Paint (exterior)
Our painters complete projects in the DMV region, with no extra mileage charges if the job location is within a 30 mile radius of 22302. Whether your painting needs are for the exterior or interior, or whether it is for a residential or commercial location, call us today! We are happy to provide you with a comprehensive quote for both paint jobs as well as clean-up, per your needs or preferences.
Gutter Cleaning and Light Repair
Gutters easily fill up during windy and rainy days: airborne seeds and pollen are notorious for taking root in gutters that have not been cleaned out. Blocked or full gutters can have an adverse effect on your home’s wellbeing. Rain water can be redirected during heavy storms that can damage your roof, drywall, foundation, basement walk-out, or siding. Clogged gutters will eventually fail, leading to an even bigger hassle or price tag.
Prevent gutter damage and protect your home by contacting Brite Maid Services for our external maintenance service packages today. While we do not install gutters, we offer gutter cleaning and can ensure your rain water is being redirected correctly.
Residential Snow Removal
In and around Northern Virginia, wintry weather mix often consists of rain and sleet that freezes overnight, with the occasional powdering of snow. This type of ground condition can in fact be far more dangerous than heavier “soft” snow accumulation. Allow us to settle your snow anxieties! Our crew will arrive at the right time to ensure the walk paths around your home, or between your door, car, and sidewalk are clear, dry, and safe. By the time you are ready to venture outside, your driveway, porch, stairs, and walk paths are ready for you and your loved ones.
Leaf Collection and Mulching Services
We enjoy all four seasons here in the DMV, but Fall holds a special place in the hearts of many of us as well as our neighbors. Our area is blessed with maple, oak, hickory, willow, ash, beech, birch, walnut, cherry, apple, and many other trees that start shedding their leaves come September. Our leaf removal services are designed to quickly and efficiently rid your residential or commercial property of tree-fall. We bag these leaves according to county instructions, and deposit them for yard waste pick-up at the appropriate location by or in front of your home. If you are not served by the county and require yard waste removed to a facility, we offer pricing for this service as well that will be included in your final quote. We also offer mulching services, so that your garden beds look refreshed, and also so that weed growth is prevented. Our leaf removal and mulching rates remain affordable all year around! Make your fall cleanup easier this year with our leaf removal services. Call today for more information or to schedule your appointment.
Residential Trash Removal
Do you have more than 2 standard (45 gallon) bags of trash that require hauling to the local landfill or waste disposal area? Contact us for our special pricing, where we can add-on this service to our cleaning packages, and rid you of the hassle of trash removal.
Solutions for Garage Organization & Storage
Your garage can be used for mindful storage and everyday use-- not just old bikes and dated yard equipment. Tired of seeing the “stuff” cluttering your garage? If you can’t find items, or have trouble parking, it is the right time to give our team a call. We can help you by installing:
- countertops
- shelving
- cabinets
- bike hooks
- overhead storage
- Floor polishing
Patio or Balcony Sweep
Is your balcony or patio in need of a do-over? Before you buy that new rug, furniture, or garden stool, call us so we can make sure your patio or balcony is swept clean of any tree fall, cobwebs, dust, or sediment. Patio or Balcony Sweep is an add-on service that can be requested at any time through our appointment request process.
Pressure washing
Call us for your power washing/pressure washing needs! Our trained and experienced team can power wash your deck, siding, driveway, and other exterior areas around your home. Pressure washing is advised before preparing your deck, fencing, or stairs for refinishing. While you may be considering to rent your own pressure washer and take the DIY approach, we advise caution in this matter. Most pressure washers cost $100 per day to rent. You will also have to travel to the rental location, stand in line, get the machine ready, clean the machine, refuel the machine, and return it by the deadline. Instead, call us, and we will take care of your pressure washing needs in one shot.
Exterior Window Washing
Window cleaning is a time consuming task, and often, an expensive service. Get a great deal when you book a cleaning with us by adding a window washing package! We ensure that the window cleaning job takes place on the same day as the cleaning appointment, so as to provide you with a completely spic-and-span take on your home or property. A site visit will be required to confirm the number of windows and properly account for labor and materials. We are licensed and insured so you can feel secure.
Our residential custom window cleaning services include
- Interior/exterior
- Storm windows
- Screens
- Sills
Caulking
Failed caulking or bad caulking can lead to water leaks behind tile on the walls or floors of your bathroom, which can lead to ceiling, basement, and drywall damage. Re-caulking your tub, and any windows near the tub can provide your bathroom with an updated look, and will also stop water damage and prevent mold. Restore the looks of your tub, stop water damage and prevent mold with professional caulking service from experienced home improvement professionals.

For best results, please comply with the following:
Please move furniture such as coffee tables, chairs and other similar pieces of furniture that can impede a full carpet shampoo. Pay attention to high traffic areas, as these are the areas our staff will be targeting the most, and thus require the paths to be clear of movable furniture or household clutter.
Our staff will first use a commercial grade vacuum to ensure all superficial dust, grime, and particles are picked up, prior to commencing the carpet shampoo. For this reason, if you have scheduled both a cleaning and a carpet shampoo with us, the carpet shampoo will always be the last service we provide in your home on the appointment date.
High traffic areas are pre-treated with the appropriate solvent. Brite Maid Services uses standard industry-approved solvents.
Our staff will ensure minimal liquid and water is used for the carpet shampoo, but we do advise allowing sufficient time and ventilation to allow the shampooed area to fully dry before being subject to further foot traffic.
