Where we work in New Hampshire
Manchester
State's most populous city and home to New Hampshire's tallest buildings, including the 275 foot City Hall Plaza and 259 foot Brady Sullivan Plaza, giving it the state's densest concentration of commercial high-rise exterior area.
Nashua
Second largest city in the state and part of the Boston combined metro area, with a substantial office and light-industrial commercial base.
Concord
State capital with a government and institutional building stock that includes state office buildings requiring regular exterior maintenance.
Dover
Seacoast region commercial hub with a mix of historic mill buildings and newer office development.
Season and scheduling
The practical exterior washing window runs from about early May to early October, between Manchester's average last spring frost and first fall frost.
Manchester's average first freeze is early October, and the average last freeze is early May.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather, and recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
How we operate in New Hampshire
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
New Hampshire has no state law preempting local drone rules, though most cities have not enacted standalone civilian drone ordinances and the state's Municipal Association frames town authority around ordinary privacy, trespass, and ground-use powers consistent with federal control of the airspace.
New Hampshire has no standalone statute banning drone flights over power plants, dams, or water treatment facilities; only correctional facilities carry an infrastructure-specific overflight restriction under RSA 644:23.
RSA 644:9 criminalizes unlawful observation or recording of intimate areas or private spaces without consent, and the state's drone statute, RSA 644:23, cross-references it so a drone flight violating that privacy law is an independent drone offense carrying misdemeanor or felony exposure.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport anchors Class C airspace over the Manchester metro, and LAANC authorization is required before launching a drone within the controlled rings; far southern New Hampshire also falls under the Boston Class B shelf.
New Hampshire does not require a state general contractor license; the state only issues licenses for specialty trades like electricians and plumbers, so pressure washing and general contracting are handled through local permitting rather than state licensing.
Manchester's storm water ordinance defines an illegal connection as one that allows wash water and other non storm water discharges to enter the storm drain system.
Building stock
Manchester is home to all three New Hampshire buildings over 200 feet, led by the 275 foot City Hall Plaza, the tallest building in the state, followed by the 259 foot Brady Sullivan Plaza and the 223 foot Wall Street Tower Apartments.
What to expect in New Hampshire: two documented projects
We have not yet published a documented project in New Hampshire. 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 New Hampshire.
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
