About the Service
How does drone cleaning work?
A trained pilot operates a cleaning drone from the ground. The drone carries a hose connected to a chemistry tank and pump on the operator’s truck. Cleaning fluid is delivered through the drone’s nozzle at low pressure against the building exterior. At StratoClean, our patent-pending steerable nozzle aims the cleaning stream into corners and recessed details by articulating the wand alone, while the drone holds a stable 2-meter standoff from the surface. No ladders, no scaffolding, no foot traffic on the surface.
What surfaces can a drone clean?
Asphalt shingle and tile roofs, metal roofing, painted and stucco facades, concrete and masonry walls, glass curtain walls and windows, solar panels, balcony undersides, parking-garage exteriors, perforated architectural panels (including stainless steel), and pool screen enclosures. We do not apply our StratoShield protective coating to glass or solar panels — those surfaces have their own cleaning protocols.
How tall a building can you clean?
StratoClean services mid-rise and high-rise buildings up to 300 feet with current platforms. Building height is limited by FAA regulations on aircraft weight class plus the practical weight of the hose and cleaning fluid being lifted. For taller properties we coordinate alternative approaches in writing before any work begins.
What’s the difference between soft wash and drone cleaning?
Soft wash is a cleaning method (low-pressure chemistry-based vs. high-pressure abrasive). Drone cleaning is a delivery system (aerial vs. ladder/scaffolding). StratoClean does drone-delivered soft washing — combining both: low-pressure chemistry safe for shingles and stucco, delivered from the air without crews at height.
Safety & Damage
Is drone cleaning safe for my roof?
Yes — significantly safer than traditional methods for the roof itself. Walking on shingles causes granule loss, pressed-down tabs, and can void manufacturer warranties. Pressure washing strips granules and seals. Drone-delivered soft wash is the ARMA-recommended approach: low-pressure chemistry that kills biological growth at the cellular level without abrasion, foot traffic, or anchor damage.
Will drone cleaning damage my shingles?
No. Our chemistry and pressure are calibrated to ARMA-endorsed soft-wash specifications for asphalt shingle. We are manufacturer-warranty compliant with GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. Letters of compliance are provided with every quote.
Does drone cleaning void my roof warranty?
No, when performed by a manufacturer-warranty-compliant operator like StratoClean. The opposite often applies: many shingle manufacturers (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning) require routine roof cleaning as part of normal maintenance to keep warranties valid. Walking on the roof or using harsh chemicals can void coverage — we do neither.
Will drone cleaning kill my plants or harm my pets?
Our chemistry is non-fluorinated, biodegradable, contains zero PFAS, and is plant-safe and pet-safe once dry (typically 2–4 hours after application). The drone delivery system reduces overspray drift by roughly 30% compared to ground-pump methods. Pets should be kept indoors during application and for two hours after.
Is the chemistry environmentally safe?
Yes. Our blends are non-fluorinated, biodegradable, and contain zero PFAS, fluorine, chromium, or heavy metals. They are approved for use on environmentally-sensitive properties including coastal preserves and reservoir-adjacent communities. SDS documentation is filed with property management before every job.
Can drone cleaning damage solar panels?
No. Solar panels are cleaned with deionized water and a panel-safe surfactant blend — no harsh chemicals, no abrasive contact. We do not apply our StratoShield protective coating to solar panels because the surface doesn’t benefit from that chemistry. Drone delivery is gentler than ladder-based cleaning because there’s no risk of frame or wiring contact.
Are StratoClean operators insured?
Yes — fully insured. We provide certificate of insurance documentation directly to property owners or managers on request. Our pilots are FAA Part 107 certified and recurrent-trained on a custom-built drone-cleaning simulator before any billable flight.
Chemistry & Results
What chemistry do you use?
Our standard soft wash uses an industry-standard chlorine-class blend with surfactants and a brightening agent, applied at low pressure. Our premium StratoShield service uses a proprietary chlorine-free blend that disrupts biological growth at the cellular level and leaves a long-acting residual barrier suppressing regrowth for 30–36 months. Both are non-fluorinated, biodegradable, and PFAS-free.
Will drone cleaning remove black streaks?
Yes. The dark streaking on Florida roofs is almost always caused by Gloeocapsa magma — a cyanobacterium that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Both our standard soft wash and our StratoShield treatment kill the cyanobacteria at the cellular level. The dead growth then weathers off over the following weeks.
Will the cleaning leave streaks on my windows?
No. Window cleaning uses deionized water plus a streak-free surfactant blend in a controlled overlap pattern across each pane. The deionized water leaves no mineral residue, so windows dry without squeegeeing. Hard-water etching that built up before treatment may require a separate restoration pass.
How long do drone cleaning results last?
A standard soft wash on a Florida roof typically lasts 6–8 months before light re-growth becomes visible, depending on canopy cover, salt-air proximity, and humidity. Our premium StratoShield treatment carries a 2-year written warranty and typically holds 30–36 months in real-world Florida conditions — replacing 3–6 standard wash cycles over the same period.
How long does the cleaning visible results take to appear?
Standard soft wash: visible results the day we leave. StratoShield: visible lightening within the first few days, accelerated by sun and rain. Deeper-rooted growth (lichen, heavy moss) weathers off over the following weeks. Most properties see majority improvement in 1–4 weeks and a fully clean finish in 6–12 weeks.
How often should I clean my roof in Florida?
Most Florida coastal properties benefit from a soft-wash cleaning every 6–8 months. Heavily shaded properties, retention-pond-adjacent buildings, and properties with mature tree canopy may need more frequent intervals. If you choose StratoShield once, the 2-year warranty + 30–36 month real-world life means you skip 3–6 cleaning cycles.
Will I need a second cleaning visit?
Standard soft wash is typically a single visit. Heavy lichen, moss, or deeply established growth may benefit from a second pass to fully remove the dead biomass — though most of that weathers off naturally over 4–8 weeks. StratoShield is single-visit by design and warrantied for 2 years.
Cost & Pricing
How much does drone cleaning cost?
Pricing is scoped per property during a free walk-through, but here’s the math in whole numbers. A typical 100-window mid-rise condominium runs about $3,500 with traditional rope-access or swing-stage window cleaning. The same job by drone runs about $1,000 — over 70% savings. A 50,000 sq ft commercial facade soft wash that would run $25,000 with boom-lift crews and scaffolding (factoring in lift rental, at-height insurance overhead, and a 4–5 day crew) typically comes in around $10,000 with our drone platform — roughly 60% savings. On a community tile roof, the savings are larger when you factor in cracked-tile replacement risk on traditional walking-the-tile crews. Across our book, clients save 30 to 70% versus traditional methods. There are no surprise quotes — the number you see is the number you pay.
What’s the ROI of drone cleaning vs. traditional methods?
Drone cleaning typically costs 40–60% less than swing-stage or rope-access crews on multi-story buildings because the work happens in days instead of weeks with no scaffolding rental, lift staging, or insurance risk premium. For one-time service the savings show up immediately. For recurring service, switching to StratoShield can reduce 2-year exterior maintenance spend by 30–50%.
Are there any extra fees beyond the per-sq-ft rate?
Two possible adders. (1) Water Supply Fee — $1,500 flat per visit on multi-building soft-wash jobs where StratoClean trucks in municipal water. If your property supplies water from on-site hose bibbs, this fee is waived. (2) Optional StratoShield Hot-Water Rinse — $1,500 flat for immediate visible polish (voids the 2-year warranty; real-world coating life drops to 14–18 months). Both are clearly itemized on every quote.
Scheduling & Logistics
How long does a typical job take?
Single-family roof: a few hours on site. Multi-building HOA compound or commercial property: typically 1–3 days. Stadium or campus-scale job: 3–7 days. Time on site depends on total square footage, weather windows, and substrate complexity. We confirm the schedule 14 days out and the pre-flight call 48 hours before.
Can you work after hours or on Sundays?
Yes. Off-hours service — Sundays, early mornings, overnight — is available at no premium for properties that can’t absorb daytime disruption (schools, hospitals during peak care hours, hotels during checkout, condos with strict resident-disruption rules).
What happens if it rains on my scheduled day?
We reschedule. Soft-wash chemistry needs a minimum dry-weather window to bond and set. StratoShield specifically needs approximately 12 hours of dry weather post-application before rain. If rain is forecast, we move the appointment to the next clear window and notify you in writing before mobilizing.
Do you work in windy conditions?
Up to FAA-defined operational wind limits for our airframe — typically sustained winds under 20 knots with gusts under 25. Above that, the 2-meter anti-collision buffer system refuses close approach and we delay the work. Safety is mechanical, not pilot-discretionary.
How do I book a service?
Three options. (1) Download the StratoClean app on the Apple App Store — quote requests take under 60 seconds. (2) Call us at (786) 244-0640 for same-day quote estimates. (3) Email info@stratoclean.com with your property address and we’ll respond within one business day with a free walk-through assessment offer.
Why StratoClean
What makes StratoClean different from other drone cleaners?
Four things competitors don’t have: (1) patent-pending steerable nozzle that articulates the cleaning stream independently of the aircraft — every other US drone cleaner has to maneuver the entire drone to aim fluid; (2) 6-motor hexacopter that lands safely on 5 motors if one fails (most US drone cleaners use 4-motor quads with no redundancy); (3) StratoShield 2-year warrantied service — the only one in Florida; (4) founder Marcelo Pena is a State of Florida Licensed Mold Expert, so our chemistry and protocols are calibrated by licensed expertise.
Are you really the only drone cleaner with a mobile app?
Yes — the StratoClean app on the Apple App Store is the first proprietary customer mobile application in the US drone-cleaning industry. Through the app you can request a quote, schedule recurring service, and track active jobs from your phone.
What does the patent-pending steerable nozzle actually do?
It aims the cleaning stream by articulating the wand itself, rather than repositioning the entire drone. Standard drone cleaners have to fly the aircraft into tight corners (eaves, balcony undersides, mullions) to aim their fixed nozzle — which is dangerous near building infrastructure. Our nozzle articulates from a stable 2-meter standoff, reaching corners safely without close-quarters maneuvering.
Why does the 6-motor hexacopter matter for me?
Single-motor failure on a 4-motor quadcopter means uncontrolled descent — often toward your building. A 6-motor hexacopter retains controlled flight on 5 motors and lands safely. Practically: lower risk of property damage, lower insurance exposure, and the platform is mechanically engineered to fail safely rather than rely on pilot reaction time.
StratoShield™ Specifics
What is StratoShield™?
StratoShield is our premium two-year warrantied cleaning service. A single drone-applied pass cleans biological growth and leaves a long-acting hydrophobic barrier that suppresses spore regrowth for 30–36 months. Backed by a written 2-year warranty: if biological growth returns within 24 months, we re-treat at no cost.
Is the StratoShield 2-year warranty really written?
Yes. The warranty is documented on every StratoShield job ticket and signed off between StratoClean and the property point-of-contact. If biological growth returns within 24 months of application on a StratoShield-treated surface, we re-treat at no cost. Actual re-treat rate runs under 6%.
Why is StratoShield more expensive than soft wash?
StratoShield uses a more expensive chemistry (chlorine-free, residual-barrier formulation) and is engineered for a 30–36 month outcome instead of a 6–8 month one. On a 2-year cost basis, StratoShield typically saves money because you skip 3–6 standard wash cycles over the same period.
Can I use StratoShield on any surface?
Most Florida exteriors — asphalt shingle and tile roofs, concrete and stucco walls, brick and masonry, metal roofing and architectural panels, painted and natural surfaces. We do not apply StratoShield to glass, solar panels, or polished metal — those surfaces don’t benefit from the protective barrier.
Credentials & Coverage
What certifications does StratoClean carry?
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate on every operator, MOT Certified, manufacturer-warranty compliant (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Carlisle TPO, GenFlex EPDM), ARMA-endorsed soft-wash chemistry for asphalt shingle. Founder Marcelo Pena holds a State of Florida Licensed Mold Expert credential.
Do you have patents on your technology?
Two provisional patent applications are filed with the USPTO: USPTO Application 64/049,730 (Patent Center 75531056) covering the fluid-steering drone nozzle attachment, and USPTO Application 64/049,441 (Patent Center 75515174) covering additional drone-cleaning safety technology. Both inventions are in the patent-pending stage.

More Questions
How long does drone roof cleaning take?
Most residential and mid-rise jobs are completed in a single day — typically 4 to 6 hours on-site including setup, chemistry application, dwell time, and rinse. Larger HOA communities or commercial properties may require 2 to 4 days depending on roof area and access patterns.
Does my insurance cover drone cleaning?
Drone cleaning does not normally affect your property insurance. We carry our own commercial general liability, commercial auto, and workers’ compensation coverage, and provide a certificate of insurance upon request. The work itself is non-contact and lower-risk than traditional at-height crews.
Can drone cleaning damage solar panels?
No. Our chemistry profile is engineered for solar panels and applied at low pressure from a hovering drone. There is no contact, no high-pressure water, and no risk to the cells, microinverters, or roof attachments. We document panel condition before and after every solar cleaning.
Is drone cleaning legal in Florida HOAs?
Yes. Florida HOA boards routinely contract drone-based exterior maintenance vendors. All flight operations are conducted under FAA Part 107 commercial rules. Most HOAs find that drone work fits more easily into their existing maintenance policies than scaffolding or rope-access work.
How does drone cleaning work on tile roofs?
Drone application is the right approach for tile because no foot traffic is required. Walking tile cracks it — drones do not walk. We apply ARMA-endorsed soft-wash chemistry from a 2-meter sensor stand-off, allow dwell time, and rinse. The result lifts Gloeocapsa magma, moss, and lichen at the cellular level.
What is the difference between StratoShield and standard soft wash?
Standard soft wash removes biological growth in a single application that typically lasts 6 to 8 months on Florida coastal properties. StratoShield is a premium single-application service that also leaves a long-acting hydrophobic protective layer — 30 to 36 months of real-world life — and is backed by a written 2-year warranty with free re-treatment if staining returns.
Do you clean during business hours?
Yes, drone application is quiet enough and quick enough to be performed during business hours for most properties. For hospitals, schools, hotels, and similar continuous-operation venues we routinely schedule early mornings, Sundays, or other off-peak windows at no premium.
What prep work do I need to do before a drone cleaning job?
Very little. We ask that vehicles be moved away from the immediate work zone, patio furniture pulled in a few feet if it sits directly against the building, and any windows be closed. We handle plant pre-rinse, ground crew staging, and post-job clean-up.
How is drone cleaning priced?
Pricing is by property, scoped during the free walk-through. Most clients save 30 to 60 percent compared to traditional methods like swing stages, scaffolding, or boom lifts. Recurring service is priced lower per cycle than one-off cleanings. There are no surprise quotes — the number you see is the number you pay.
Why is drone cleaning cheaper than traditional methods?
The cost difference is structural, not marketing. Traditional facade and roof cleaning is loaded with equipment rental (scaffolding $5K–$10K per facade, boom lifts $600–$1,400 per day, swing stages around $1,500 per day), larger crews of 4–6 people including safety officers and certified at-height specialists, at-height premium labor rates that run 2–3 times ground-level rates, specialty insurance riders for swing-stage and rope-access work, and multi-day mobilization with multiple trucks. A drone-applied job eliminates all of it. One pilot, one ground crew, one truck, one trailer. No scaffolds, no lifts, no rope access, no foot traffic on roofs. The drone is owned capital amortized across hundreds of jobs rather than equipment rental added to each invoice. The result is the same standard of work at 30 to 70 percent less cost, with no contact damage risk to the substrate.
Can you clean a mid-rise condominium?
Yes. Mid-rise and up-to-high-rise buildings up to 300 feet are core to what we do. Every window on every floor, full facade, and roof — single mobilization, no scaffolding, no swing stages, no roof anchors required.
How fast can you start after I approve?
Most residential and small commercial jobs are scheduled within one to two weeks of approval. Larger jobs and recurring contracts are coordinated around your operations calendar. Weather permitting, we can often start within days.
What chemicals do you use?
Our standard soft-wash service uses an industry-standard, biodegradable, non-fluorinated soft-wash blend with surfactants and a brightening agent. StratoShield uses our proprietary chlorine-free chemistry. Specific chemistry profiles vary by substrate (asphalt shingle, tile, stainless steel, concrete, paint) and are documented per ASTM D5589 on every job.
Are your chemicals safe for pets and landscaping?
Yes. Our chemistry is biodegradable, non-fluorinated, and approved for properties with environmental compliance requirements. We pre-rinse landscaping before application and post-rinse afterward. Pets should be kept indoors during application and may return to outdoor areas once the surface is dry — typically 2 to 4 hours.
Will the cleaning affect my building’s manufacturer warranty?
No. We are compliant with the major manufacturer warranty specifications including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Carlisle TPO, and GenFlex EPDM. Letters of compliance are provided with every quote so your warranty file is complete.
Do you do recurring service contracts?
Yes. Many of our HOA, hospital, condo, and commercial clients are on recurring schedules — typically every 6 to 8 months for coastal properties or annually for inland properties. There is no exclusivity requirement and no multi-year lock-in. Per-job purchase orders are accepted.
Can you clean stainless steel architectural panels?
Yes. Our most technically advanced engagements involve specialty chemistry profiles for stainless steel substrates — including the perforated stainless-steel facade panels at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, where we successfully removed salt-driven rust and oxidation touchlessly without damaging the brushed finish.
Do you remove paint oxidation and chalking?
Yes. Touchless removal of paint oxidation and chalking is one of our specialty services — useful on older campus buildings, HOA properties, and commercial buildings where appearance matters and a full repaint is not in the budget. We use a stainless-safe oxalic acid family chemistry, applied via drone, with a test patch first.
What happens if it rains during my scheduled service?
We watch the forecast in the days leading up to your service and will proactively reschedule at no additional charge if conditions are not workable for drone application. Same-day reschedules for unexpected weather are also offered at no charge.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. StratoClean is FAA Part 107 certified for all commercial drone operations, fully insured (general liability, commercial auto, workers’ compensation), and our chemistry approach is manufacturer-warranty compliant across all major roofing and facade systems. Documentation provided on request.
Can I see the work happen?
Absolutely. Drone application is highly visible — the drone hovers, applies, and rinses in real time and most clients find it more interesting to watch than expected. We routinely have property managers, board members, and facility directors observe the work. Your presence on-site is welcome but not required.
More Drone Cleaning Questions (May 2026 update)
What happens if the drone crashes or falls on my roof?
Our hexacopter has six-motor redundancy — it controls and lands safely on five motors if one fails. A 2-meter anti-collision sensor buffer mechanically prevents contact with any surface, even in gusts. Closer approaches are refused at the controller level, not left to pilot discretion. We carry commercial drone liability insurance and provide a Certificate of Insurance to property owners on request.
Are your pilots FAA Part 107 certified?
Yes. Every StratoClean pilot holds an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate with recurrent simulator-based training before deployment. Pilot certification documentation is included with every commercial quote and available on request for residential jobs.
Do you need LAANC airspace authorization near Miami International, Fort Lauderdale, or Palm Beach airports?
Yes — every job inside controlled airspace gets a LAANC authorization filed before flight. We handle the airspace clearance process for you. Most South Florida properties fall inside controlled airspace at some altitude, which is one of the reasons unlicensed operators can’t legally work this market.
Can you clean buildings taller than 400 feet?
Our standard ceiling under Part 107 is 400 feet AGL, which covers most South Florida high-rise condos and office towers. For taller properties we file a height waiver with the FAA — the wait is typically a few weeks and we manage the entire process.
How does drone cleaning compare to scaffolding, swing stages, and boom lifts?
Drone cleaning is typically 5-10x faster (a single day vs. a week of staging), avoids the insurance premium that swing stages and boom lifts carry, and produces zero crew-at-height risk. No platform shadows for residents during the day, no roof-anchor liability, no permitting hassle for a multi-day boom setup.
Do you also do ground-level pressure washing (driveways, sidewalks)?
We focus on airborne soft-wash work — driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks aren’t part of our standard service. We can recommend trusted ground-crew partners if you need a combined job.
Does your soft wash use bleach (sodium hypochlorite)?
Yes — our standard Soft Wash service uses an industry-standard sodium hypochlorite blend with surfactants and a brightening agent. It’s the cleaning chemistry preserved by every major shingle manufacturer’s warranty. For chlorine-free chemistry (hospitals, schools, environmentally-sensitive properties), see our StratoShield service.
Where does the runoff water go after cleaning?
Drone-applied soft wash uses a fraction of the water of pressure washing — most evaporates or dilutes into landscaping. We coordinate with HOAs and commercial sites that have specific containment requirements before the job and adjust pass patterns to keep runoff inside the property line.
Will a clean roof help with my Florida homeowners insurance?
A clean, well-maintained roof is one of the most-cited factors in Florida insurance non-renewal decisions. Many carriers require documented roof maintenance to maintain coverage. We provide written after-photos and service documentation you can submit to your carrier.
How fast does black streaking (Gloeocapsa magma algae) come back after a cleaning?
After a standard Soft Wash, Florida coastal conditions typically see new Gloeocapsa magma growth in 6-8 months — re-application keeps the roof clean on a recurring schedule. StratoShield’s long-acting residual stretches that interval to 30-36 months in most cases.
Will cleaning prevent moss and lichen regrowth?
Soft Wash kills the existing biofilm at the cellular level and slows regrowth. Moss and lichen specifically — rare in South Florida coastal climates but more common further inland — return slower than algae but eventually reseed from windborne spores. StratoShield’s residual is the strongest available option for long-term suppression.
Can you clean flat, TPO, or modified-bitumen commercial roofs?
Yes. We clean Carlisle TPO, GenFlex EPDM, and other single-ply membrane roofs with manufacturer-warranty-compliant chemistry. No foot traffic on the membrane preserves both the surface and the membrane warranty.
Can you clean stucco and EIFS facades?
Yes. Stucco and EIFS facades are among our most common commercial jobs. Drone application at low pressure cleans without driving water into the substrate, which is critical for EIFS systems where moisture intrusion is the failure mode.
Are koi ponds, pools, and vegetable gardens at risk during cleaning?
Our chemistry is biodegradable and applied at low pressure with reduced overspray. We mark sensitive features in the pre-flight walkthrough and adjust application patterns. Pets and vegetables are safe once dry (2-4 hours). For koi specifically, we cover the pond surface during chemistry passes and rinse the perimeter.
How is drone window cleaning priced?
Commercial drone window cleaning is priced per window. Buildings with fewer than 500 windows are at a higher per-window rate; properties with 500+ windows move to a lower flat per-window rate. Free walk-through to scope your specific property and provide an exact number.
Does a tile roof cost more to clean than a shingle roof?
Pricing depends on square footage and access complexity rather than material — tile and shingle are typically priced in the same band. The advantage of drone work on tile specifically is that no one walks the roof, so no tile gets cracked and your underlayment warranty stays intact.
Is your chemistry low-VOC and free of PFAS / fluorine / heavy metals?
Yes. Both Soft Wash and StratoShield blends are non-fluorinated and biodegradable, with zero PFAS, fluorine, chromium, or heavy metals. Full SDS is provided to property management before any commercial job.
Do you pre-wet or post-rinse landscaping around the building?
Drone application reduces overspray by roughly 30% compared to ground-pump methods, which significantly reduces the need for a pre-wet protocol. For chlorine-sensitive plants we adjust pass patterns; for environmentally-sensitive properties, StratoShield’s chlorine-free chemistry removes the question entirely.
What happens if the weather changes mid-job?
We schedule with an active forecast. If conditions deteriorate during a job — high gusts, an unexpected rain front — we suspend application, secure the staging area, and either resume after the front clears or reschedule via direct contact with the project lead. No charge for weather reschedules.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance to my HOA or property manager?
Yes. We’re fully insured for commercial drone operations and provide a Certificate of Insurance naming the HOA or property owner as additional insured before the job. The COI is sent with the pre-job package alongside the FAA airspace authorization documentation.
