ELITE ENVIRONMENT

The Exterior Preservation Plan

Stewardship. Clarity. Consistency.

Your home is not a project.

It is an asset.

In Western North Carolina, humidity, pollen, shade, and temperature swings create ideal conditions for organic buildup. Most properties are cleaned reactively — after streaking, algae, or staining is already visible.

At Elite, we operate differently.

Our Exterior Preservation Plan is a rolling, proactive maintenance program designed to keep your property in guest-ready condition year-round — without aggressive restoration cycles.

This is structured exterior stewardship.

Why Maintenance Works

Reactive cleaning requires:

  • Stronger chemistry
  • More surface friction
  • More disruption

Repeated heavy restoration accelerates surface wear.

Maintenance allows:

  • Lighter treatments
  • Lower pressure
  • Controlled, surface-safe processes
  • Consistent appearance year-round

Maintenance protects materials and reduces long-term cost.

How the Plan Works

Every property begins with a required Initial Reset Service to establish a clean baseline.

After that, the home enters a rolling four-visit annual cycle based on your start date and season.

The program is built around:

  • Low-pressure methods (where applicable)
  • Professional soft-wash processes
  • Phase-based scheduling (not strictly calendar-based)

The objective is to:

  • Prevent environmental buildup before it bonds
  • Maintain presentation year-round
  • Reduce heavy restoration frequency
  • Keep surfaces efficient to service

This is preservation — not transactional cleaning.

The Rolling Preservation Cycle

  • Cobweb removal
  • Courtesy Observations

🌼 Phase 2 — Organic Buildup Control

Control buildup during high exposure season.

  • Targeted exterior treatment of buildup-prone areas

  • Organic suppression (shaded zones)
  • Light entryway refresh
  • Light walkway refresh
  • Cobweb removal
  • Courtesy Observations

🍂 Phase 3 — Debris Control (Fall)

Control debris and organic buildup before winter.

  • Gutter clearing (as required)
  • Leaf tannin spot treatment (on included surfaces)
  • Surface rinse of buildup-prone areas
  • Organic suppression
  • Light entryway refresh
  • Light walkway refresh
  • Cobweb removal
  • Courtesy Observation

❄️ Phase 4 — Winter Preservation

  • North-facing algae prevention
  • Light spot rinsing where needed
  • Exterior gutter inspection for blockage
  • Light entryway refresh
  • Light walkway refresh
  • Cobweb removal
  • Courtesy Observation

What’s Included in Each Visit

Each maintenance visit includes:

  • Targeted exterior treatments based on seasonal need
  • Light organic suppression where appropriate
  • Light entryway refresh
  • Light walkway refresh
  • Cobweb removal from accessible areas
  • Window service (if enrolled)

Maintenance is controlled, strategic, and surface-appropriate.

Courtesy Observations

At every visit, our team performs informal exterior observations.

This includes noting visible concerns such as:

  • Loose downspouts
  • Lifted flashing
  • Minor overflow issues
  • Peeling or failing paint
  • Rotting wood

This is not a formal inspection or warranty.

It is an added layer of stewardship.

If something requires attention, we communicate clearly.

🪟 Window Cleaning

ClearView

  • Exterior-only window cleaning

Surface Protection & Sealing

As part of the preservation strategy, exterior hardscapes and select surfaces may be sealed on a three-year cycle or earlier if performance failure is observed. This service is optional but highly recommended.

  • Paver sealing
  • Concrete / aggregate sealing
  • Stone sealing
  • Deck oiling / staining
  • Seal coating

Protective coatings improve durability and ease of maintenance but are not a warranty against wear, damage, or environmental effects.
