-size commercial roofs and tight scheduling windows.

DJI Matrice 400 with H30T

Heavy-lift platform for larger facilities. Extended flight time and advanced thermal payload for comprehensive coverage.

32-Bit Radiometric Processing

All thermal data captured as calibrated radiometric files and processed into georeferenced maps with actual temperature data.

Oakville Coverage

Based in downtown Oakville, we provide thermal roof inspections throughout the town. Local presence means quick response times and flexible scheduling, especially when weather windows open up on short notice.

Thermal Roof Inspection Oakville

How much does a thermal roof inspection cost in Oakville?

Pricing depends on roof size, complexity, and deliverables required. As your local provider, there are no travel charges for Oakville projects. Contact us with your building's approximate square footage for a custom quote.

How quickly can you schedule a thermal inspection?

Being based in Oakville allows us to respond quickly when weather conditions align. For urgent projects, we can often schedule within a few days if a suitable weather window opens up. We always maintain backup dates for every project.

How long does a thermal inspection take?

On-site work runs 3 to 6 hours: a daytime RGB flight (1 to 2 hours) followed by an evening thermal survey (2 to 4 hours depending on roof size). Report delivery takes 5 to 7 business days.

What weather do you need?

We require at least 48 hours without rain, a sunny day to heat the roof (solar loading), clear evening conditions, and wind speeds below 25 km/h. We monitor weather closely and schedule backup dates for every project.

What types of roofs can you inspect?

Flat and low-slope commercial roofs with membrane systems produce the best results: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. This covers most commercial office buildings, retail plazas, and light industrial facilities in Oakville.

Do you follow ASTM standards?

Yes. Our thermal roof surveys follow ASTM C1153 protocols for locating wet insulation using infrared imaging. This produces results that roofing consultants, engineers, and insurance companies recognize and accept.

What certifications do you hold?

Craig Holland is a Level II sUAS Certified Thermographer with Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certification. Holland Productions holds RPOC authorization for complex operations and carries $6.25 million in commercial liability insurance.

Can you work around our building's schedule?

Absolutely. Our drone-based approach requires no roof access during the survey, so your building can continue normal operations. We coordinate timing to work around your needs and minimize any impact on tenants or staff.
