Where we work in Hattiesburg
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 Hattiesburg are university and school campuses, hospitals and medical campuses, office towers, municipal and public buildings, industrial and logistics buildings and apartment communities.
University of Southern Mississippi
The Hattiesburg campus covers 300 acres and enrolled 14,606 students, with large venues including the 36,000-seat M.M. Roberts Stadium and the four-story Thad Cochran Center.
Hospital district
Forrest General Hospital is listed at 473 beds and Merit Health Wesley at 167, giving the city two acute-care campuses within a few miles of each other.
Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District
The 25-block Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood District was listed on the National Register in 1980 and named one of the Great Places in America in 2011, with over ninety percent of its houses substantially renovated.
Local historic districts
Five locally designated districts sit under the Historic Conservation Commission: Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood, North Main Street, The Oaks, Newman-Buschman Railroad and Parkhaven.
Hattiesburg building stock
Hattiesburg recorded 48,730 residents in 2020 and is the fifth most populous city in Mississippi, serving as the regional hub of the Pine Belt.
The University of Southern Mississippi's 300-acre Hattiesburg campus served 14,606 students and includes the 36,000-seat M.M. Roberts Stadium, a four-story union addition and the Cook Library.
Hattiesburg's acute-care stock is listed at 473 beds for Forrest General Hospital and 167 beds for Merit Health Wesley.
Employers with facilities in Hattiesburg include Kohler Engines, BAE Systems, Berry Plastics and a Regions Financial operations center staffed by close to 500 people.

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 Hattiesburg
Hattiesburg averages 64.44 inches of precipitation a year with a July daily mean near 81.5 degrees and only about 0.9 inches of snow, so humidity rather than freeze cycles drives algae and mildew on exteriors.
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 Hattiesburg
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.
Hattiesburg sits near Camp Shelby, one of the largest National Guard training sites in the country, which carries restricted and special-use airspace, and Mississippi's controlled airspace requires LAANC authorization before launch.
Mississippi bars a political subdivision from regulating the operation, airspace, altitude, flight paths or equipment of an uncrewed aircraft, so Hattiesburg controls only launch and landing on city-owned property plus general nuisance and trespass rules.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks prohibits operating aircraft on state park grounds without written permission from its executive director.
Hattiesburg has held a state stormwater permit for its municipal separate storm sewer system since 2002, and its illicit discharge program exists to keep non-stormwater wastes from commercial and institutional sites out of the storm sewers.
Exterior alterations inside Hattiesburg's historic districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Conservation Commission, which meets monthly and takes applications twelve days ahead, separately from any building permit.
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 Mississippi page. See also where drones need permits.
