Add a drone to your crew

The Sherpa drone helps your team pursue more commercial work, expand the services you can offer, and perform elevated cleaning tasks with operators on the ground.

Not (just) a gimmick. A legitimate way to clean.

The Sherpa drone applies proven cleaning methods in a new way. See the visible difference it can deliver across real commercial cleaning jobs.

Where you can start

The question is not whether a drone can spray. It is whether it can clean.

The Sherpa drone changes how the cleaning process reaches height. It does not change the fundamentals behind the result: qualify the surface, choose the right chemistry, control the application, allow dwell time, and rinse completely.

Drone cleaning in the field

Proof from a real project

On one coordinated project, VSI Aerial used a Sherpa drone equipped with a Window Payload to clean the Washington Commander's massive 400,000-square-foot indoor practice dome.

There Had to Be a Safer Way.
The Sherpa drone was born from seeing people suspended high above the ground to clean buildings by hand. For suitable exterior work, it puts the cleaning nozzle at height while trained operators remain on the ground, reducing the time people spend on ladders, lifts, scaffolding, roofs and rope systems.
Built to scale

Grow the work, not the headcount

The value of the Sherpa drone is not limited to one cleaning method. It can change which projects you pursue, how you serve current accounts, and how much work a trained operation can support.

Quote more high-access work

Pursue qualified commercial buildings that traditional access costs, logistics, or crew requirements previously made difficult to quote.

Sell more to existing customers

Add exterior windows, facades, and qualified protective treatments to relationships your company has already earned.

Reduce access dependence

Use the Sherpa drone where it can reduce reliance on lifts, scaffolding, roofs, and ropes.

Give customers a visible difference

Use a distinctive process that attracts attention, creates useful project content, and gives prospects a clear reason to remember your company.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does adding a Sherpa change how we clean?

It changes how you reach height, not the cleaning basics. Soft washing still covers routine organic growth, exterior soil, siding/stucco/masonry, and hard-to-reach elevations. Window cleaning still fits routine commercial glass, curtain walls, touchless-suited properties, and recurring programs. Water repellents still require approved products and substrates, prepared surfaces, and defined coverage targets.

Which jobs still need lifts or other methods?

Soft washing may still need another method for heavy oxidation, bonded contamination and graffiti, or surfaces that need deep scraping. Window work may still need lifts or contact methods for hard-water restoration, etched glass that needs scraping or buffing, and damaged coatings, films, or seals. Water-repellent jobs may still need another approach for unapproved substrates, precision decorative detail work, or substantial substrate repair. Use the drone where the surface and chemistry fit; keep traditional access for the rest.

Can a pressure washing company add drone cleaning to its services?

Yes. The Sherpa is built for exterior cleaning companies that already know soft washing, window care, and similar work. It puts a proven spray process at height so operators stay on the ground, which helps you quote more high-access commercial jobs, sell more exterior work to accounts you already have, and cut how often you need lifts, scaffolding, roofs, or ropes. The fundamentals stay the same: qualify the surface, pick the right chemistry, control the application, allow dwell time, and rinse completely.
