Who we are

A family business, built for commercial work

Carolina Aerial Wash is a woman-owned, veteran-owned family business led by managing partners Mary and Ted Cisowski. Using an American-made cleaning drone, they reach high surfaces from the ground, reducing or eliminating work from ladders, lifts, and ropes. Each surface gets the method it needs, either a soft wash or a power wash matched to the material. The result is a cleaner structure, finished in a fraction of the time, with the safety and professionalism every job deserves.

The partners behind Carolina Aerial Wash

Mary Cisowski

Mary Cisowski

President

Mary Benbow Cisowski is a North Carolina native and a managing partner of Carolina Aerial Wash. She has spent more than twenty years in operations, communications, and development for nonprofit and federal organizations serving people across the country, work that has meant keeping teams, schedules, and commitments on track for groups that could not afford to have anything fall through the cracks. Much of that career was spent building and maintaining long-term relationships with the people who chose to invest in those organizations, which means she understands that keeping someone's trust year after year comes down to communicating clearly, doing what was promised, and being easy to reach when it matters. In her spare time, Mary enjoys volunteering at her kids' schools, gardening, hiking, kayaking, attending concerts and sporting events, and traveling to new places.
