Where we work in Englewood
Crews and equipment mobilize anywhere in the United States, with travel built into a fixed quote after a free site survey. The buildings we quote most often in Englewood are hospitals and medical campuses, office towers, apartment communities, retail centers and hotels and resorts.
Hampden Avenue medical district
HCA HealthONE Swedish at 501 East Hampden Avenue is a 504-bed acute care hospital and a Level I trauma and burn center with more than 2,000 employees and 1,400 physicians and allied health staff.
Craig Hospital campus
Craig Hospital at 3425 South Clarkson Street is a 93-bed spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation hospital that added 85,000 square feet of new space and renovated 135,000 square feet in a project completed in 2016.

Englewood building stock
Englewood counted 33,659 residents at the 2020 census, with a 2024 estimate of 35,238, in Arapahoe County immediately south of Denver.
Englewood's office market contains about 10.2 million square feet of space, 7 million of it in buildings between 100,000 and 500,000 square feet.
About 44 percent of Englewood office listings are in properties rated Class A, across roughly 10.2 million square feet of office space.
Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital are the two largest employers in Englewood, ahead of the Groove Toyota dealership.
A tethered drone reaches up to 200 ft, about 18 stories, from one staging position; taller towers are worked from podiums, setbacks or the roof. Height is a planning question at the survey, not a limit.
Climate, soiling and season in Englewood
Englewood shares metro Denver's semi-arid climate, about 14 inches of precipitation, 49 inches of snow and around 3,100 hours of sunshine a year, so exteriors soil from wind-blown dust, road grit and freeze-thaw staining rather than humidity-driven growth.
The Denver climate station a few miles north averages a first freeze around October 7 and a last around May 5, so water-based washing here runs May into early October.
Englewood's average first freeze is early October, and the average last freeze is early May. These are averages; the survey confirms the window for your building.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather; the freeze dates shown are averages and the survey confirms the window for your building. Recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
Flying and washing in Englewood
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
Englewood lies under Denver International's Class B airspace with Centennial Airport's Class D ring just to the south, so LAANC authorization is needed for nearly every flight over the city.
An Englewood Occupancy Permit is required for any activity that blocks traffic or substantially limits use of the street, sidewalk or alley, with a traffic control plan meeting the MUTCD and a certificate of insurance naming the city.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the Colorado page. See also where drones need permits.
