EXTERIOR CARE ACROSS NEPEAN
Exterior Cleaning & Permanent Lighting in Nepean
Long, low rooflines, big backyard maples and driveways that have seen a few decades of Ottawa winters. House Homie looks after the outside of Nepean homes: gutters, siding, windows and concrete in the warm months, and permanent LED lighting along the eaves that stays put all year.
Built Around Nepean Homes
Nepean ran its own affairs until amalgamation in 2001, and much of it was built in the decades after the Second World War. Streets around City View, Parkwood Hills, Fisher Heights and Pineglen are full of bungalows, side-splits and back-splits on wide lots, while Centrepointe, Craig Henry, Tanglewood and Qualicum filled in later with two-storey homes and busier rooflines.
What those streets share is shade. Trees planted when the houses were new now hang over the eaves, so gutters fill quickly every fall and the north side of the siding picks up green film. On the plus side, a single-storey bungalow with one long, unbroken eave is about as clean a run for permanent lighting as you will find. We look at your actual house before quoting, because a 1960s side-split and a 1990s two-storey need different things.
Exterior Cleaning in Nepean
Most of our Nepean calls start at the gutters and work outward. Mature trees and older downspouts make the gutter work the priority here, and once the ladders are up it is easy to add the rest of the house.
- Gutter cleaning: leaves, seeds and packed debris cleared from the troughs and downspouts so meltwater drains away from the foundation.
- Siding cleaning: green and grey organic growth lifted from shaded walls with methods that are safe for your siding.
- Window cleaning: glass, frames, sills and tracks cleaned, including the picture windows common on Nepean bungalows.
- Pressure washing: driveways, walkways and patios cleared of grime, tire marks and buildup.
- Gutter brightening: the dark streaks on the outside face of the gutters scrubbed away.
- Interlock cleaning: pavers cleaned and the joints re-sanded to help keep them level and weed-free.
Permanent Lighting in Nepean
A bungalow or side-split usually gives us one long, uninterrupted eave, and that is where permanent lighting looks its sharpest. The track is fitted to your roofline and tucked behind the trim, so the lights stay up all year without looking like holiday clutter in July.
- Choose from millions of colours and set scenes right from your phone.
- Warm white for everyday porch light, colour for Christmas, Diwali, Halloween or a Sens playoff run.
- Rated to -40, so it shrugs off a Nepean January.
- We demo the lights at your home first, and most installs wrap up in one to three days.
- Installed by our own team and backed by a warranty.
How a Year Looks With House Homie in Nepean
Big trees and long rooflines mean the outside of a Nepean home needs a little attention every season. Having one team handle it keeps the schedule simple.
Fall
The busy one. Once the maples drop, we clear gutters and downspouts before freeze-up and brighten the gutter faces.
Winter
Your permanent lights are already on the eaves for the holidays, and you change the colours from the couch.
Spring
Rinse off the salt and sand: driveways, walkways and windows cleaned once the snowbanks are gone.
Summer
Wash the shaded siding, refresh the interlock patio and book a lighting demo on a long evening.

Nepean Exterior Cleaning & Lighting Questions
Which parts of Nepean do you cover?
All of it, from City View and Parkwood Hills to Centrepointe, Craig Henry and Qualicum. If you are unsure about your street, call 613-854-6779.
My bungalow has huge trees over the roof. How often should the gutters be cleaned?
It depends on the trees and how close they are, but heavily shaded homes usually need at least a fall cleaning after the leaves drop. We can tell you what makes sense for your house when we see it, and a Homie Club plan can keep it on schedule.
Does permanent lighting work on a single-storey home?
Yes. A bungalow or side-split often has one long, simple eave, which makes for a clean, even line of light. We show you the lights at your home before you decide.
Can you clean siding that has gone green on the shady side?
Yes. We lift organic buildup off siding using methods that are safe for the material, so the colour comes back without damage.
How long does a lighting install take?
Most installs take one to three days, depending on the size and shape of the roofline.
Are the lights built for Ottawa winters?
Yes. They are rated to -40 and every install is backed by a warranty. We will go over the warranty details with your quote.
