New Haven is Connecticut's third most populous city, with a compact downtown office and institutional core.

How we operate in Connecticut
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Connecticut's 2017 UAS law (SB 975) preempts municipalities from creating their own drone rules, with a narrow exception allowing water companies to regulate UAS over public water supply land they operate.
Connecticut's HB 7066 (2025) restricts drone operation below 250 feet or within 100 feet of critical infrastructure such as dams, pipelines, power plants, and communications facilities, and prohibits unauthorized drone surveillance or photography of those sites.
Bradley International Airport, the primary airport serving the Hartford area, sits inside Class C airspace. LAANC near-real-time airspace authorization below 400 feet is available at Bradley and hundreds of other towered airports nationwide.
Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection registers all home improvement contractors doing business in the state and enforces the Home Improvement Act; published guidance does not specifically name pressure or soft washing among covered trades.
Connecticut DEEP regulates stormwater discharges through several NPDES general permits, including one requiring municipalities to keep pollutants such as wash water out of storm sewer systems, and DEEP separately publishes guidance for wash-water-adjacent activities like charitable car washes.
Building stock
Connecticut has 15 buildings over 328 feet (100 meters) tall, and Hartford holds at least 10 of them, led by City Place I at 535 feet.
What to expect in Connecticut: two documented projects
We have not yet published a documented project in Connecticut. Until we do, the two jobs below are the reference for scope, duration and price. Both were delivered in Florida, where we operate as Vista Drone Cleaning, with the same equipment, method, insurance and price sheet that crews bring to Connecticut.
Reference project: Belmont Village
Belmont Village Senior Living · Coral Gables, FL, a 130,000+ sq ft luxury senior living high-rise. Delivered in Florida, where we operate as Vista Drone Cleaning.
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.
Before
After- 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
Delivered at $0.20 / sq ft, all in, across the full scope. That is a real project price, not the advertised rate, and it does not move when the published range moves.
Reference project: Miramar Centre II
Workspace Property Trust · Miramar, FL, a four-story Class A office building in Miramar Centre Corporate Park. Delivered in Florida, where we operate as Vista Drone Cleaning.
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.
Before
After- 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
