A drone-based services company that specializes in exterior asset management. Window washing, roof cleaning, facade cleaning, and precision inspections for commercial properties, HOAs, solar farms, and amphitheaters across Texas.
Up to 200 feet. Built by veterans and first responders. Operated by FAA Part 107 pilots.
See AES In Action
Watch the AES crew, the mobile rig, and the Sherpa platform at work on a real Texas property. No lifts, no rooftop access, no shutdown — just a clean facade in a fraction of the time.
A different question to ask
Property owners. Condo boards. The teams who walk through the front door every morning. To them, that building isn’t just square footage — it’s a brand, an address, a signal of what’s inside.
A clean facade says one thing. A scaffolded one says another. Whether or not anyone says it out loud, the building’s exterior is talking.
Facades cloud, glass spots, roofs collect grime — none of that is optional. The months of scaffolding while you fix it? That part is. With drones, it’s hours, not months. Same clean facade — without the construction-site look while you wait for it.
Why AES
Traditional exterior cleaning = scaffolding rentals, lift permits, rooftop disruption, six guys on your property for days. We replace all of it with a drone team that shows up, works fast, and leaves no trace.
Real Job. Real Result.
No scaffolding. No streaks. No mineral residue. Spot-free deionized water and soft-wash chemistry, applied with precision from a stable hover.
BEFORE
AFTEREco-Friendly · Proprietary
Drone-optimized chemistry, formulated in-house. Each system is tuned for low-pressure aerial application, minimal runoff, and specific surface types — so we get a consistent result without chewing up your stone, panels, or landscaping.
Environmental
Low-impact formulations. Controlled runoff. Safe around landscaping and stormwater.
Drone-Optimized
Surfactants tuned for low-pressure aerial spray. Long dwell time. No misting waste.
Surface-Safe
Formulated to clean without etching, oxidizing, or stripping protective coatings.
The Systems
Organic Growth Removal
Algae, mold, mildew, organic staining. Drone-optimized surfactant blend with long dwell time. Stucco, EIFS, painted siding, metal panels.
Limestone & Masonry
Texas-limestone specialty. Buffered formulation with stone-safe surfactant blend prevents etching. Removes black streaking and efflorescence.
Roof Tile Restoration
Removes moss, lichen, algae from concrete, clay, and metal roofs without damaging tile. Higher-cling surfactant at low pressure.
Spot-Free Glass
Two-stage process: light surfactant wash, then deionized (DI) water rinse. Spot-free drying, no streaks, no towel drying required.
Solar Panel Care
Non-abrasive chemistry with anti-static surfactant blend. Residue-free rinse improves panel efficiency without damaging coatings.
Healthcare-Compliant
Low-odor, controlled-runoff chemistry designed for hospital environments. Safe around patient areas and sensitive operations.

Proprietary Scoring
Exterior Asset Condition Index
Every property we touch gets scored on our proprietary EACI framework — a data-driven snapshot of facade condition, soiling level, and recommended service interval. So your maintenance spend isn’t guesswork.
Markets We Serve
Office buildings, retail centers, mixed-use towers. Up to 200 ft / 15 floors.
Warehouses, manufacturing, distribution. High-bay roofs, metal panels, oxidized facades.
Quiet, low-disturbance protocols. Healthcare-compliant chemistry safe around patient areas.
Per-panel quoting at scale. Restore lost generation efficiency.
Facades, balconies, common areas. Board-friendly recurring programs.
Stage canopies, shade structures, and venue exteriors. Cleaned without scaffolding the seating bowl or closing the venue.
What we bring
We arrive in a self-contained mobile rig: heavy-lift drone, deionized water system, eco-friendly chemistry, and a Part 107 pilot. We park, we fly, we clean, we go. No staging area, no crane, no permits. Tenants barely notice we were there — until they look up.
The Sherpa Platform
AES flies the Lucid Bots Sherpa — the autonomous cleaning platform behind 400+ operators across 40+ states. While we build our own AES case studies, here’s what the same airframe has already proven elsewhere — verifiable, sourced, public.
Commercial / Hospitality
Baker SoftWash used the Sherpa platform to soft-wash the concrete tile roof and clean the entrance windows of The Inn on Biltmore Estate (Asheville, NC) — running alongside ground crews to compress the schedule.
Biltmore case study↗Industrial coating
VEMAC applied two coats of stain to a 400 sq-ft tilt-up concrete wall panel in 13 minutes — versus 44 minutes with a traditional man-lift. 3.4× faster, zero lift exposure.
VEMAC concrete case study↗Solar arrays
The Sherpa platform is named by its manufacturer for solar panel cleaning — the same airframe and controls AES uses for facade work, ideal for arrays where bucket-truck access is unsafe or impractical.
Sherpa platform spec↗Cases above are publicly documented Lucid Bots Sherpa customer deployments — not AES projects. Each is linked to its source so you can verify it directly. AES operates the same Sherpa platform across Texas, and will publish our own case studies as clients opt in.
