Meet the founders

Vista is founder-run. One of the two people below scopes every project, and one of them is on site for the work that matters most.

Co-founded Vista Drone Cleaning to bring industrial drone cleaning to South Florida's commercial property market. Runs operations and flight planning — airspace authorizations, site surveys, and the safety plan for every project.

Built for property managers who want results, not excuses.

We operate a fleet of Lucid Bots Sherpa industrial cleaning drones with soft-wash and pure-water systems. Our pilots are FAA Part 107 certified, our liability policy expressly covers drone-performed exterior cleaning, and every project comes with full before/after documentation.

From a single Brickell tower to multi-property HOA contracts across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach — we deliver faster, safer, and at a lower total cost than traditional methods.

Credentials & Compliance

Real trust signals — not just logos on a page

Every property manager who's been burned by an under-insured contractor knows the difference between marketing and proof. Here's the documentation we hand to your risk team before the first flight.

Insurance — $2M general liability

  • $1,000,000 per-occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability through Kinsale Insurance Company
  • The policy's description of operations expressly covers exterior building washing performed by drone — we're rated as a drone operator, not a pressure-washing company that bought a UAV
  • Workers' compensation and employers' liability for every crew member on site
  • Commercial auto coverage on every service vehicle
  • Certificate of Insurance (COI) issued to your management company within 24 hours
  • Additional-insured endorsements and waiver of subrogation are already on the policy — naming your HOA board or ownership entity requires no mid-term change, at no charge

FAA Part 107 + LAANC airspace

  • Every pilot holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate
  • LAANC authorization filed for every flight under MIA, FLL, OPF, FXE, TMB, and PBI controlled airspace
  • Manual tower coordination for any property within the 5-mile inner ring
  • Pre-flight site survey, NOTAM check, and weather-window assessment on every job
  • Visual observer on every flight in dense urban airspace (Brickell, Downtown, Miami Beach)
  • Full flight logs retained and available to your risk team on request

Local Miami presence — not a franchise

  • Headquartered in Miami-Dade with same-day site visits across the tri-county
  • Founders on site for every recertification, 40-year, and post-storm mobilization
  • Active service area: Brickell, Downtown, Edgewater, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Aventura, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach
  • Established relationships with regional engineering firms handling 40-year recertification and Milestone Inspections
  • Knowledge of local airspace rules, HOA cycles, and Art Deco / historic-district requirements
  • Same-week emergency response after named storms — we don't leave town for the next hurricane

Equipment, training & documentation

  • Lucid Bots Sherpa industrial cleaning drones — purpose-built for facade work, not a hobby UAV with a hose
  • Tethered pure-water and soft-wash systems; biodegradable surfactants only
  • Documented pilot training program; new pilots fly with a senior PIC for the first 90 days
  • 4K aerial before/after documentation delivered with every project
  • Geotagged photo sets formatted for engineer-of-record attachment to recertification filings
  • Florida business license, EIN, and W-9 available for vendor onboarding

Need a COI, additional-insured endorsement, or copy of the FAA certificate before we mobilize? Request it from any project manager on your team and we'll have it back within one business day — usually the same afternoon.
