Here's a few projects I've worked on recently
Keeping Your Project on Track—One Flight at a Time.
Hey, I’m John Grimaldi—founder of True North Drone Services. 👋
I started this company in 2018 after years of flying everything radio-controlled. Drones were the next evolution—and when I realized how powerful progress photos and videos could be for construction teams, I knew I’d found my lane.
I focus on creating consistent, scheduled visuals that help project managers stay on top of builds from day one to handoff.
Over the years, I’ve delivered drone updates for everything from residential neighborhoods to multi-story developments. I’ve built True North around delivering exactly what’s needed—clear, reliable before-during-after visuals that support updates, documentation, marketing, and internal reporting. Mapping is part of what I do, but progress photo and video updates are my specialty.
If you need visual updates that actually keep your team aligned and your stakeholders impressed, let’s talk.
