A professional aerial imaging company built by people who came up through the trades. They know the difference between cutting corners and delivering real results.
VP Aerial Solutions was founded by two professionals whose careers were shaped by the demands of construction and skilled trades. Quality is non-negotiable, deadlines are real, and sloppy work costs everyone.
Our lead founder spent years as an Assistant Superintendent for a large general contractor, managing commercial projects, working directly with owners and PMs, and learning firsthand what site teams actually need from documentation: organized, clear, on time. Not a hard drive full of raw footage. Real work that helps people make decisions.
Our co-founder is a skilled carpenter and U.S. Navy veteran. Someone who's used to doing things right the first time and doesn't cut corners.
We looked at the local aerial market and saw the same thing: lots of guys with drones, almost none of them treating it like a real business. Slow turnarounds, poor communication, no understanding of the industries they were claiming to serve. We started VP Aerial Solutions to do it better. We're building it the right way from day one.
We're based in Maricopa County and serve the greater Phoenix metro area, with a focus on real estate, construction, and property documentation.
We've worked on commercial job sites. We know what GCs, owners, and PMs care about, and what they don't have time for. That background is something most drone operators just don't have.
In construction, being late costs real money. We run our operation the same way: fast quotes, scheduled flights, and your files in your hands when we said they'd be there.
These aren't mission statement platitudes. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every single job.
Every flight is planned. Every job is reviewed before it goes out. We don't send clients work we're not proud of.
We show up when we say we will and deliver when we say we will. That's not a selling point. It's the minimum standard.
No overselling, no hidden fees, no jargon. We give clients a clear picture of what they'll get, what it costs, and when they'll have it.
A folder of raw clips isn't a finished job. We organize, label, and format our work so clients can actually use it. Not just store it somewhere and forget about it.
We're doing this right. Every license and credential is being obtained in the correct order. No shortcuts, no gray areas.
