ZenaTech buys Green Earth Powerwashing in 24th DaaS acquisition

ZenaTech closed its 24th acquisition for its Drone as a Service platform by buying Florida-based Green Earth Powerwashing, adding a franchise network and recurring service revenue. The deal expands ZenaTech’s Florida footprint and could help the company roll out drone-enabled cleaning and maintenance services more quickly.

Why it matters: - ZenaTech is trying to turn traditional service businesses into drone-enabled operations with recurring revenue. - The Green Earth Powerwashing deal adds a franchise platform, an established customer base, and trained operators to that effort. - The acquisition gives ZenaTech a larger Florida presence, where high-rise and commercial exterior cleaning demand is concentrated.

What happened: - ZenaTech closed its 24th acquisition for its Drone as a Service platform with the purchase of Green Earth Powerwashing LLC. - Green Earth is based in Florida and operates as a franchise system with one company-owned location in West Palm Beach and franchise locations in central and south Florida. - The transaction is ZenaTech’s eighth acquisition in Florida. - ZenaTech says the deal strengthens its regional footprint and adds a scalable power washing franchise platform to its DaaS network.

The details: - Green Earth was founded in 2010 and began franchise operations in 2020. - The company serves local municipal governments and commercial businesses with exterior cleaning and property maintenance services. - Green Earth locations provide pressure washing, roof cleaning, building exterior cleaning, concrete cleaning and related maintenance services. - The business serves property managers, municipalities, commercial property owners, hospitality operators and homeowners association customers. - Green Earth uses environmentally responsible cleaning practices and a recurring-service business model. - ZenaTech said the franchise structure gives the business a platform for geographic expansion while maintaining service standards and customer relationships. - ZenaTech said it expects drone integration to improve safety, efficiency, service quality and operating economics, especially for high-rise and hard-to-reach properties. - The company pointed to major Florida markets including Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale as potential expansion areas. - ZenaTech cited a broader drone cleaning services market valued at about $5.17 billion in 2024 and projected to exceed $15.2 billion by 2031, according to Valuates Reports. - ZenaTech said the market is growing at nearly 17% annually, driven by demand for safer, more efficient and cost-effective maintenance. - ZenaTech’s DaaS platform offers subscription-based drone services for surveying, inspection, maintenance, power washing, inventory management and precision agriculture. - The company is building the platform by acquiring established service companies with existing customers and revenue streams. - More information is available in ZenaTech’s B2i Digital profile.

Between the lines: - The Green Earth purchase shows ZenaTech leaning on acquisitions to enter service categories that can be digitized and automated. - Power washing is a practical test case for drones because the work is repetitive, recurring and often hazardous at height. - The deal also suggests ZenaTech sees franchise systems as useful distribution networks for scaling new drone applications.

What's next: - ZenaTech plans to use its DaaS model to expand drone-powered cleaning and maintenance services across its network. - The company expects future opportunities in large U.S. and global metropolitan markets. - ZenaTech is also advancing AI drones for agriculture, logistics, ISR, cargo and counter-UAS applications through its broader business.

The bottom line: - ZenaTech keeps using acquisitions to build a broader drone services platform, and Green Earth gives it another foothold in a recurring maintenance market with room for automation.
