Drone cleaning uses a remotely piloted drone fitted with a pressure-washing or soft-washing system to clean commercial roofs, windows, facades, and signage from the air. Godwin Facility Services pioneered drone cleaning across Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, and the Southeast, eliminating the need for scaffolding, lifts, or ladders on most jobs.
An aerial platform for high-pressure & softwash cleaning
Our drones are fitted with either a high-pressure or soft-wash system, piloted by a trained operator who works the entire roofline, facade, or window bank from a fixed ground position — no one goes up, nothing goes on the roof.
- Roof cleaning without foot traffic on the roof
- High-rise window & facade cleaning
- Signage, solar panel & structure cleaning
- Precision-controlled spray to protect landscaping
Drone cleaning vs. traditional methods
Safety First
No technicians on ladders, lifts, or scaffolding at height — the single biggest source of injury risk in exterior cleaning.
Lower Cost
No lift rental, scaffolding setup, or multi-day crew scheduling — drone jobs typically move faster with a smaller footprint.
Grounds Protection
No heavy equipment driving across lawns or landscaping to reach the building — the drone flies straight to the surface.
Faster Turnaround
Clean large rooflines and facades in a fraction of the time, with less disruption to tenants, staff, and customers.
Drone cleaning questions
What is a cleaning drone?
A cleaning drone is a remotely piloted aircraft fitted with a pressure-washing or soft-washing system, used to clean roofs, windows, facades, and signage on commercial buildings from the air instead of scaffolding, lifts, or ladders.
How high can a cleaning drone reach?
Cleaning drones can reach the roofline and upper facades of most multi-story commercial and industrial buildings, well beyond what a standard ladder or single lift can safely access.
Is drone cleaning more expensive than traditional cleaning?
Drone cleaning often costs less than renting lifts or scaffolding and scheduling a multi-day crew at height, because it moves faster and needs fewer people on site. Final pricing depends on building height, surface area, and access.
What happens to the plants and landscaping below during drone cleaning?
Because the drone operates from the air with a controlled, directed spray, landscaping and grounds below are far less likely to be damaged than with ground equipment, heavy lifts, or scaffolding traffic.
