Where we work in Green Bay
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 Green Bay are hospitals and medical campuses, university and school campuses, hotels and resorts, industrial and logistics buildings, office towers and retail centers.
Stadium district
Lambeau Field seats 81,441, and the Titletown development just west of it covers about 34 acres of hotel, clinic, restaurant and mixed use buildings.
Hospital campuses
Bellin Health employs about 4,500 people in Green Bay and Aurora BayCare Medical Center about 2,297.
University of Wisconsin-Green Bay

Green Bay building stock
Green Bay counted 107,395 residents at the 2020 census, with a 2024 estimate of 106,311, and is the third most populous city in Wisconsin.
The largest employers in the city are healthcare and logistics operations, led by Bellin Health at about 4,500 employees, Schneider National at 3,769 and Humana at 3,190.
The 700 acre University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus carries residence halls, academic buildings, a library and performing arts venues on the northeast side of the city.
The 10,200 seat Resch Center sits across the street from Lambeau Field, next to the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena, forming a cluster of large venue exteriors.
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 Green Bay
Green Bay averages 31.61 inches of precipitation and 55.6 inches of snow a year, with January averaging 16.6 degrees and July 69.1, so exteriors sit under snow and ice melt for months at a time.
The Green Bay Botanical station averages a last spring frost on May 13 and a first fall frost on October 2, a frost free window of about 141 days.
Green Bay's average first freeze is early October, and the average last freeze is mid-May. These are averages; the survey confirms the window for your building.
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 Green Bay
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.
Austin Straubel International Airport carries Class C airspace with a control tower staffed from early morning to late evening, and Green Bay Approach handles traffic over the city.
Green Bay's code bars drone flights inside the boundaries of a designated special event while that event is running, unless law enforcement or the event organizer authorizes it.
The Green Bay Department of Public Works issues a Right of Way Obstruction Permit and an Excavation Permit for work that occupies or obstructs a street, sidewalk or right of way.
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 Wisconsin page. See also where drones need permits and cities with facade inspection ordinances.
