Smith Mountain Lake home exterior care

For homes with a lot of glass and not a lot of time.

Lake houses are mostly glass, and lake air is hard on it: pollen, water spots, spider season. I put the whole exterior on one calendar — windows, siding, gutters and the dock — so it’s ready when you get here, whether that’s every weekend or twice a summer.

Common questions

For owners who aren’t always here.

Do I need to be at the lake?

No. I work directly with your caretaker or property manager on gate codes, keys and alarm windows, and you get a photo report after every visit so you can see what was done.

Can you clean before we or our guests arrive?

Yes. Pre-arrival cleans are part of the Concierge plan. For anything else, tell me your dates and we’ll work out the timing.

What does a plan cost?

Each plan is priced per property after a walkthrough, because no two lake houses have the same glass, height or access. The price is in writing before anything starts.

Is soft washing safe for my siding and roof?

Soft washing is low-pressure. It removes mildew and algae from siding, roofs and trim without damaging the surface.

Do you do one-time cleans?

Yes, one-time cleans are welcome. A seasonal or quarterly plan just means you never have to remember to call.
