Late spring \u2014 after the pollen finishes falling and before summer heat \u2014 is the best window for exterior cleaning across Southeast Missouri<\/a>. But the honest answer has more to do with what is growing on your house than with the calendar.<\/p>\n

Why late spring wins<\/h2>\n

Missouri’s spring pollen drop is heavy, and washing a house in the middle of it means paying to remove a layer that will be back next week. Once the oaks and pines have finished, a wash stays clean and the house looks right through the whole outdoor season.<\/p>\n

Spring is also when the previous year’s algae growth is most visible and most established, so the before-and-after is at its most dramatic.<\/p>\n

The case for autumn<\/h2>\n

An autumn wash means going into winter clean, and pairing it with gutter clearing after leaf fall gets two jobs done on one visit. For heavily shaded properties that green up fast, a spring-and-autumn cycle is often the right rhythm.<\/p>\n

The one thing autumn does better than spring: preparation for holiday lighting. If we are installing Christmas lights in November, a roofline washed in October shows them off properly.<\/p>\n

When not to bother<\/h2>\n

Freezing weather is the real constraint. Wash water in below-freezing temperatures creates ice on walkways and can freeze inside gutters and downspouts, so deep winter is out for most exterior work.<\/p>\n

High summer is workable but imperfect \u2014 solutions dry too fast on hot siding, which makes the work slower and the rinse more critical. If you have a choice, the shoulder seasons beat the extremes.<\/p>\n

Booking fills fastest for the late-spring window, so get on the calendar early.<\/em> Read more about exterior cleaning across Southeast Missouri →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
