We’re well into November here in Georgia, and with December just around the corner, now is the perfect time to check your home’s exterior before winter fully sets in. While you may be focused on holiday plans, tackling key exterior cleaning and maintenance tasks now can save you time, money, and stress later.

At Clark Painting & Powerwashing, we often see homeowners putting off these essential chores -especially gutters and roofs - which can lead to costly damage during the colder, wetter months. Here’s what you should focus on before the year ends.

1. Gutter Cleaning: Avoid Water Damage Before Winter

By mid-November, gutters are likely packed with fallen leaves, twigs, and debris. Clogged gutters can cause:

• Water overflow, damaging siding, landscaping, and foundations
• Ice or frost buildup in the rare cold snaps Georgia experiences
• Mold and mildew growth along your roofline

Cleaning gutters now ensures proper water flow, protecting your home during winter rains and freezes.

2. Roof Cleaning: Keep Your Shingles Healthy

Late fall can leave your roof covered with debris, moss, and algae. If left unchecked, these issues can:

• Reduce shingle lifespan
• Cause leaks and interior water damage
• Lead to expensive repairs down the line

Professional roof cleaning safely removes debris and buildup, keeping your roof strong through winter storms.

3. Pressure Washing: Freshen Up Before Winter

November grime from pollen, leaves, and dirt can stick around through the winter months. Pressure washing your siding, patios, and walkways:

• Removes stains and mildew
• Helps prevent long-term damage
• Gives your home a polished look for holiday guests

A clean exterior now saves work in spring and keeps your home looking inviting.

4. Deck and Patio Care

Before the cold sets in:

• Sweep away debris and leaves
• Power wash wood or composite decks
• Apply sealant if needed to protect wood from moisture

Taking care of your outdoor spaces now prevents winter rot, warping, and mildew buildup.
