 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris worked with us on a residential shoot for our landscaping company. We did a project in St Paul and we wanted beautiful before and after photos.
Chris gave us fair pricing and was very easy to work with. Our project had delays and he was quick to adjusting on the fly to accommodate us and the homeowners. He was friendly, professional, and understood what we needed. We are very happy with the photos and how quickly he had them ready for us. We will be using UAV again in the future and highly recommend them!
