Shelton Griffin · Owner & Operator

About

I show up, I do the work, and I do it right.

My name is Shelton Griffin and I own and operate Clearpoint Aerial. I started this company because I wanted to build something real — something local, something I could stand behind, and something I could grow on my own terms right here in Western North Carolina.

When you hire Clearpoint Aerial you are not getting a national company sending out a contractor you have never met. You are getting me. I plan the flights, I fly the site, I deliver the files.

I am not here to overcomplicate things. My clients get clear communication, reliable scheduling, and professional results, delivered on time. That is the standard I hold myself to on every job, and it is the foundation this business is built on.

How I Operate

Four things you can count on.

01

I show up on time

Scheduled visits happen on schedule. No last-minute cancellations, no rescheduling without a good reason. Your project timeline matters and I respect it.

02

I communicate clearly

You will always know what to expect — before the flight, after delivery, and at every step between. No confusion, no surprises, no chasing me for an update.

03

The same person, every visit

Consistency is the product. The person who flies visit 1 flies visit 40, which is the one thing a dispatch model cannot promise you.

04

I am building for the long term

Clearpoint Aerial is built to grow in this region for years, which means every client relationship has to be worth keeping. Doing right by the first one is how that works.

Why I Started This

Western NC needed a reliable local option.

I watched contractors and builders in this region get passed over by national drone companies, dealing with scheduling headaches and inconsistent results. The Piedmont deserves better than that.

Clearpoint Aerial was built specifically for this market — the GCs, developers, custom home builders and agents who work in these 22 counties every day. I know this area, I understand what these projects need, and I built a service that delivers it consistently.
