The model

Company-owned crews, not a franchise

Crews and equipment are staffed, equipped and insured by the company. There are no licensed operators and no franchisees, which is how the same equipment, the same chemistry and the same price sheet can be promised nationwide. A property manager in Denver reads the same rate a property manager in Miami does.

In Florida we operate as Vista Drone Cleaning. Vista operates under its own name, Vista Drone Cleaning . Florida is worked year-round, and it is where the two documented projects on this site were delivered.

Rates shown are our published national rates; every job is a fixed price after a free site survey.

The people

The founders of the Florida division

Jacob Stein and Eliot De Paz founded Vista Drone Cleaning and built the method used nationwide. Both are pictured doing the ground work that accompanies every drone job: railings, terraces and glass that a water-fed pole reaches better than a drone does.

Equipment and method

What we fly, and how it cleans

The building never sees a lift, a scaffold or a person on a rope. The drone launches from the client's own property, the pilot works from the ground, and tenants keep using every entrance for the duration of the job.

Lucid Bots Sherpa tethered drones

Purpose-built cleaning drones, not a camera drone with a hose. The tether carries water and power from the truck, so flight time is set by the job, not the battery.

Heated soft-wash chemistry

Low-pressure, heated soft-wash lifts algae, mold and atmospheric grime from stucco, EIFS, concrete, brick and metal without the etching and blown seals that pressure washing leaves behind.

0 TDS pure-water rinse

The final rinse is deionized water at 0 total dissolved solids. Glass, metal and solar panels dry spot-free with nothing left on the surface.

Up to 200 ft per staging position

About 18 stories from one position. Taller towers are staged from podiums, setbacks or the roof. We publish the method behind the number, not just the number.

Credentials and compliance

The documentation your risk team asks for

Most drone cleaning companies state that they are licensed and insured and stop there. We state the limit and the certificate, because that is what a management company has to check before a flight is approved.

Insurance: $2M general liability

  • $2M commercial general liability through Kinsale Insurance Company.
  • The policy's description of operations expressly covers exterior building washing performed by drone. We are rated as a drone operator, not a pressure-washing company that bought a UAV.
  • A certificate of insurance is issued to your management company before mobilization, with additional-insured endorsements available on request.

FAA Part 107 and airspace

  • Every pilot in command holds a current FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate.
  • Controlled airspace is handled through LAANC where it is available, and through manual FAA authorization where it is not, as in Manhattan.
  • Pre-flight site survey, NOTAM check and weather-window assessment on every job, with flight logs retained and available to your risk team on request.

Proof, not promises

The two projects behind the numbers

Both were delivered in Florida and both are documented in a client case study with a scope, a duration and a result.

Coral Gables, FL · delivered in Florida

Belmont Village

Belmont Village Senior Living, a 130,000+ sq ft luxury senior living high-rise.

Belmont Village needed its entire exterior - facade, windows and floor surfaces - cleaned without closing a single entrance or moving a resident. Lifts, scaffolding, swing stages and rope access were all off the table.

  • 130,000+ sq ft of exterior cleaned
  • 7 days start to finish
  • Zero lifts, scaffolding or closures
  • 2×/year asked back on a semi-annual schedule
Miramar, FL · delivered in Florida

Miramar Centre II

Workspace Property Trust, a four-story Class A office building in Miramar Centre Corporate Park.

A prospective tenant walkthrough was booked for Thursday and the job was only confirmed on Monday afternoon. Lifts and scaffolding could not clean the building in the time available, and nothing could block the entrances or take over the parking lot.

  • 48 hours to complete the entire building
  • ~29% below traditional pricing for the same scope
  • Zero lifts or scaffolding on site
  • Minimal disruption to tenants and daily operations
