How to Maintain Your Home’s Exterior Before Winter: Tips from CA Cleaning Solutions

As temperatures start to drop, your home’s exterior goes through more than you might think. Between moisture, leaves, dirt buildup, and fluctuating temperatures, the outside of your house takes a beating — and if it’s not properly maintained, those small problems can turn into costly repairs later.

At CA Cleaning Solutions, we see it every year: homeowners waiting until spring to clean their siding, roof, or gutters — only to discover permanent stains, mold growth, or water damage that could have been prevented with a quick seasonal cleaning.

So before winter sets in, here’s what you can do to keep your home protected and looking great.

1. Clean Your Siding the Smart Way

Your siding acts as a shield against the elements, but it’s also a magnet for dirt, mildew, and algae — especially during Missouri’s humid months. While pressure washing might seem like the quick fix, it can actually cause more harm than good, forcing water behind the siding or stripping away paint.

That’s why we use a soft wash system powered by our proprietary Juice Bomb solution. It kills mold and mildew at the root without damaging your siding or landscaping. A clean exterior isn’t just about looks — it helps your siding last longer and prevents moisture damage.

2. Keep Gutters Flowing Freely

Clogged gutters are one of the biggest causes of roof leaks and foundation problems. When leaves and debris block the flow of water, it can back up under your shingles or pool near your home’s foundation.

This fall, make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear and draining properly. Our team can handle it safely and efficiently — no ladders or weekend struggles required.

3. Refresh Driveways, Decks, and Walkways

Driveways and decks tend to collect oil, algae, and grime over time. Not only does that make them slippery, but it can also erode the surface.

A professional eco-friendly power wash removes buildup and restores those surfaces to their original color. We make sure to use the right pressure level for each material — whether it’s wood, concrete, or brick — so everything is clean without being damaged.

4. Don’t Forget Your Roof

Moss and algae can quietly shorten the life of your roof. Over time, they hold moisture and break down your shingles. Our soft wash method gently removes the buildup while protecting your roof’s surface. It’s one of the best investments you can make before snow and ice arrive.
