Exterior Cleaning St. Louis
Exterior Cleaning St. Louis requires Surface Preservation & Foundation Protection—from mature-tree neighborhoods like Ladue and Frontenac to lake-adjacent homes in Creve Coeur, clogged gutters cause foundation damage, dirty siding harbors mold, and neglected windows reduce home value.
Our exterior detailing prevents costly repairs with professional window cleaning, gutter vacuum extraction, and soft wash siding using biodegradable surfactants. Water-fed pole systems reach 40+ feet. Surface-safe low-pressure methods for all siding types. Serving Town and Country, Chesterfield, Clayton, and all of West County.
Why Exterior Cleaning St. Louis Protects Your Investment
Most homeowners overlook their home's exterior until problems appear. We provide proactive maintenance that protects your investment and keeps your home looking its best.
Curb Appeal Protection
Clean windows, clear gutters, and fresh siding create the first impression buyers, guests, and neighbors see.
Prevent Costly Damage
Clogged gutters cause foundation damage. Dirty siding harbors mold. Regular maintenance prevents expensive repairs.
Healthier Living
Mold and mildew on siding affects indoor air quality. Clean windows let in more natural light. Fresh exteriors, healthier homes.
Seasonal Maintenance
Spring pollen, summer storms, fall leaves, winter grime. Each season brings challenges. We keep you ahead of them.
Multi-Story Solutions
Professional ladders, water-fed poles, and proper safety equipment for 2-3 story homes. No surface too high to reach.
Surface-Safe Methods
Different materials need different approaches. We match our techniques to your vinyl, wood, brick, or stucco surfaces.
The Physics of Exterior Damage
Clogged gutters don't just look bad—water overflow erodes foundations at $10,000+ per repair. Algae on siding isn't cosmetic; it's actively degrading your surfaces. Prevention costs 1% of the repair.
Foundation Water Damage
When gutters overflow, water pools at your foundation. Freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete. Moisture infiltrates basements. A $200 gutter cleaning prevents $10,000+ foundation repairs.
Algae Root Systems
Gloeocapsa magma (the black streaks on your roof and siding) has root-like structures that penetrate surfaces. Pressure washing breaks the surface; soft wash kills the organism.
UV & Oxidation
Dirty windows block natural light and trap moisture. Siding oxidation accelerates under debris. Regular cleaning extends surface life by 20-30% compared to neglected exteriors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our exterior cleaning services in St. Louis
What exterior cleaning services do you offer?
We offer three main exterior services: Window cleaning (from $20/window — includes frames, screens, inside and out), gutter clearing ($1.50/linear foot including debris removal and downspout flushing), and soft wash siding (low-pressure house washing from $250). All services can be bundled for complete exterior care.
How much does window cleaning cost in St. Louis?
Window cleaning costs $20 per regular window and $30 per large window (picture windows, bay windows, floor-to-ceiling). All window cleaning includes frames, screens, inside and out. A $60 high-access setup fee applies for 2nd/3rd story exterior windows.
How often should I have my gutters cleaned?
For most St. Louis homes, we recommend gutter cleaning twice per year (spring and fall). Homes with heavy tree coverage should consider 3-4 cleanings per year. Regular maintenance prevents foundation damage, fascia rot, and ice dams.
What is soft wash cleaning and why is it better than pressure washing?
Soft wash cleaning uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove algae, mold, mildew, and dirt. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft wash is safe for all siding types and lasts 2-3x longer without risking damage.
Can you clean windows on 2-3 story homes?
Yes, we have professional equipment for multi-story window cleaning. We use water-fed pole systems that reach up to 40 feet, professional stabilized ladder systems, and proper safety protocols. A one-time $60 high-access setup fee covers all upper-story windows.
