Kansas City, Kansas
Kansas City, Kansas has about 156,600 residents and a downtown core built out during its streetcar-suburb growth era.

Season and scheduling

How we operate in Kansas
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Kansas has no statewide preemption of local drone ordinances; cities retain authority over takeoff and landing on property they control.
K.S.A. 60-31a02 expands the state's stalking-harassment law to cover a course of conduct carried out with a drone over or near a dwelling or other place where privacy is expected.
Kansas Administrative Regulation 115-8-13 bans drone takeoff and landing on all state parks and wildlife areas, a Class C misdemeanor.
K.S.A. 32-1003 prohibits using a drone to hunt, scout, or locate game animals in Kansas.
Wichita: Wichita Municipal Code 9.35.210 requires the airport director's written consent before drone operations near airport property.
Wichita Eisenhower National Airport carries Class C airspace, so commercial flights need LAANC authorization in the controlled rings, with McConnell Air Force Base restricted airspace to the southeast.
Kansas does not require a state contractor license for pressure or soft washing; a local city or county business license may still be required.
Building stock
Overland Park's Xchange Building is the third-largest office building in the Kansas City metro area, with 735,000 square feet of space.
What to expect in Kansas: two documented projects
We have not yet published a documented project in Kansas. 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 Kansas.
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
