What Carlton County homes need
Heavy tree cover and river-valley humidity mean shade algae on siding, moss on the north slope of almost every roof, and gutters that pack solid with oak leaves and needles by October. Cabins and lake places around Moose Lake and Big Lake sit closed all winter and come out of it green. A soft wash in late spring, a gutter cleanout in fall, and a roof treatment every few years keeps a Carlton County home looking the way it did the day it was built.
Services we provide in Carlton
- House washing (soft wash): algae, mildew and black streaking removed from vinyl, wood, steel, and fiber-cement siding without high pressure.
- Roof cleaning: black streaks, moss, and lichen treated with a no-pressure soft wash that protects the shingles.
- Gutter cleaning and brightening: debris removed by hand, downspouts flushed, and gutter faces restored.
- Concrete cleaning and sealing: driveways, sidewalks, and patios surface-cleaned with stain pre-treatment and optional penetrating sealer.
- Window cleaning: interior and exterior glass, screens, sills, and tracks.
- Commercial: storefronts, walkways, and building exteriors.
When to schedule
Late spring, after the pollen and seed drop, is the most popular time for house and window cleaning. Roof treatments can be completed any time the temperature is above freezing. Gutter cleaning is best in late spring and again in late fall before the ground freezes. Concrete sealing requires a dry day above 50°F, which usually means June through September.
