Outdoor & Exterior Work
The outside of your house says a lot.
From the moment someone pulls into the driveway, walks up the path, and sees your home’s exterior, they’re forming an impression. Keeping things clean, safe, and in top condition isn’t just about appearances—it’s about maintenance, protection, and extending the life of your property.
I’m Scott Luscombe, your local handyman in Port Perry, and I provide a complete range of outdoor and exterior services. Whether it’s gutter cleaning, fence repair, deck staining, or power washing siding, I bring the right tools, ladder, and know-how to make sure your property always looks its best.
Why Exterior Work Matters in Port Perry
Living in Port Perry Ontario, especially near Lake Scugog, comes with the beauty of changing seasons. But those same seasons bring challenges: leaves fall and clogged gutters can damage your roof and even your home’s foundation; freezing winter conditions cause rot and cracks; spring dirt and summer storms leave behind debris.
That’s why regular cleaning, inspection, and repair matter. A little care goes a long way in helping homeowners avoid expensive water damage, warped wood fences, or peeling painted siding. With the right services, you can protect your investment, improve security, and keep your property safe for your family year-round.
Exterior Services I Provide
Here’s a breakdown of my most popular services, all designed to help you maintain your home’s exterior in every season.
Gutter Cleaning and Repair
Few tasks are as important as keeping gutters clear. I clean gutters, repair damaged sections, and inspect downspouts for leaks. Left unchecked, clogged gutters overflow, causing water damage to siding, roof, and even your home’s foundation. I’ll remove leaves, twigs, and other debris with the right tools, hose, and sturdy ladder, keeping everything flowing as it should.
