Exterior Washing

Tampa Bay Droneworx brings low-pressure, soft-wash cleaning to building exteriors of every size — from towering commercial facades to single-family homes — without ladders, scaffolding, or lift rentals. Using FAA-certified drone technology, we safely remove dirt, algae, salt film, and grime from siding, stucco, brick, and metal panels, restoring curb appeal while protecting the surfaces underneath.

Every Exterior Surface, One Service

  • Siding — vinyl, wood, fiber cement, and metal

  • Stucco & EIFS — soft-washed at low pressure so the finish isn't damaged

  • Brick & masonry — removes algae, mildew, and staining without eroding mortar joints

  • Concrete — driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks

  • Decks & fences — wood and composite

  • Multi-story & commercial facades — apartment buildings, offices, retail centers, HOAs

  • Hard-to-reach areas — gables, dormers, second- and third-story walls, areas behind landscaping or fencing that ground equipment can't get to

Why Drone Washing Beats a Traditional Crew

1. It's Fast, Really Fast

A drone covers hundreds of square feet per minute and works continuously from a single vantage point, instead of a crew repositioning ladders, hoses, and lifts every few feet. Most residential exteriors are done in hours, not a full day — and multi-story commercial buildings that would normally require scaffolding or lift rentals (and the days of setup that come with them) get finished in a fraction of the time.

2. Nothing Gets Trampled or Crushed

This is the one homeowners care about most and almost no one talks about: our drone works from the air, so there's no ladder punching through flower beds, no hose dragged across freshly mulched landscaping, and no crew walking back and forth across your lawn or garden all day. If you've invested in landscaping, this matters — a lot.

3. No One's On a Ladder or Lift

Falls from ladders and lifts are one of the leading causes of injury in the exterior cleaning industry. Because the drone does the climbing, there's no crew member exposed to fall risk — which also means fewer liability concerns for property managers and HOAs.

4. Documented Before-and-After Footage

Every job includes aerial photo and video documentation of the work. You get visual proof of the results — genuinely useful for HOA compliance, property management reporting, insurance documentation, or just before/after photos to enjoy.

5. Reaches What Ground Equipment Can't

Second-story gables, steep rooflines, areas boxed in by landscaping or fencing, tall commercial facades — the drone gets to spots that would otherwise require extra equipment, extra time, or just get skipped.

6. Less Water and Chemical Runoff

Because the drone applies cleaning solution and rinse water precisely where it's needed instead of blanket-spraying an area, jobs typically use less water and less detergent than a traditional pressure washer — better for your plants, your soil, and nearby storm drains.

7. Minimal Disruption

No scaffolding to erect, no lift blocking a parking lot or driveway for days, no crew walking through occupied spaces. For commercial properties, that means less interruption to tenants, customers, or employees.
