Where we work in Idaho

Boise
Downtown Boise is described as the city's cultural center with a growing number of high-rises alongside many small businesses.
Meridian

Nampa

Season and scheduling

The practical exterior washing window runs from about late April to mid-October, between Boise's average last spring frost and first fall frost.

Boise's average first freeze is mid-October, and the average last freeze is late April.

Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather, and recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.

Regulatory notes

How we operate in Idaho

These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.

Idaho has no broad state preemption of local drone rules; cities may regulate takeoff, landing, and operations on property they own, layered on top of state law.
Idaho lacks a general critical-infrastructure overflight ban covering power plants or utilities, unlike many neighboring states; its only criminal no-fly zone covers Department of Correction facilities, effective July 2026.
Idaho Code 21-213 is a civil privacy statute barring intentional drone surveillance or recording of a specific person, dwelling, farm, or business without written consent, but it exempts mapping, resource management, and utility right-of-way inspection.
Boise: Boise requires operators to contact Parks and Recreation before flying in city parks, and Julia Davis Park is off-limits because of its proximity to Zoo Boise.
Boise Air Terminal and Gowen Field operate Class C airspace requiring LAANC authorization across much of the Treasure Valley.
Idaho does not require a state contractor license for pressure or soft washing; a local city or county business license may still apply.

Building stock

Boise has 5 buildings taller than 200 feet, led by Eighth and Main at 323 feet, which has been the tallest building in Idaho since 2014.

What to expect in Idaho: two documented projects

We have not yet published a documented project in Idaho. 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 Idaho.

Documented project · Florida

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.

Courtyard facade of Belmont Village in Coral Gables before drone cleaning, dulled stucco above the street — Belmont Village, Coral Gables, the courtyard facade before and after a drone wash. Delivered in Florida.

The same Coral Gables courtyard facade after the drone wash, uniform and bright — Belmont Village, Coral Gables, the courtyard facade before and after a drone wash. Delivered in Florida.

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.

Documented project · Florida

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.

The entrance keystone at Miramar Centre II before cleaning, streaked with runoff staining — Miramar Centre II: the entrance keystone, the first thing a tenant sees, before and after. Delivered in Florida.

The same entrance keystone after cleaning, the most visible piece of the facade restored — Miramar Centre II: the entrance keystone, the first thing a tenant sees, before and after. Delivered in Florida.

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
