What to Expect from a Professional Building Maintenance Visit
Whether it’s your home, rental property, or business, staying ahead of wear and tear is essential in Cody’s climate. A professional building maintenance visit isn’t just about making things look good — it’s about protecting your investment against sun, snow, and seasonal damage.
For many clients in the Big Horn Basin, this is their first experience with structured building maintenance. Here’s what’s included and why it matters.
Visual Inspection Comes First
Before we lift a tool or fire up a power washer, we assess the property. That includes checking for:
- Signs of water damage or rot on siding or trim
- Cracked caulking around windows
- Warped gutters or downspouts
- Mold, algae, or hard water stains
- Shifting concrete on sidewalks or foundations
By catching these issues early, we help you avoid major repairs later. Many homeowners don’t realize they have damage until it becomes visible from the inside.
Exterior Washing: More Than Just Looks
We pressure wash or soft wash the building exterior, depending on the material. This removes months (or years) of built-up grime, cobwebs, and windblown debris.
In Cody, where dust and ash can accumulate quickly, pressure washing isn’t just cosmetic. Clean surfaces reflect sunlight more efficiently and last longer without paint or sealant damage.
Window & Gutter Cleaning
Clean windows make a huge difference in curb appeal and lighting inside the building. We use ladders, water-fed poles, and specialty cleaners to ensure every window is spotless.
Gutter cleaning is also included in most visits. In this region, clogged gutters are the #1 cause of ice damming and water damage during winter. We remove leaves, sediment, and check for alignment or leaks.
Walkway & Surface Cleaning
Sidewalks, driveways, patios, and entryways take a beating year-round. Our team uses surface cleaners and degreasers to remove:
- Dirt and moss
- Oil and rust stains
- Slippery algae buildup
This is especially important for businesses with foot traffic. A clean, safe walkway is part of maintaining a professional image — and reducing liability.
Landscaping Check
If you have seasonal landscaping included in your service, we’ll review plant health, irrigation line placement, and trim overgrowth around the building. A clean exterior looks even better when framed by neat landscaping.
Ongoing Maintenance Planning
At the end of the visit, we provide a brief report of what we did, what we found, and what you should plan for next season. This helps you stay ahead of issues and plan your budget around real needs, not surprises.
Why It Matters
In Cody, buildings are constantly exposed to dust, ice, and sun — sometimes all in the same week. Skipping maintenance might not hurt today, but in six months you could be dealing with peeling paint, water stains, or cracked gutters.
Hiring a professional means:
- The job gets done right
- You reduce risk and liability
- You protect the value of your property
- You save time and stress
Freedom Exterior Services helps homeowners and business owners keep their buildings strong, clean, and ready for whatever the weather throws at us.
