Why Providing Exterior Maintenance for Your Business is Important

by Aug 1,2017

Running a successful business requires a lot of thought and consideration, including the care and maintenance of the structure itself. Presenting a clean and well-cared-for face of your business can be the difference between drawing in more customers and clients or driving them away.

In addition to wanting your business to look welcoming, there’s a good chance it will be held to local code and building standards. Allowing room in your business’ budget to include maintenance provisions will make it easier to arrange for any needed repairs or touch ups.

Maintaining Regulatory Compliance

All businesses within the United States are required to comply with a variety of exterior property and building maintenance. This just helps to ensure the safety of all any visitors, customers and employees stepping onto the property.

For example, all businesses are required to correct and maintain any safety issues that could lead to potentially hazardous or unsanitary conditions. Failure to maintain areas from cracks, holes, and other conditions that could allow for excess moisture or deterioration could mean unfavorable consequences for your business.

The easiest way to avoid this situation is to keep up with all aspects of exterior maintenance. These repairs and services can range from masonry work and painting to leaf removal, window washing, and gutter cleaning.

Curb Appeal Can Help Increase Foot Traffic

Regardless of what kind of business you run, if you have a storefront or building that invites customers inside, it is your outside that will draw them in. Maintaining a fresh and clean exterior will be more enticing to potential patrons as they pass by.

Take a step outside and evaluate the front for yourself. Are the windows clear enough to see inside? Are there leaves or garbage piling up in flower beds or the corners of the doorway? A few simple steps can escalate your business’s curb appeal.

Hiring a professional exterior property cleaning provider company that can handle these tasks for you not only allows you more time to concentrate on your business but can give you the peace of mind that your storefront will always be kept up, even if you aren’t there.

Keep it Professional by Looking Clean and Clear

Keeping the windows clean in any business is paramount for customers to see your displays or into the store itself. Did you know that regular cleaning and maintenance can also lengthen the lifespan of your windows?

During the cleaning process, harsh environmental pollutants such as hard water, acidic rain, and oxidation, are stripped away from the window panes. This will help them last longer, saving the business money in the long term.

Clean windows not only allow customers to see the merchandise in the store but gives them the confirmation that your business is professional and serious about providing a high-quality environment for customers to shop in.

Luckily, you don’t have to worry about taking time away from your customers in order get this essential maintenance done. Hiring a company that provides services that include window washing and seasonal outdoor maintenance is an option.

They have the equipment needed to reach those out of the way places, second and third story windows, skylights and gutters. They will come per the schedule you devise when hiring them which leaves you and your employees free to continue running the business.

I recently employed Clean and Clear to clean my windows both inside and out. The two technicians arrived on time and completed the job in a very professional manner. I have windows that require extension ladders inside the home. They were careful to navigate our furniture and complete the job without incident. I highly recommend Clean and Clear and will use them again the next time I require window cleaning services.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the glowing review! 🪟💦 Our ladder acrobats take great pride in tiptoeing around furniture like ninjas with squeegees. We’re thrilled your windows are sparkling and your living room stayed intact! Looking forward to the next cleaning adventure—same shine, same care, no broken lamps 😄

My experience with clean and clear was fabulous your technicians were very professional and courteous, I had my windows cleaned last spring as my husband who passed away prior always took care of the exterior of the home. I look forward to your return for 2023’s exterior and interior clean and clear cleaning 🌺🌺
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience with us. We’re so glad to hear that you found our technicians professional and courteous. It’s an honor to assist you with the care of your home, especially during such a significant time. We look forward to returning for your 2023 exterior and interior cleaning and appreciate your trust in us. 🌺
The Clean and Clear team was awesome! They were kind and professional and right on time. Scheduling was easy. Will definitely be using again!
Response from the owner:!! YAY, thank you!! Looking forward to working with you again :):)
Very courteous, great job and timely and fair price. 😊👍🏻
Response from the owner:Big thanks!! So glad we could help
This company is incredibly disorganized and chaotic. That being said, the technician Austin, who ultimately did come out, did an incredible job. If Austin left and went to another company, I would follow him, but it was way too disorganized to get the appointment finally scheduled and get someone to our home (cancellation, multiple texts from different numbers, wanting to come well before rescheduled appointment time when no one would be home for hours). It was so bad I do not think we would go back to this company.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry for the scheduling challenges you experienced — that's not the level of service we aim to provide. We’re glad to hear Austin took great care of you, and we’ll be sure to recognize him for his outstanding work. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be using your feedback to improve.
Cole was very polite and professional. He introduced himself and was very respectful. He worked hard and did a great job😃 We love how clean our windows are and are excited to be able to enjoy our porch!
Thank you Cole
Response from the owner:We’re so glad you had a great experience with Cole — we’ll be sure to share your feedback with him! Enjoy your refreshed porch
Great communication, excellent service, nice people
Response from the owner:Thank you! Always here when you need us!
Service was excellent!
Response from the owner:Thanks! We aim to please!
Brady is a wonderful, thoughtful and respectful man. I will definitely be requesting him next time as my windows look fabulous!! Thank you Brady!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re lucky to have Brady on our team and will be sure to pass this along to him!
Excellent work,and fast.
Response from the owner:Thank you, glad we could help!
He arrived on time and was very polite. Worked fast and was very willing to clean a few spots that he missed on the first pass. Ask me to confirm if he had missed any others due to me ability to view the world from a different perspective, I use a walker and see things at a much lower angle.
Response from the owner:This is wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for sharing, Cheryl. We do our best to ensure our customer's satisfaction. We are glad to hear it was a success!!
Prompt, friendly, good service!
Response from the owner:Living the dream!! much appreciated, Carrie 😀

Isael and his partner showed up on time, were polite and attentive and best of all did a FABULOUS job. Externals only (I did the inside since I'm particular).
Response from the owner:Great to hear, Kathryn! We appreciate your business and look forward to working with you again!
Our windows look amazing! Thank you Tevin and Eli from Clean and Clear. Communication was exceptional and would highly recommend their services.

Able to perform with little or no direction. Here on time and done in an hour. Floor looks great (and I didn't have to do it!).
Response from the owner:That’s what we love to hear! Big thanks for the kind words and for trusting our team. We’re glad we could make a difference today!
Response from the owner:Grateful for your rating, thank you! We’re here anytime you need us again.

Response from the owner:Shout-out received! We’re lucky to have Q on the team and happy to hear that he took good care of you. Thank you for the review and the recognition!
Did a great job cleaning the exterior windows. Initially didn’t clear all the debris from our gutters but quickly responded and rescheduled to complete the job. Technician was very professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the honest feedback! We’re glad you were happy with the window cleaning and appreciate the opportunity to follow up and finish the job right. It’s always a pleasure serving customers like you, and we look forward to working with you again!
