Do you fly drones in Downingtown, PA?

Yes. Downingtown is in Chester County, where I am based and working every week, so it is a short drive and usually a quick turnaround.

What does insurance and claim documentation cost in Downingtown?

$325 per property in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Four or more properties a month is priced lower on a standing arrangement. Quoted prices are valid 90 days.

What kind of drone work do you do most in Downingtown?

Mostly real estate, construction, insurance & claims here, though all four packaged lines and the services quoted per project are available anywhere I fly. Downingtown is the northern end of my range, where Route 30 meets the East Branch of the Brandywine.

Are you insured and FAA certified to fly in Downingtown?

Yes. Every flight is by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, and the site itself is insured through SkyWatch — $1M of commercial liability bound for your address before the flight, with a certificate naming you as additional insured issued with it. Work in or near controlled airspace needs LAANC authorization arranged in advance.

Drone photography in Downingtown

Downingtown is the northern end of my range, where Route 30 meets the East Branch of the Brandywine. Property, construction and a fair amount of water.

The creek is the thing here. It runs through the middle of the borough, and it means almost every property question in Downingtown eventually becomes a drainage question: where the water goes, what it does to a lot in a wet week, and how close the flood plain actually comes to a building.

That is a photograph you can only take from above, and it is worth taking before you need it. A dated set of frames of a property in ordinary conditions is a far more useful document than the ones everybody takes afterwards.

Beyond the creek it is straightforward suburban work: new construction off 113 and 322, listings on lots that read better from the air than the street, and commercial buildings along the highway.
