Harlem Drone Inspections FAQ

Can you scan Harlem brownstones for renovation planning?

Yes, we regularly document Harlem brownstones for renovation and restoration projects. Our scanning captures all levels including basement and parlor floors, rear gardens, and roof. The data reveals true existing conditions including structural issues, MEP systems, and original details that inform renovation design.

How do you handle multi-level brownstones with no elevator?

Most Harlem brownstones are 4-5 story walk-ups. Our Matterport Pro3 and Leica BLK360 are portable enough to carry up multiple flights. We systematically capture each level, documenting the unique layouts, original details, and any modifications. The multi-level nature of brownstones is what makes them special.

Do you work in Harlem historic districts?

Yes, we work throughout Harlem's historic districts including Hamilton Heights, Mount Morris Park, and St. Nicholas. Our documentation supports renovation projects by capturing existing conditions that inform LPC applications. We understand the preservation requirements that apply in these designated areas.

Can you document brownstone restorations in progress?

Yes, we provide progress documentation for brownstone restoration projects. Regular scanning creates a record of construction phases, verifies work against plans, and documents the transformation. Before/after comparisons showcase the quality of restoration work.

What's the typical cost to scan a Harlem brownstone?

Harlem brownstone scanning typically ranges from $1,500-4,000 depending on size and deliverables. A 4,000 sqft brownstone with 4 levels, Matterport tour, and basic floor plans might be $2,000-2,500. Full laser scanning with BIM-conversion-ready scan data costs more. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific project.
