Front of the house, done in one visit

Curb Appeal in St. Paul & Minneapolis

Windows washed, lawn mowed and edged, walk and driveway power washed. The whole front of your house handled by one crew in one trip.

What We Do Out Front

Nobody judges a house from the back yard. The curb appeal package covers everything a person sees from the street and from the front step, in the order that makes each part come out right.

  • Front windows washed inside and out, with screens, frames, and sills
  • Lawn mowed, then edged along the walk, driveway, and beds
  • Trimming around the steps, mailbox, lamp post, and foundation
  • Walkway, front steps, and porch power washed
  • Driveway and apron washed clean of winter salt and tire marks
  • Cobwebs cleared from the entry, porch ceiling, and light fixtures
  • Front gutter faces and downspouts washed
  • Clippings and debris blown off and hauled away

Add to it

Anything else we do can ride along on the same visit, which is cheaper than booking it separately later.

  • Driveway sealing, to finish the front with fresh black asphalt
  • Windows on the whole house, not just the front
  • Full gutter clean-out, inside the troughs and down the spouts
  • Siding, deck, fence, and patio washing

Priced per property

Every front is a different size, so we quote yours after a free ten-minute look, and you get one number for the whole thing.

When People Book It

Curb appeal work is almost always tied to a date on the calendar.

Before the listing photos

The first photo in a listing is almost always the front of the house. Clean glass, cut grass, and a bright driveway change that photo more than anything else you can do in a day.

Before people come over

A graduation party, a wedding, a holiday, or family flying in. The front of the house is what everyone sees first and photographs in front of.

After a Minnesota winter

Snow melts and leaves behind salt on the driveway, sand on the walk, grit on the windows, and a flattened lawn. One spring visit resets all of it.

For real estate agents

Listing going live? We get the front ready before the photographer does.

One call, one invoice, and a front of the house that photographs well. We work to your photo date and send you a before-and-after of the front.

How It Works

Three steps, and the first one is free.

1. We walk the front with you

Free, and it takes about ten minutes. We look at the windows, the lawn, the concrete, and the entry, and tell you what we would do and what it costs. No obligation.

2. One crew, one visit

Everything happens in the same trip, in the right order: mow and trim first, then wash the house and glass, then the concrete, then blow the whole front clean.

3. You look at it before we leave

We walk the front with you again at the end. If something is not right, we fix it then and there. That is the Gleam Guarantee, same as our window cleaning.

Want just one piece of it? We also do window cleaning, power washing, gutter cleaning, and driveway sealing, and snow removal on their own.

Curb Appeal Questions

What is a curb appeal package?

It is everything that makes the front of a house look cared for, done in one visit instead of four. Windows, lawn, edging, and the concrete out front. Most people book it before they sell, before they host, or right after the snow is gone.

How long does it take?

A typical city lot takes half a day. Larger properties, or a front that has been left alone for a few years, can run a full day. We tell you which one yours is when we quote it.

Do I need to be home?

No. We need water access and a way to reach the front of the house. If you want interior windows done too, someone has to let us in, and we can schedule that part around you.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of the front, the state of the lawn, and how much concrete there is, so we price it after a free walk-through rather than guessing online. Ask for a free curb appeal quote and you will get one clear number for the whole front of the house. You do not pay until the work is done.

Can you do the back of the house too?

Yes. The package is built around the front because that is what buyers and visitors see, but we can add the back windows, the deck, the patio, or the rest of the lawn to the same visit.

Can you do it on a deadline?

Usually, yes, and this comes up most with listings. Tell us the date the photographer is coming and we will work backward from it. Agents can see how we handle listing work on our page for real estate agents.

What months can you do this?

Roughly April through October in the Twin Cities. Washing needs the weather above freezing, and the lawn work needs the grass to be growing. Driveway sealing is the tightest window of all and usually runs from late May into September. In winter the front of the house is a different job, and we do that one too: shoveling and salting the walk, steps, and driveway after every snowfall.

Make the Front Look Like That

Tell us the date it needs to look good by. We will walk the front with you for free and give you one number.
