In the geosciences there has been a bit of research in the past 10 years using Structure from Motion techniques on images collected from normal cameras suspended from balloons, if a drone isn't available.
Both of these papers discuss making 3D models of topography on the scale of a house and yard. You can also probably get colors mapped onto the surfaces.
(Note that I believe both use AgiSoft structure from motion software, which is probably expensive. I have no idea what the FOSS options are.)
