Commercial Building Cleaning in Miami & South Florida

Almost never. The ground crew sets up in a single parking space or service drive and uses spotters with brief perimeter cones only directly under the active flight zone. Pedestrian access and lobby operations continue normally.

A drone cleans 5–10 floors per day depending on facade complexity. Most 20–40 story Miami buildings finish in 1–3 days — compared to 5–14 days for rope access or swing-stage crews.

A tethered industrial drone — flown by an FAA Part 107 commercial pilot — carries a low-pressure soft-wash spray head fed by a ground pump. The drone applies biodegradable detergent and pure-water rinse to a building's facade from the air, reaching the full envelope without scaffolding, swing stages, or boom lifts. Cleaning is finished in 1–3 days vs 1–2 weeks for traditional methods.

Glass curtain walls, stucco, EIFS, painted concrete, GFRC, precast concrete, brick, metal cladding (aluminum composite, anodized, painted steel), porcelain rainscreens, and architectural signage. Each substrate gets matched chemistry — what cleans pollution off painted EIFS is not what cleans salt haze off mirrored glass.

Yes. Low-pressure soft-wash and pure-water rinse are safe for low-E coatings, ceramic-frit, tinted, mirrored, and laminated glass — and they're safer than ground pressure washing for EIFS, which gets damaged by high PSI. No coating-stripping chemicals, no impact damage.

Most Miami commercial cleaning projects fall between $1,500 and $25,000 depending on facade square footage, substrate, and access. That's typically 30–60% less than scaffolding or boom-lift work on the same building because there's no rigging, no permits, and no lift rental.

Mid-rise (4–10 stories): 1–2 days. High-rise (10–30 stories): 2–4 days. Super-tall (30+ stories): 3–5 days. The drone covers 5–10 floors per day vs 1–2 floors per day for traditional crews — and there's no multi-day rigging setup beforehand.

Almost never. The ground crew sets up in a single parking space or service drive. Spotters use brief perimeter cones only directly under the active flight zone. Pedestrian access, porte-cochère drop-offs, and lobby operations continue normally throughout the project.

Most Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach municipalities do not require special permits for FAA Part 107 operations on private commercial property. We handle building-management approvals, certificates of insurance, and FAA airspace clearance (LAANC) before mobilization.

Yes. Most of urban Miami sits in controlled airspace near MIA. We file LAANC airspace authorization with the FAA before mobilization and carry the certificate on every job site. Our pilots operate under 14 CFR Part 107.

We carry $2M commercial general liability plus dedicated UAS (drone) liability and hull coverage. Certificates of insurance naming the building owner, property manager, and HOA or condo board are issued before mobilization on every project.

Yes. There's no swing stage outside windows, no scaffolding in the lobby, no boom lift in the porte-cochère, and no crew over the sidewalk. Tenants get a 48-hour notice, the drone flies one elevation at a time, and occupancy continues. Pre-dawn or evening flights are available for offices.

Oceanfront properties in Brickell, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, and Hallandale Beach need quarterly cleaning because of salt haze and tropical mildew. Inland Class A office and retail across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach run cleanly on a 6-month or annual schedule.

Yes. Every project includes 4K aerial footage and photo documentation of every elevation, delivered to the property manager. Insurance carriers, condo boards, HOAs, and asset managers routinely request and accept this documentation.

Choose drone cleaning when the building is over 4 stories, when occupancy can't be disrupted, when the facade is glass/EIFS/painted stucco that high-pressure damages, or when the property sits in dense urban blocks where staging space for a 60–125 ft lift is unavailable. Boom lifts still win on low-rise single-story strips with a flat parking lot and no airspace constraint. Rope access still wins on specific anchor-equipped sealant-replacement jobs where the work requires hands on the surface — not for cleaning.

Oceanfront properties from Brickell to Hallandale Beach: quarterly. Coastal but not directly oceanfront (Edgewater, Wynwood, Aventura inland): every 6 months. Inland Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Class A office and retail: annually. Salt-air corrosion of metal cladding and EIFS staining both accelerate when cleaning cycles slip past those intervals — and most facade warranties require documented maintenance.

Yes. The drone holds position at any elevation and angle, so louvers, vertical fins, horizontal sunshades, decorative parapets, illuminated signage cabinets, and recessed soffits all get reached without lift extension or rope rigging. These are the surfaces traditional methods skip or undercharge for — and the surfaces where dirt accumulates first.

Our drones operate in sustained winds up to 25–30 mph and through light rain (rain doesn't affect soft-wash chemistry). For severe weather, lightning within 10 miles, or sustained gusts over 35 mph, we reschedule to the next available slot within 48 hours. Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) from FAA — common during presidential travel or major Miami events — get checked daily and flights are rescheduled as needed. There is never a weather-related cancellation fee.

Most commercial GL carriers price scaffolding and boom-lift cleaning at a higher risk tier than drone cleaning because there's no crew at height and no rigging over public sidewalks. We issue a COI naming the building owner, property manager, and HOA/condo board before mobilization, including $2M CGL plus dedicated UAS aviation liability. Property managers routinely report easier annual carrier renewals after switching to drone cleaning.

No. Soft-wash chemistry plus pure-water rinse is rated safe for 3M and SunTek window films, vinyl signage and decals, painted aluminum railings, fabric balcony screens, and Solarban low-E coatings. The reason is the same on every substrate: chemistry does the work, not pressure. There is no impact force and no abrasion.

Yes — and it usually adds zero cost. While the drone is staged, we extend the cleaning to building signage, illuminated cabinet signs, address numerals, marquees, porte-cochère soffits, and street-level lobby glass. Bundling avoids a second mobilization fee and keeps the entire street view consistent in one visit.
