Window Hero launches new drone-powered cleaning service and window film solutions

Published

on

The national exterior cleaning service franchise debuted the high-flying service to clean a Huntersville, North Carolina school and installed protective security film

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Window Hero, a HomeFront Brands franchise specializing in a wide range of exterior cleaning services, announced today that it is launching two new services that will not only take exterior cleaning to new heights, but will also provide customers with an added layer of physical protection.

Window Hero has partnered with North Carolina-based Lucid Bots, Inc., an artificial intelligence (AI) robotics company, to offer drone-powered exterior cleaning solutions that are able to tackle larger structures more efficiently. In addition to the drone-cleaning service, the exterior cleaning company now carries and installs a security window film to help commercial clients reinforce their external barriers.

“This new drone-powered cleaning service is a cost-effective solution that allows for a faster cleanup time with a smaller crew using fewer tools,” said Window Hero President David Blue. “We’re also delighted to offer our customers with the new security window film. In this day and age, providing schools and businesses with an added layer of security against intruders can bring comfort during dangerous situations. We’re excited about this partnership with Lucid and with the new services we’ll be able to provide to our clientele.”

Window Hero showcased the new drone-cleaning service at Ambassador Christian School in Huntersville, North Carolina last week. The company also outfitted the school’s windows with the security film while they were on premises.

The durable film prevents entry if shot or broken, and also makes it more difficult for anyone on the outside of the school to see into the classrooms, offering students more protection.

“Our goal is to provide a clean and safe environment for local children to receive an education,” said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan. “HomeFront Brands cares about the communities our brands serve, and we’re always looking to provide our clients with the most innovative solutions for their cleaning and security needs. The drones not only lower the cost of cleaning operations for our clients, but they also provide our Window Hero crews with a safer way to clean larger structures.”

Window Hero uses a Lucid drone called the Sherpa. The Sherpa integrates with any existing soft-wash pump system, is easy to fly and control, and can clean up to 300 square feet per minute.

“We have high hopes for our new partnership with HomeFront Brands and Window Hero,” said Lucid founder and CEO Andrew Ashur. “It’s been Lucid’s goal to make dangerous jobs safer and to provide frontier technology for old-school industries. We look forward to helping Window Hero provide effective, innovative and efficient service to their customers.”

Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Lucid Bots, Inc. is an AI robotics company that builds robots for labor-intensive tasks. It has been featured in TechCrunch and Forbes and focuses on providing safe and productivity-improving technology solutions.
