Where we work in Nebraska
Omaha

Lincoln

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

Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather, and recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
How we operate in Nebraska
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Nebraska has no blanket state preemption of local drone rules; cities may regulate takeoff and landing on property they own but not airspace itself.
Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-521 makes it second-degree criminal trespass to fly a drone over property intending to observe a person without consent in a place of solitude, a Class III misdemeanor.
Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-311.08 makes unlawful intrusion by drone, including recording someone in a private place, a Class I misdemeanor, escalating to a felony on repeat offense.
Omaha: Omaha Parks and Recreation bars drone takeoff and landing in city parks unless the aircraft is under 250 grams or the operator holds a permit; commercial operators need a permit.
Lincoln: Lincoln Municipal Code Chapter 4.28 sets local unmanned-aircraft provisions aligned with FAA rules, and Lincoln Airport's controlled airspace covers much of central Lincoln including the State Capitol grounds.
Eppley Airfield anchors Class C controlled airspace over Omaha; LAANC authorization is required before launch in the controlled rings.
Nebraska does not require a state contractor license for pressure or soft washing; a local city or county business license may still apply.
Omaha's storm sewer ordinance lists water from pressure washing, steam cleaning and hand scrubbing of building exteriors and outdoor surfaces among discharges prohibited from entering the storm sewer system.
Building stock
Omaha's tallest building, the First National Bank Tower, rises 634 feet; a planned Mutual of Omaha headquarters tower is set to exceed it at 677 feet.
What to expect in Nebraska: two documented projects
We have not yet published a documented project in Nebraska. 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 Nebraska.
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
