Where we work in Oklahoma
Oklahoma City
The 844-foot Devon Energy Center, completed in 2012, is Oklahoma City's tallest building; downtown has 25 buildings of 200 feet or more.
Tulsa
Tulsa has 28 buildings taller than 200 feet, 12 of them past 300 feet, led by the 667-foot BOK Tower completed in 1975, giving it Oklahoma's largest skyline.
Norman
Norman has no dedicated drone ordinance chapter, and the University of Oklahoma stadium carries a federal temporary flight restriction extending 3 nautical miles on game days.
Season and scheduling
Oklahoma City averages a freeze-free window from mid-April to late October, about 201 days, based on 1991-2020 NOAA climate data.
Oklahoma City's average first freeze is late October, and the average last freeze is mid-April.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather, and recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
How we operate in Oklahoma
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Okla. Stat. tit. 3, 3-322 prohibits operating a drone below 400 feet over fenced or signed critical-infrastructure facilities, such as refineries, power plants, and water treatment facilities; a misdemeanor with up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, plus civil liability.
Okla. Stat. tit. 21, 1743 makes it a misdemeanor to fly with intent to eavesdrop or surveil, to photograph someone with a reasonable expectation of privacy, or to land on private property without permission, with a carve-out for commercial operators who incidentally capture people.
Oklahoma has no explicit statutory preemption of local drone rules, but cities and counties typically limit their authority to launch and landing from public property rather than airspace itself.
Oklahoma City: Oklahoma City Municipal Code Chapter 60 disturbance authority applies to drone activity, and Tinker Air Force Base maintains a 5-mile no-drone zone.
Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City and Tulsa International Airport both sit under Class C airspace, and LAANC authorization is required for drone operations in either.
Oklahoma's Construction Industries Board licenses only plumbing, electrical, mechanical, roofing, and inspection trades at the state level; pressure washing, soft washing, and exterior cleaning are not regulated trades, so licensing depends on local city or county rules.
Oklahoma City's stormwater ordinance prohibits illicit discharges to the municipal separate storm sewer system, naming wash water and cleaning discharges among the non-stormwater materials covered alongside spills and dumping.
Building stock
Oklahoma City has 25 buildings of 200 feet or taller, with 8 exceeding 300 feet.
Tulsa has 28 buildings taller than 200 feet, with 12 exceeding 300 feet, giving it the largest skyline of any Oklahoma city.
What to expect in Oklahoma: two documented projects
We have not yet published a documented project in Oklahoma. 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 Oklahoma.
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

- 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
