Our region packs heavy snow, lake-effect humidity and a short exterior work season into one calendar. Planning around it saves money.
Spring (April-May): driveway and walkway washing to clear salt, plus gutter brightening before the summer backlog.
Summer (June-August): house soft washing, decks, fences and pool surrounds. Long dry stretches make this the ideal time for staining and sealing.
Fall (September-October): a final wash before leaf drop and seasonal exterior upkeep ahead of the freeze.
Whether you're in Watkins Glen, Corning, Ithaca or Elmira, the same rule applies: clean before damage sets, not after.
