Drone Exterior Cleaning in Cary, NC
Cary has grown from a small town into one of the Triangle's largest communities, with corporate campuses along Weston Parkway and the I-40 corridor, business parks, and a growing number of multi-story apartment and mixed-use buildings. Keeping them clean means working around business hours, tenants, and common areas, exactly the kind of job the drone's small footprint is built for.
Built for Cary's mix of properties
For corporate campuses and office parks, a soft wash keeps glass and metal panel exteriors sharp for clients and employees. For multi-story apartment buildings, a drone can keep disruption to residents and parking to a minimum. And for mixed-use districts like Fenton, the drone's small footprint means no lift tying up parking or entrances for days.

Why Cary buildings get dirty
The Triangle's humid summers and spring pollen season show up on Cary's roofs and facades just as they do across the region.
Black streaks on shingle roofs
Gloeocapsa magma, the cyanobacteria behind black streaks on asphalt shingles, thrives in Cary's humid summers and spreads on the wind, showing up on the shingle roofs of apartment and office buildings alike. Soft washing, not pressure washing, is the safe fix.
Pollen on glass and solar
The spring pine pollen season, usually late March through April, leaves a yellow film on office glass, entry canopies, and rooftop solar arrays that rain alone will not rinse off once the humidity sets it.
Red clay and irrigation stains
Piedmont red clay splashes onto lower walls, curbs, and sidewalks around landscaping, and irrigation overspray can leave mineral and rust-colored stains. Concrete calls for a power wash, and we will tell you up front if a stain needs a specialty treatment.
Humidity, algae, and mildew
Surfaces that stay damp through a humid Cary summer, like north-facing walls, shaded EIFS, and concrete that rarely sees sun, grow green algae and mildew.
Dust from nearby construction
Wherever new buildings are going up nearby, construction dust settles on facades, glass, and ledges and bonds to them in the humidity. A low-pressure soft wash removes it without the surface wear that high pressure can cause.
Cary questions
Can you clean our Cary office campus with minimal disruption to employees?
Yes. There is no boom lift parked by the entrance for days and no scaffolding over the walkways. The drone works from a small, mobile footprint, so we may keep an area clear for a short time while cleaning overhead, then move on. We will plan the work around your entrances, parking, and business hours, and we can provide a certificate of insurance for your facilities or procurement team.
Can you fly near RDU in Cary?
Yes, with the right authorization. The parts of Cary closest to the airport sit inside the controlled airspace around Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and FAA Part 107 rules require approval to fly there. We will check the airspace for every job and secure FAA authorization before scheduling, so it is part of our planning, not your problem.
Can you clean a Cary hospital or medical building that never closes?
Yes. Medical buildings around WakeMed Cary Hospital cannot shut down a patient entrance for a day of lift work. The drone works from a small, mobile footprint, so we may keep a small area clear for a short time while cleaning directly overhead, then move on. We will plan the work around entrances, ambulance routes, and parking with your facilities team before arriving.
How tall a building can you clean in Cary?
Our drone reaches up to 150 feet. On taller buildings, we can clean the lower stories, podium levels, entry canopies, signage, and attached parking decks. If your building is taller than we can serve, we will tell you during the assessment.
Our HOA wants the black streaks off our roofs. Can you help?
Yes. The black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria common on asphalt shingles in the Triangle's humidity. A soft wash applied by drone kills the growth without anyone walking on the roof or pressure washing away the shingle granules. Individual homeowners can book roof cleaning directly, and associations can set up a community-wide plan covering clubhouses, amenity buildings, and other common structures.
Do you work with HOAs and apartment communities in Cary?
Yes. Associations and property managers can set up a single recurring plan covering clubhouses, amenity buildings, apartment buildings, and other common structures, with consolidated scheduling and billing. We will schedule around residents, and individual homeowners can book roof, solar, and skylight cleaning on their own.
