Don’t Wait for Fall: 7 Exterior Areas You Should Clean Before the Leaves Start Falling

Late August in Montgomery County can still feel like the middle of summer. Temperatures are high, afternoon storms are common, and fall may seem like it is still a long way away. But your home's exterior has already been through months of Texas weather. Spring pollen settled across siding and concrete. Summer humidity encouraged algae and mildew growth. Thunderstorms carried dirt and landscape runoff across driveways and walkways. Trees dropped organic debris onto roofs, gutters, patios, and outdoor living areas.

You pull into your driveway after a long day and glance toward your house. Something looks different. The siding is not as bright as you remember. The garage door looks dull.
