How it works

The same soft wash a crew would do from a lift. Applied from the air.

A tethered drone carries the spray boom down the face of the building. The pump, the van, and the pilot stay on the ground. No lift, no ladders, no one on a rope.

How the drone washes a commercial buildingA four-story office building in side view. A tethered drone holds about ten feet off the glass and works from the top floor down, spraying a low-pressure wash. The glass behind it goes from streaked to clean. The pump, the van, and the pilot stay on the ground.4 stories, no lift10 ftpump, van, and pilot stay on the ground

One pass, top floor to the ground, from a ten-foot standoff. Nobody leaves the ground.

Step by step

What happens on the day

  1. Request a quote

    Send the address and what needs washing. We call within one business day and set a walkaround.

  2. Walkaround and written quote

    We check surfaces, landscaping, water access, and takeoff space, then send a written quote.

  3. Protect the site

    Plants get pre-wet and covered where needed. Windows and doors are checked. Perimeter set.

  4. Fly the wash

    The drone holds about ten feet off the surface and applies the solution in overlapping passes, then rinses.

  5. Walkthrough and footage

    We walk the property with you, rinse the plants again, and send the before-and-after video.

What's in the solution

A diluted sodium hypochlorite mix with a surfactant so it clings to the surface long enough to work. It's the method roofing manufacturers recommend for algae and the same chemistry used in pool and laundry care, at lower concentration. Landscaping is pre-wet before and rinsed after so nothing sits on plants.

What it won't do

  • Strip paint or remove rust. Soft wash is for organic growth and weather film. Failing paint needs prep, not a wash.
  • Clean inside gutters. We clean the gutter face and fascia. Interior clean-outs are a separate ground job we can quote together.
  • Fly in high wind. Over the pilot's safe limit, the job moves to the next clear day at no charge.
  • Replace a roof inspection. The footage shows the surface, not the decking. If the pilot spots lifted shingles, you'll hear about it, but a roofer makes the call.
