IN THE NEWS

They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression—and when it comes to your commercial property, the outside of your building speaks volumes before anyone steps through the door. Whether you run an office, retail store, or other facility, exterior building cleaning plays a crucial role in both your brand image and the long-term preservation of your property.

At Modern of Edmonton North, we know that cleanliness isn’t just about what’s inside. Here’s why investing in regular exterior building cleaning is a smart, strategic move for any business.

First Impressions Matter

The exterior of your building is often the first thing clients, employees, and visitors see. Dirt, algae, graffiti, oil stains, and mildew not only make a building look unkempt, but they can also signal neglect, affecting your professional image.

For retail businesses, curb appeal can impact foot traffic and purchasing behaviour. For offices, it can influence hiring, retention, and client perception. A well-maintained exterior sends a clear message: you care about quality, details, and professionalism.

Prolong the Life of Exterior Materials

Your building’s facade is constantly exposed to the elements—UV rays, pollution, rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, dirt, grime, mold, and environmental buildup can degrade exterior surfaces, especially porous materials like:

• Stone and Brickwork
• Concrete and Sidewalks
• Asphalt Driveways and Parking Lots
• Stucco and Painted Surfaces

Regular cleaning not only enhances the look of these surfaces but also prevents long-term damage. Algae and mold, for example, can eat away at stonework and paint. Oil stains and salt buildup can break down asphalt. By investing in routine exterior cleaning, you’re also investing in the longevity of your building’s materials—which translates to fewer costly repairs down the line.

Improve Safety and Compliance

Slippery sidewalks, moss-covered stairs, and neglected parking lots pose more than an aesthetic issue—they're safety hazards. Exterior cleaning helps remove buildup that can cause slips, falls, or liability claims, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Modern of Edmonton North uses eco-friendly cleaning products and industry-approved equipment to clean surfaces thoroughly and safely, reducing risk while protecting the environment.

Maintain Property Value

Whether you own or lease your space, the condition of your building’s exterior has a direct impact on property value and maintenance costs. A clean exterior requires fewer repairs, attracts better tenants or customers, and creates long-term asset protection.
