Exterior Cleaning & Permanent Lighting in Centretown
Centretown’s Victorian brick homes, semis and row houses have a lot of glass and a lot of character. We clean their windows, gutters and walkways, and add permanent lighting where the roofline is yours to light.
Honest Help for Centretown Homes
Centretown runs from Gloucester Street down to the Queensway, between Bronson Avenue and the Rideau Canal. Bank and Elgin are busy commercial streets, while side streets like MacLaren and Gladstone are lined with original single-family homes, brick semis, row houses and newer infill. North of Cooper, the skyline is mostly condo and apartment towers.
We want to be upfront about what we are a good fit for. We work on houses, semis and row houses, the homes you own from the ground to the roof. If you live in a condo or apartment tower, your building manages the exterior and its windows. For the homes we do serve, the work is about city grime: windows that collect street dust, small front walks and steps, gutters on tight lots, and brick that darkens over time. Permanent lighting can look great on a row house or semi, as long as it runs along your own section of roofline.
Exterior Cleaning in Centretown
City homes pick up dust, soot and pollen quickly. We keep the outside of Centretown houses and row homes looking sharp.
- Window cleaning: street dust and pollen cleared from windows, with frames, sills and tracks wiped clean. Our methods are safe for all window types, including older windows.
- Gutter cleaning: gutters and downspouts cleared so water drains away from foundations on close-set lots.
- Gutter brightening: dark streaks and oxidation removed from gutter faces.
- Siding cleaning: organic buildup washed off siding with safe methods.
- Pressure washing: front steps, walks and small patios cleaned of grime.
- Interlock cleaning: backyard and front-walk pavers deep cleaned and re-sanded.
Permanent Lighting for Centretown Row Houses & Semis
A row of glowing eaves can make a historic street feel festive. If you own your section of the roofline, permanent LED lights can outline it all year and change at the tap of your phone.
- Warm white that complements brick, or colours and scenes for Pride, the holidays and more.

- Rated to -40 for downtown winters.
- An in-home demo first, so you know how it will look on your home before you decide.
