Keep Your Property Looking Its Best All Year Round!
Living in the Pittsburgh area means dealing with all four seasons, each bringing its own unique challenges for home maintenance. From snowy winters to humid summers, your home’s exterior takes a beating. To keep it looking great and functioning properly, regular seasonal cleaning is essential.

As a local exterior cleaning professional, I’ve put together a comprehensive seasonal checklist to help you protect your investment. It will also help you know when to call in the pros.
Spring: Refresh After Winter
Winter in Pittsburgh can be rough, and spring is the perfect time to reset.
Checklist:
- Pressure wash siding and walkways: Remove salt residue, mold, and winter grime.
- Clean gutters and downspouts: Melting snow and spring rains require clear drainage.
- Inspect for mold, algae, and mildew: Common in shaded, damp areas.
- Wash windows: Let the sunshine in after months of gray skies.
- Check roof and fascia: Look for signs of wear or moss buildup.
Professional Tip: Spring is our busiest season—book early to lock in your spot for a full exterior refresh!
Summer: Maintain Curb Appeal
Warm weather is ideal for outdoor entertaining, so let’s keep your home looking sharp.
Checklist:
- Soft wash siding: Remove pollen, dust, and pollutants.
- Deck and patio cleaning: Get rid of grime and slippery mildew for safe enjoyment.
- Fence washing: Freshen up wood or vinyl fencing.
- Check for insect nests: Wasps and other pests like to hide under eaves and siding.
Bonus Tip: Hosting a backyard party? A quick exterior cleaning makes everything shine.
Fall: Prep for the Cold
Fall is cleanup time before Pittsburgh’s long winter sets in.
Checklist:
- Gutter cleaning: Falling leaves can clog your system quickly.
- Power wash driveways and sidewalks: Remove organic debris before freezing temps hit.
- Clean siding and trim: Algae and grime can get worse over winter if ignored.
- Inspect downspouts and drainage: Ensure water flows away from the foundation.
Pro Insight: Ignoring fall cleanup can lead to costly ice dams and water damage.
Winter: Safety First
Exterior cleaning during Pittsburgh’s winter is limited, but don’t neglect these tasks:
Checklist:
- Remove snow & ice from walkways: Keep them safe and clear.
- Check for ice buildup on gutters and roof edges.
- Look for signs of moisture damage: Catching issues early prevents major repairs.
