Cleaning Commercial Buildings Without Scaffolding

Drone-based facade cleaning typically costs 30-60% less than scaffolding because there's no rig rental, no engineering review, no permit fees, and no daily labor for assembly and teardown. Buildings that would otherwise need scaffolding for more than a week see the biggest savings.

No. Our drones apply the same biodegradable, pH-balanced detergents used in traditional soft-washing, followed by a pure-water rinse that leaves no spotting or residue. The chemistry is safe for glass, anodized aluminum, stucco, EIFS, and painted concrete, and we adjust dwell time for each surface during the site survey.

Drone cleaning operates under standard FAA Part 107 commercial drone rules rather than the scaffolding permits, engineering reviews, and sidewalk-closure approvals required for boom lifts or swing-stage rigs. We handle flight planning and any required notice to property management, with no multi-week permitting process to wait on.

There's effectively no height limit. We've cleaned facades on towers over 40 stories using the same single-pad launch setup we use for 3-story commercial buildings. The drone's flight plan, not the building's height, determines how many segments each elevation takes.

Most mid-rise commercial buildings (5-15 stories) are completed in 1-3 days. A comparable scaffolding project, including 1-3 weeks of permitting, engineering review, and rig assembly before any cleaning begins, often takes 3-5 weeks from start to finish.

Yes. Because there's no scaffolding blocking entrances, walkways, or windows, and no crew working at height alongside the building, tenants, residents, and pedestrians experience minimal disruption. We coordinate flight windows with property management to avoid peak foot-traffic times.
