Spring has finally arrived in the Greater Toronto Area, and there's no better time to give your home’s exterior a fresh start. After enduring snow, salt, and freezing temperatures, properties in Thornhill, Richmond Hill, and Markham often need some work to look their best.

Whether you're planning to entertain outdoors, put your house on the market, or simply want to fall in love with your home again, these five spring cleaning projects will make a noticeable difference.

1. Pressure Washing Driveways and Walkways

Winter can leave your concrete looking grimy, stained, and weather-worn. Pressure washing helps remove built-up salt, dirt, oil, and algae — instantly improving your home’s curb appeal.

Benefits:

Removes harsh salt stains left behind by winter

Restores brightness to dull or stained concrete

Reduces slip hazards from algae and grime buildup

2. Deck and Fence Cleaning

With spring and summer around the corner, outdoor spaces are about to get a lot more use. Pressure washing your deck and fence removes mold, mildew, and grime — making your backyard a welcoming retreat.

Benefits:

Protects and prolongs the life of your wood
Removes allergens and buildup caused by winter moisture
Prepares surfaces for resealing or staining

3. Exterior House Washing (Siding or Brick)

In neighborhoods like Old Thornhill, Bayview Glen, and Unionville, beautiful homes deserve clean exteriors. A soft wash removes dirt, cobwebs, and mildew without damaging your home’s siding or brick.

Benefits:

Makes your home look freshly painted
Removes allergens and pollution residue
Enhances overall property value

4. Professional Window Cleaning

After months of winter buildup, windows are often left streaked and foggy. Our team offers streak-free window cleaning throughout Thornhill, Richmond Hill, and Markham so you can enjoy the sunshine again.

Benefits:

Maximizes natural light in your home
Improves both exterior and interior aesthetics
Allows for early detection of window wear or damage

5. Gutter Cleaning and Brightening

Your gutters work hard during the winter. Spring is the time to clear out debris and give them a refresh. In tree-lined neighborhoods like Mill Pond, Langstaff, and Cachet, regular gutter maintenance is essential.

Prevents water damage to your roof and foundation
Eliminates clogged downspouts that cause overflow
Makes your roofline look clean and polished
