You're Already Being Asked for the Jobs That Pay the Most
The work is there. The ladder, the lift and the labor are what stand in the way.
"We don't go above the second story."
A property manager asks for the whole building. You quote the part you can reach, and someone else gets the rest.
Lift rentals eat the margin
By the time you pay for the lift, delivery and the extra day, the job that looked profitable barely breaks even.
Labor that doesn't scale
Taller work means more people, more hours and more ways for the schedule to slip.
Safety and insurance exposure
Every ladder and lift job puts a crew member at height, and your insurance carrier knows it.
Commercial contracts go to bigger vendors
Hotels and property managers want one company that can handle the full exterior. If that isn't you, the account isn't either.
Competitors are winning the bigger jobs
Operators who can reach the upper floors are bidding the work you're turning away.
What if you could add high-ticket drone cleaning without rebuilding your business?
See how it worksTurn Existing Customers Into Higher-Ticket Contracts
The fastest growth in a cleaning business usually doesn't come from new leads. It comes from saying yes to the work you're already being asked about.
A drone cleaning system doesn't replace your business. It extends what your crew can sell. The customers who already trust you with the ground floor can now hand you the whole building.
- Same customers, bigger invoicesQuote the full exterior instead of the reachable part.
- New commercial workBid on hotels, office buildings, apartment complexes and facilities you used to pass on.
- Less equipment rentalHandle more upper-story work without booking a lift for every job.
- Faster job completionYour operator stays on the ground while the drone handles the height, so crews move on sooner.
- Safer crewsFewer people working at height means less risk on every job.
| Without drone cleaning | With the Strato system |
|---|---|
| Quote the lower floors only | Quote the full building |
| Rent a lift or subcontract the height | Your operator cleans from the ground |
| Pass on hotel and commercial bids | Bid on them with a clear method |
| More crew hours at height | One ground-based operator for the elevated work |

Built for Cleaning Companies. Priced for Real Businesses.
Most drone sellers ship a box and wish you luck. Strato was built by an operator who needed a better way to grow his own cleaning company.
Under $15K Commercial System
Many commercial cleaning drone setups run $40,000 or more. Strato's complete system comes in under $15K, a number an established operator can justify against real jobs instead of a five-year plan.
Cleaning-Specific Training
You don't need a generic flying course. Training focuses on running cleaning jobs by drone: setup, spray patterns, surfaces, chemicals and working safely around buildings.
Real Operator Credibility
Dakota started his own cleaning business before he ever sold a drone. The advice you get comes from someone who has quoted, won and completed drone cleaning jobs himself.
Complete Business Growth System
Hardware, training, FAA Part 107 prep, a commercial drone business guide, setup assistance and ongoing support in one package, so you're not piecing it together yourself.

I Started Where You Are: Running a Cleaning Business
Why Dakota built Strato around cleaning companies, not drone hobbyists.
The problem
I started my own cleaning business. Like a lot of owners, I kept running into the same wall: the jobs that paid the most were the ones I couldn't reach. Drone cleaning was the obvious answer, but the commercial systems I found cost $40,000 or more. I couldn't justify that for a business my size.
The discovery
So I kept looking. I found a commercial cleaning drone system that did the work I needed at a price that made sense for a growing company.
The $10,000 hotel contract
$10,000hotel contract within 60 days
Within 60 days of adding drone cleaning, I landed a $10,000 hotel contract, the kind of job I would have turned down before.
Why I became a reseller
Other cleaning company owners started asking what I was using and how I got started. The equipment was only half of it. They needed someone who had already done the work to show them how. That's why I became a U.S. reseller.
The mission
Help established cleaning companies add drone cleaning, win bigger commercial jobs and grow without taking on $40K+ in equipment.
Results described are the founder's own experience. Individual results vary based on market, pricing, sales effort and business operations.
"I'm not here to sell you a drone. I'm here to help you build a more profitable cleaning business."

Soft Washing
Apply soft wash chemistry to elevated surfaces with a sodium hypochlorite (SH) compatible system.
