Stay off the ladder. The Crystal Clean elves get on the roof and install everything in one trip.
No climbing in January — we take everything down for you.
The lights are labelled and stored safely, ready for next season.

I am beyond impressed with Dylan and his work ethic! The outside of our home was in dire need of help. Dylan delivered beyond my expectations! The entire place is rejuvenated and looks brand new! Dylan arrived on time, he is professional, polite and respectful. I felt entirely comfortable having him in and around my home. I will hire Crystal Clean again in a heartbeat. The proof is in the results! Do not hesitate to contact Dylan! I am recommending him to every home owner I know! Check out a few before and after pics! Thanks so much, Dylan. We are thrilled with the results.
We had Crystal Clean Exteriors Christmas Lights service last year (2026) I loved how the lights reminded me of how our lights were put up when I was a child, it was colourful and 'Crismasy' and I have called them back for this year, they are adding lights around our front door this time. I highly recommend! Excellent service, Dylan is very thoughtful and professional.
I almost cried when I saw the finished windows!! They were so clear it looked like there was no glass in them! He cleaned both inside and outside windows. Dylan was very professional, very well mannered and made sure to clean up after himself. I would highly recommend Dylans services to anyone
We highly recommend Dylan and his contracting services. He did a great job washing the house, cleaning the windows, clearing the gutters, and taking care of some small touch-ups/repairs. He is professional, reliable, thorough, and pays attention to the details. Everything was completed neatly and efficiently, and the results look great. We’re very happy with Dylan’s work and look forward to seeing his again next year!
We hired Dylan to install our Christmas lights for the last several years and we are more than happy with his work. He is professional, kind, and hard working. What stands out the most is how much he loves his job! We will continue to recommend Crystal clean exteriors to our friends and family!
Top notch, very professional service. Dylan started the job on time and did a thorough job of cleaning our white siding and windows. He is quick, efficient and works hard to give you the best job possible. The price is reasonable and well worth it. I highly recommend Crystal Clean Exteriors, you will be more than pleased with the results of the job!
I cannot say enough good about Dylan and his services. We bought a new home this year that required some attention and we needed some support in correcting the moss and dirt build up that had been allowed to accumulate, as we struggled to prioritize the many projects. Thank you, Dylan, for your attention to detail, your excellent customer service and for the amazing before and after transformation!! Our home is shiny, clean and beautiful once again!!! ❤️
The results are incredible! In only a couple of hours our house was completely refreshed and looks brand new. The service was great and friendly. It's definitely a company I would recommend to others.
What an amazing transformation Dylan accomplished with this service. My home siding exteriors look new and windows are shiny. Highly recommend this service, and Dylan is professional and dedicated to his work.
Our second time dealing with Crystal Clean Exteriors and Dylan and his team did not disappoint. We had our gutters cleaned and well worth it. They did a great job as per before and after photos supplied. Highly recommend their services. Thank you!
Dylan helped us get Mazi ready with exterior building cleaning, window cleaning and patio preparation cleaning. We always have great service from Dylan and his team! Fantastic guy to work with 10/10 recommend
I cannot recommend this business enough! My husband and I recently moved into our new home at the beginning of December and had very little time to get ready for Christmas. Dylan did a fantastic job putting up our Christmas lights for us. Our home looked beautiful! We will definitely be calling him again next Christmas!
We were so happy to have Dylan and his coworker come over to clean the outside of our house garage and shed. They are very professional and very polite. Definitely a five star rating and looking forward to having them come back again. Excellent work thank you Dylan.
If you’re on the fence about whether to do this, you absolutely should! I can’t stop staring at the outside of my home. Dylan worked for nearly 3–4 hours, giving it his full effort and attention. He takes great time and care in his work, and the results show! Truly worth every penny! Amazing!
Very impressed! Courteous, and professional, Crystal Clean Exteriors delivers what they promise. Our house needed a very big clean up. Dylan even had products for hard water stains on the windows! Would highly recommend Dylan and his sidekick Rene! Great job guys! 👏🏻👏🏻
What a great experience with this company, Very professional, polite and the work was outstanding. Would highly recommend this company to clean your house, windows, siding, soffit facia. We will definitely hire them again.
Dylan and his team member did an excellent job cleaning the siding, soffits and gutters on my house. They were punctual and professional. The difference is amazing. I definitely be reaching out to him in the future.
Crystal clean exteriors did an amazing job today. They cleaned the windows, the sofit and facia, all the siding, the gutters and my duradeck. Everything turned out awesome. Thanks so much Dylan.
Dylan was so quick to respond, and was so professional and fast. We love how our Christmas lights turned out and can’t wait to work with him on future projects!

Service area
Based in Sudbury and on the road every day across the city and surrounding communities. Not on the list? Ask — we often travel a little further.
A custom design mockup of your home, commercial-grade lights, installation in one visit, maintenance during the season, removal after the holidays and storage until next year.
September or October is ideal. You get your choice of install dates before the roofs turn icy, and the lights glowing by early December.
Custom, energy-efficient LED lighting installed along your roofline for year-round use. You control colours and effects from an app — warm white every night, themes for holidays, game days and events.
Soft washing cleans siding, stucco and other delicate surfaces with low-pressure water and an eco-friendly cleaning solution. It removes algae, moss and grime at the root without the damage high pressure can cause.
As a general guide: gutters at least twice a year (spring and fall), windows once or twice a year, and a full exterior wash every few years — more often in shaded or mossy spots. We can recommend a schedule after seeing your property.
