Brighter porch and path lights for Clovis homes

Clovis summer nights stay warm well after sunset, and that’s when the bugs come out. Moths, beetles and gnats circle every porch light on the block, and plenty of them crawl inside the fixture and never leave. Spiders move in next and spin webs around the housing. By the end of summer, a lantern that looked fine in daylight glows a dim, speckled yellow after dark. Homes that back up to open land or orchards on the edges of town tend to see even more of it.

Many stucco homes in newer Clovis neighborhoods have lantern-style fixtures with textured or seeded glass beside the front door and on each side of the garage. That glass hides grime well until the light comes on. Where a fixture can be safely opened, we take off the glass or cover, clear out the bugs, webs and dust, and clean the glass and housing inside and out. Sealed fixtures get a careful outside cleaning. Down low, path and landscape lights pick up hard water spots from sprinklers and get buried under bark and mulch, so we clean the lenses and pull the ground cover back. Then everything goes back together the way we found it.

Fixtures sit right next to your front door and windows, so a bug-filled light can make a freshly cleaned home look neglected. That’s why many Clovis homeowners add light cleaning to a window cleaning or house wash, especially in fall when evenings get darker earlier and family starts visiting. We also clean storefront and sign lights, walkway lights and building wall packs for shops, offices and apartment communities. We’re open 7 days a week from 5am to 10pm, licensed and insured, and every estimate is free. If something isn’t right, we’ll come back and make it right.
