Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Home’s Exterior

Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your home’s exterior after the long, harsh Michigan winter. As the owner of Premo’s Exterior Cleaning, I’m Keaton Premo, and I’ve seen how a little seasonal maintenance can make a big difference in preserving your home’s beauty and value. Follow these expert tips to make sure your home is ready for the warmer months ahead.

1. Inspect and Clean Your Gutters

Your gutters likely collected leaves, twigs, and debris over the fall and winter months. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage, especially with spring’s frequent rains.

Action Plan: Schedule a professional gutter cleaning to ensure proper water flow. At Premo’s Exterior Cleaning, we specialize in making sure your gutters are clear and functioning perfectly.

2. Wash Away Winter Grime from Your Siding

Michigan’s winter weather often leaves dirt, salt, and other debris on your home’s siding. Cleaning your siding not only restores its appearance but also prevents mold and mildew growth.

Solution: Use a soft washing technique to gently clean siding without causing damage. Our team uses eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove buildup and keep your home looking its best.

3. Revitalize Your Driveway and Walkways

After months of snow, ice, and de-icing products, your driveway and walkways might be looking worse for wear. A clean, fresh surface improves your curb appeal and ensures safety for your family and visitors.

Pro Tip: Pressure washing is a great way to remove dirt, salt, and stains from concrete surfaces. Our team can help you achieve spotless results in no time.

4. Refresh Your Deck or Patio

Your outdoor spaces should be ready for barbecues, family gatherings, and sunny spring afternoons. Winter can leave behind grime and discoloration on decks and patios.

What You Can Do: Schedule a deep cleaning to remove dirt and prepare these areas for staining or sealing if needed.

5. Clean Your Windows for a Brighter Home

Dirty windows can block sunlight and leave your home looking less inviting. Cleaning them inside and out will instantly brighten up your home.

Bonus Tip: Use a streak-free cleaner and a microfiber cloth for best results, or let us handle it for you as part of a full-service exterior cleaning package.

6. Trim Overgrown Shrubs and Trees

Spring is the perfect time to prune any branches or bushes that may have grown too close to your home over the winter. Overgrown foliage can trap moisture and cause damage to siding and roofing.

7. Inspect Your Roof for Winter Damage

Winter snow and ice can cause significant damage to roofs. Look for missing shingles, leaks, or buildup of moss and algae.

Preventive Step: A professional roof cleaning can help maintain its integrity and prevent costly repairs down the line.

8. Power Wash Fences and Outdoor Furniture

Don’t forget about your fences and outdoor furniture. Over time, dirt and grime can dull their appearance and shorten their lifespan.

Quick Fix: Power washing can breathe new life into these surfaces, making your entire yard feel fresh and inviting.
