Why fly it

The whole picture, in one visit

From active job sites in the Puget Lowlands to the remote areas of the Cascadian woodlands, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) seamlessly capture what ground equipment can’t.

01
Construction
Measurable & repeatable

A whole site captured in one visit, along the same flight path every time, so progress and grade changes can be measured and compared.

02
Roofs & property
Safer & more complete

Every slope and surface recorded with no one on a ladder, a scaffold, or a wet roof, not just what one person could reach.

03
Real estate
Context that sells

Lot size, views, and relative proximity to water, trails, roads, and landmarks: the things ground photos can’t show.

04
Cinematography
Scale you can feel

Sweeping footage that shows the full reach of a river, a ridgeline, an event, or a finished build.

Services

Recurring plans

Construction progress monitoring & mapping

Keep owners, lenders, and your own team looking at the same picture of the job. I fly your site on a set schedule, along the same path every visit, and deliver a measurable map, elevation data, and a 3D model. Track progress, check grades, and settle questions with a dated record instead of someone’s memory.

Mapping & photogrammetry
From feasibility to finished grade

Hundreds of overlapping photos become one geometrically corrected map of the site, with the lens distortion removed so distances and areas measure true. The same photos build an elevation model, contours, and a full 3D point cloud.

  • Weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly flights
  • Distortion-free site maps you can measure on
  • Elevation models, contours, and 3D point clouds
  • Dated records for owner meetings, lender draws, and disputes
  • Optional marketing flyover video of the project or finished build

Roof & property documentation

Getting someone onto a steep, wet, mossy roof is slow and risky. I photograph the entire roof from the air, slope by slope, and hand your roofer, adjuster, or inspector a complete, organized record without anyone leaving the ground.

  • Drone roof inspection photos of every slope
  • Close-ups of flashing, vents, valleys, and gutters
  • Labeled photo set keyed to a roof diagram
  • Visible items flagged by location, plus optional 3D model

Real estate photo & video

Ground photos can’t show the size of the lot, the view, or how close the property sits to the water, the trailhead, or the school. Aerials do, and they give buyers a reason to stop on your listing.

  • High-resolution stills, edited and MLS-ready
  • Flythrough and cinematic video clips
  • Neighborhood and amenity overviews
  • Files sized for MLS, listing sites, and social

Marketing, outdoor & project cinematography

Some places and projects only make sense from the air. I film rivers, ridgelines, trails, events, and finished builds for businesses, brands, outfitters, and builders who want marketing footage that shows the full scale of what they do.

  • Marketing and promotional videos for your website, social, and ads
  • Adventure and outdoor films
  • Brand, tourism, and event footage
  • Project completion and showcase reels
  • 4K, color-graded and edited to your length

FAQ

Common questions

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. I’m an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot and carry liability insurance. I can send proof of both before your flight.

What happens if it rains?

Rain and high wind affect both safety and image quality, so I watch the forecast closely. If conditions turn, I’ll move your flight to the next good window and keep you posted.

Can you fly near Paine Field?

Yes. Flights in controlled airspace near Paine Field and other airports are authorized through the FAA before takeoff, often through its LAANC system. I handle the authorization as part of planning.

What files will I get?

Photos as high-resolution JPEGs and video as MP4. Maps come as GeoTIFF, 3D data as point clouds (LAS) or models (OBJ), and contours as shapefile or DXF. Tell me what software you use and I’ll match it.

Is this a legal survey?

No. Mapping deliverables are for planning, progress tracking, and documentation. They don’t replace a survey by a licensed land surveyor or stamped engineering work.

How far do you travel?

I’m based in Marysville, WA and regularly fly throughout Western Washington, but farther jobs are welcome (travel will be included in your quote).
