The leaves are turning, the air’s cooling down, and your gutters? They’re probably full. At Men of Faith Pressure Washing, we know that Savannah’s fall weather might be a relief after summer, but it also brings rain, debris, and a mess.
With that in mind, here’s your reminder: before winter hits, give your home some love. This fall exterior cleaning checklist will guide you through the process, and if you’d rather get some professional gutter cleaning this fall?
Well, that’s what we’re here for.
Gutters First
We’re starting here for a reason: gutters carry the weight of your roof’s runoff, so when they clog up, that water has nowhere to go but down your siding or into your foundation, which is always bad business.
Want to tackle it yourself?
–Scoop out the debris (gloves + a small trowel work wonders).
–Rinse with a hose to check for smooth drainage.
–Watch those downspouts, as blockages love to hide there.
Skip the ladder if you’re uncomfortable or your roofline is steep. This is where professional gutter cleaning in fall earns its keep—safely, quickly, and without risking your weekend (or your back).
Pressure Washing
If it’s not obvious, we love a good pressure wash, but only when it’s done right.
Here’s the best way to pressure wash a house—with the right nozzle, pressure setting, and a game plan that targets areas like:
–Vinyl siding with algae buildup
–Brick or stucco that’s weathered a few summers
–Concrete walkways and steps.
Don’t blast delicate surfaces like window seals, wood trim, or anything painted unless you know what you’re doing. We get the appeal of wanting to go all out when pressure washing a house’s exterior, but you’ll want to curb that enthusiasm.
For many homeowners, the line between “clean” and “damaged” is about one second of too much pressure, so if you’d rather not risk it, just call us at 912-604-2457.
The Must-Hits
Here’s a streamlined version of the checklist we use when we’re hired for our fall home cleaning services in Savannah. Whether you’re paying for a professional fall gutter cleaning or you’re doing it yourself, no fall cleaning is complete if you don’t clean these areas.
–Gutter cleaning—first line of defense against water damage
–Roof debris removal—pine needles and leaves have got to go.
–Driveway and sidewalk cleaning—to avoid fall rains turning grime into slip hazards
–Outdoor patio cleaning—moss, mildew, and BBQ residue? Get rid of that.
–Fall yard and landscape cleanup—not actually something we offer, but definitely something you want to cover if you want to avoid pests and weeds.
You don’t need to deep-clean every inch, but you do need to clean enough to prevent buildup, rot, and pests from taking hold during the cooler months.
Savannah-Specific Maintenance Tips
Let’s face it, seasonal home maintenance tips are only as good as the person giving them, so you always want local advice, because in Savannah, preparing your home for the winter months goes far beyond knowing how to clean your gutters in fall.
Living here means dealing with three things year-round: humidity, storms, and surprise algae (the worst kind of algae.) And in fall, we also get:
–Sidewalk slime from leaves that never fully dry
—Roof streaks from pooled debris
–Mold spores clinging to every shaded surface
You want to act before these issues settle in. Once mold takes hold, it doesn’t ask permission; it just grows. And yes, we’ve seen it destroy paint, sidings, and even roofing shingles when left alone too long.

FAQs
What’s the difference between roof cleaning and roof pressure washing?
It’s all about the method—and at Men of Faith, we do it the right way. Roof cleaning (the way we do it) uses a gentle soft wash system that removes algae, grime, and debris without damaging your shingles.
Can pressure washing damage patio pavers or outdoor tile?
If the pressure’s too high or the angle’s wrong? Yep, it sure can. We’ve seen pavers crack, grout wash away, and sealant get stripped, all because someone got carried away with a rental washer.
Do I need to move patio furniture or grills before a cleaning service?
If you can move it easily, great; it helps us get right to work. But if you’ve got a heavy grill or a patio set that’s not budging, don’t sweat it. Just let us know ahead of time and we’ll handle it. We’re here to make your life easier, not give you a new chore before we even show up.
Why is fall a good time to remove algae from siding or roofs?
Because that stuff loves cool, damp weather, and fall in Savannah is basically a spa day for algae. If you wait until spring, it’ll be deeper, darker, and way harder to get rid of.
Can you help with HOA exterior cleaning requirements?
We sure can. Whether your HOA is cracking down on dirty driveways or sending love notes about mildew on your siding, we’ve got your back. We’ve helped plenty of folks check every box on their community’s list — and we’ll make sure your place passes inspection without lifting a finger (except maybe to call us).
