After a long Midwest winter, your home’s exterior takes a beating. Snow, salt, algae, mold, and debris build up quietly — and by spring, many homeowners are surprised at how dull and worn their property looks.
Spring is the ideal time to restore your home’s appearance and protect it from long-term damage.
Why Exterior Spring Cleaning Matters
Exterior cleaning isn’t just cosmetic. It helps:
✓ Prevent premature siding deterioration
✓ Remove algae, mold, and mildew
✓ Clear gutters before spring storms
✓ Protect roofing materials
✓ Improve curb appeal and property value
✓ Reduce slip hazards on concrete surfaces
In southern Indiana, humidity accelerates biological growth – especially on north-facing walls and shaded areas.
Your Exterior Spring Cleaning Checklist
✓ Roof Inspection & Cleaning – Black streaks are caused by algae that can shorten shingle lifespan. Professional soft washing safely removes growth without damaging shingles.
✓ House Washing – Vinyl, brick, stucco, and painted surfaces accumulate grime and organic buildup that can stain permanently if left untreated.
✓ Gutter Cleaning – Clogged gutters lead to overflow, foundation issues, fascia damage, and basement moisture problems.
✓ Concrete Cleaning – Driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks become slick from algae and winter residue.
✓ Window Cleaning – Spring sunshine reveals every streak and film left from winter weather.
DIY and Handyman vs Professional Cleaning
Pressure washing can be dangerous and ineffective when done improperly. Too much pressure can:
✓ Etch concrete
✓ Force water behind siding
✓ Damage window seals
✓Void roofing warranties
Professional soft-washing uses specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to safely eliminate organic growth at the source.
Why Spring Is the Best Time
Spring cleaning prepares your home for:
✓ Outdoor gatherings
✓ Summer heat and humidity
✓ Increased pollen and organic buildup
✓ Real estate listings
✓ Seasonal maintenance cycles
✓ It’s also when schedules fill quickly.
