FloState's drone soft-washing program is built for the Tampa addresses that ladder-and-bucket crews can't safely service. Tampa waterfront mansions with high gables, historic homes where ladder pressure damages original gutters, and high-rise towers where lift rental costs more than the entire wash. FAA Part 107-licensed pilots, soft-wash chemistry that's safe on tile and shingle, no scaffolding, no liability transfer to the property owner. The cleanest soft wash for the toughest-to-reach surfaces in Tampa.
Drone Soft-Wash Services
Professional exterior cleaning and sealing for homes and businesses across Pinellas and Hillsborough County. We use commercial-grade equipment and proven techniques.
High-pressure cleaning for driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, patios, and commercial flatwork. We remove dirt, oil stains, algae, and years of Florida buildup.
Low-pressure chemical treatment for roofs, house exteriors, and delicate surfaces. Kills mold, mildew, and algae at the root — results last years, not weeks.

Drone-mounted soft washing for roofs, multi-story buildings, and hard-to-reach surfaces. No ladders, no scaffolding — safer, faster, and more thorough than traditional methods.
Tampa's mix of three-story estates, historic homes with original copper gutters, and high-rise towers makes it the metro most in need of drone soft-washing. We cover every neighborhood every week.

Commercial drone certification — federal law for paid drone work. Most Tampa pressure-washing crews don't have it.
Property owners off the hook for ladder slip-and-fall. Insurance carriers prefer drone for elevated work.
Three-story Tampa estates, mid-rise towers, church steeples — all reachable without scaffolding.
Same surfactant soft-wash as our ground work. Tampa landscaping stays healthy.
"Came out the same day to quote our driveway and the salt-stained pool deck. The travertine looks brand new. Easy to work with, fairly priced, on time."
"Historic-district bungalow — brick walkway, original wood fence. They knew exactly which pressure to use. Zero damage, huge difference. Hired again for our roof."
Drone soft-washing requires pre-flight FAA airspace check and a property survey. We map the flight path before quoting.

Common questions Tampa homeowners and property managers ask about drone soft-washing.
Yes — FloState carries active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification. Required for any paid drone operation in the U.S. We can show the certificate to any homeowner or HOA before flying.
Yes — three-story residential is in the standard drone reach envelope. We work 50-150 feet for most Tampa residential. Tile roofs, dormer eaves, and gable peaks all routine.
Yes — Tampa has controlled airspace around its airports and military installations. We pre-check every address against the FAA's B4UFLY map and request authorization where needed. Some addresses require advance authorization, which adds 1-3 days to the schedule.
Lift rental in Tampa runs $1,000-1,500/day plus a flagger if a sidewalk is involved. Drone soft-wash is typically $400-700 for the same elevated reach, no curb damage, no sidewalk closure, no insurance transfer to property owner.
Yes — that's the standard package. Two-tech crew: one flying drone for elevated surfaces, the other doing rod-fed and ground-level work. Whole property in 2-3 hours typical.
Send the address and photos of the elevated surfaces. FAA pre-flight check within 48 hours, written quote the day after.
