    A Higher Standard of Exterior Care in Northeast Ohio

    Most Northeast Ohio homes don't fail because of one bad storm. They fail quietly — algae feeding on north-facing siding, organic streaks creeping down asphalt shingles, salt and freeze-thaw chewing the surface of the driveway.

    Elite Guard exists for the homeowner who notices that. The owner who wants the work done once, done correctly, and done without a single bent gutter or trampled hosta to show for it.

    We work the way a neighbor would expect a neighbor to work, serving homeowners across Northeast Ohio.

    Property Stewardship, Not Just Pressure

    High pressure on the wrong surface is the single most common way an exterior gets damaged. Stripped paint, water forced behind vinyl, etched stamped concrete, granules blasted off shingles — all of it preventable.

    Our crews are trained to read each surface before they choose a method. Soft wash chemistry handles anything organic. High pressure is reserved for the flatwork that asks for it.

    What Property Stewardship Looks Like on a Job Site:

    1. 1.Pre-walk the property. We mark sprinkler heads, low-voltage lights, loose downspouts, and any flowering perennials that need extra cover.
    2. 2.Saturate the landscaping. Foundation beds, mulched borders, and ornamental trees are soaked before any cleaning solution is mixed.
    3. 3.Match the method to the surface. Soft wash for siding and shingles. Surface cleaner for driveways and patios. Hand detail for windows, posts, and trim.
    4. 4.Mid-job rinse cycles. Plants get re-watered as we move section to section — not just at the end of the day.
    5. 5.Closing walkthrough. Before-and-after photos, a written note on anything we spotted (loose flashing, soft fascia, failing caulk), and the spigot left exactly how we found it.

    Built for the Way Ohio Weather Actually Works

    The humidity that rolls south off Lake Erie and the freeze-thaw cycles that grind through every Northeast Ohio winter create a very specific kind of grime. Black streaks on west-facing shingles. Green film on the shaded side of vinyl. White mineral lines from in-ground irrigation hitting brick all summer.

    We've calibrated our chemistry, our dwell times, and our scheduling rhythm to that exact climate. It's why a single annual visit usually holds — and why a yearly cadence sits at the core of our residential service plans.

    House Washing

    Starting at $299

    Restore your home's curb appeal in a single afternoon.

    Get Estimate

    Over time, Northeast Ohio's humidity and tree cover allow algae, mold, mildew, and airborne pollutants to build up on your siding. Our soft wash process applies a biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down organic growth at the source — then a low-pressure rinse washes it all away without forcing water behind panels or damaging paint.

    What's included

    • Safe for vinyl, brick, stucco & wood siding
    • Eliminates allergens & mold spores
    • Extends siding lifespan by years
    • Boosts curb appeal & resale value
    • Eco-friendly, plant-safe solutions
    • Results visible same day

    Compatible Surfaces

    Vinyl sidingBrickStuccoWoodHardy boardPainted surfaces

    Our Process

    • Pre-rinse — We wet down all surrounding plants and landscaping to protect them.
    • Apply solution — Biodegradable soft wash solution is applied to all exterior surfaces.
    • Dwell & dissolve — The solution dwells for 5–10 minutes, killing algae, mold, and mildew.
    • Low-pressure rinse — Everything is rinsed clean at safe pressures — no damage, no streaks.

    Roof Washing

    Starting at $400

    Remove black streaks and algae before they shorten your roof's life.

    Get Estimate

    Those black streaks on your shingles are Gloeocapsa Magma — a bacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it degrades granules, accelerates aging, and can void manufacturer warranties. Our ARMA-approved soft wash treatment kills it at the root and restores your roof's appearance without a single drop of high-pressure water.

    What's included

    • ARMA-approved soft wash method
    • No high-pressure water on shingles
    • Kills algae, moss & lichen at the root
    • Protects shingle manufacturer warranty
    • Improves energy efficiency
    • Prevents premature roof replacement

    Compatible Surfaces

    Our Process

    • Inspection — We assess the roof condition, pitch, and level of growth before starting.
    • Protect surroundings — Plants, gutters, and windows are covered or pre-wetted.
    • Soft wash application — Solution is applied at low pressure from the ridge down.
    • Rinse & inspect — Light rinse removes residue; we inspect every section before finishing.

    Driveway & Surface Cleaning

    Starting at $125

    Concrete, pavers, and patios cleaned streak-free with professional surface equipment.

    Get Estimate

    Oil stains, tire marks, moss, and years of embedded dirt make hardscapes look neglected — and can become genuine slip hazards. We use commercial-grade surface cleaners that clean in consistent, overlapping passes, so you get an even result without the streaks and lines that come from a wand alone. Great for driveways, patios, pool decks, sidewalks, and more.

    What's included

    • Commercial surface cleaner — no streaks
    • Removes oil stains, tire marks & moss
    • Eliminates slip hazards
    • Works on concrete, pavers & asphalt
    • Improves property appearance
    • Prep surface for sealing or staining

    Our Process

    • Pre-treat — Oil stains and heavy spots are pre-treated with a degreaser.
    • Surface clean — Commercial rotary surface cleaner covers the area evenly.
    • Edge & detail — Edges and corners are cleaned with a wand for a complete finish.
    • Final rinse — All debris is rinsed to the street or a collection area.

    Gutter Cleaning

    Starting at $249

    Keep water flowing away from your foundation, not into it.

    Get Estimate

    Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of foundation damage, fascia rot, and basement flooding. We hand-clear all debris from gutters and flush every downspout to confirm full flow. Available as a standalone service or bundled with house washing for maximum value.

    What's included

    • Hand-cleared gutters & flushed downspouts
    • Prevents foundation & fascia damage
    • Eliminates standing water & pest habitat
    • Identifies damage before it worsens
    • Available as an add-on to any service

    • Flow test — We run water through the system to verify complete drainage.
    • Report — We flag any damaged sections, sagging, or missing hangers.

    Wood & Deck Cleaning

    Starting at $150

    Bring wood back to life — decks, pavilions, fences, gazebos and more.

    Get Estimate

    Wood takes a beating through Ohio's freeze-thaw winters and humid summers. Mold, mildew, and embedded dirt make wood look gray and weathered. We never use bleach to restore wood — we use the proper wood-safe chemicals paired with light pressure to lift the gray and bring the natural color back, leaving the surface ready for sealing or staining if desired.

    What's included

    • Safe for wood & composite materials
    • Removes mold, mildew & gray weathering
    • Prep surface for stain or sealer
    • Prevents splintering & deterioration
    • Extends deck lifespan
    • Safe for surrounding vegetation

    Compatible Surfaces

    Our Process

    • Pre-wet — Deck and surrounding plants are pre-wetted before any solution is applied.
    • Apply cleaner — A wood-safe brightener or deck cleaner is applied across the surface.
    • Pressure wash — Surface is cleaned following the wood grain at appropriate pressure.
    • Rinse & dry — Everything is thoroughly rinsed; deck is left ready for staining if needed.

    Concrete Sealing

    Starting at $0.75 / sq ft

    Lock in your clean concrete with a penetrating siloxane-silane sealer.

    Get Estimate

    After a proper surface cleaning, we apply a premium siloxane-silane penetrating sealer that bonds below the surface without changing the look of your concrete. It repels water, road salt, and oil before they can etch or stain — the single best way to protect Northeast Ohio driveways, patios, and sidewalks through freeze-thaw cycles.

    What's included

    • Siloxane-silane penetrating sealer
    • Repels water, salt & oil
    • No slippery film or glossy residue
    • Extends concrete life by years
    • Ideal after surface cleaning
    • Matte or wet-look options available

    Compatible Surfaces

    Our Process

    • Clean & dry — Concrete is surface-cleaned and given 24–48 hours to fully dry.
    • Repair prep — Minor cracks and open joints are addressed so sealer bonds evenly.
    • Apply sealer — Siloxane-silane sealer is applied evenly in thin, penetrating coats.
    • Cure check — We verify cure and leave you with care instructions and a maintenance reminder.

    Every Surface of a Northeast Ohio Home

    A ranch, a colonial, and a historic farmhouse all need a different touch. We've refined the technique for each material so the same crew that soft-washes your shingles can also restore the back deck without raising the grain.
