How does a window cleaning drone clean a high-rise without rope access?+
A tethered industrial drone carries twin pure-water nozzles fed by a ground-based pump pushing de-ionized water up the tether. The drone flies pane-by-pane up each elevation while the pilot stays safely on the ground. Zero rigging, zero anchor inspection, zero crew at height.
What's the tallest Miami high-rise you can clean with a drone?+
Our tethered system safely cleans towers up to approximately 50–60 stories (about 600 ft) without any roof rigging. That covers the vast majority of Brickell, Edgewater, Sunny Isles, Aventura, and Miami Beach residential and Class A office stock.
Is drone cleaning approved for low-E, tinted, and mirrored glass on Class A towers?+
Yes. De-ionized water (0 TDS) plus biodegradable soft-wash detergent is safe for low-E coatings, ceramic-frit, tinted, mirrored, and laminated glass — the glass types common on Brickell, Sunny Isles, and Boca Raton Class A buildings. No high-PSI impact, no coating-stripping chemicals.
How much does drone high-rise window cleaning cost in Miami?+
Typically $0.15–$0.25 per square foot of glass, or approximately $200–$500 per floor depending on glass area on a fixed-price basis. Full-tower projects on 20–40 story buildings run $8,000–$25,000 — roughly 30–50% less than rope access on equivalent scope because there's no rigging, no anchor inspection, and no per-drop crew time.
How long does it take to clean a 30-story Miami tower?+
Most 20–40 story Miami high-rises finish in 1–3 days. The drone covers 5–10 floors per day depending on glass square footage, frit pattern, and wind. Rope crews average one floor per crew per day on the same building.
Do you handle LAANC and FAA airspace authorization in Miami?+
Yes. Most of urban Miami sits in controlled airspace near MIA. We file LAANC airspace authorization for every flight before mobilization, and our pilots carry the certificate of authorization on every job site under FAA Part 107.
What insurance is required to clean high-rise windows in Miami?+
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 are issued before mobilization on every Miami high-rise project.
Can you clean windows while the building is occupied?+
Yes. There's no swing stage outside windows, no rope crew over the sidewalk, no boom lift in the porte-cochère. Tenants get a brief notification, the drone flies one elevation at a time, and operations rarely interrupt occupancy. Pre-dawn or evening flights are available for offices.
How often should oceanfront Miami high-rises be cleaned?+
Quarterly. Salt mist from Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic builds up fast on east-facing elevations in Brickell, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, and Hallandale Beach. Inland Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach towers run cleanly on a 6-month schedule.
Does the drone work in Miami's wind and afternoon storms?+
Our industrial drones are rated for sustained 25–30 mph winds. We monitor NOAA marine and aviation forecasts and schedule around afternoon thunderstorms, sea-breeze fronts, and any tropical system. Operations halt above 30 mph or lightning within 10 miles.
What's included in a high-rise window cleaning quote?+
Site survey, flight plan, LAANC airspace coordination, tenant notification template, soft-wash + pure-water rinse on every pane, 4K aerial proof-of-clean footage, and COIs for the owner and property manager. Pricing is fixed after the survey — no surprise add-ons.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for Miami condo and office towers?+
Yes. Quarterly contracts are the most common in Miami because of salt loading. Annual and bi-annual contracts are available for inland and Class B properties. Maintenance pricing drops per-visit cost by 15–25% versus one-time cleans.
