Window Cleaning & Christmas Light Installation in Lacombe
Lacombe pairs century-old homes around its historic downtown with new builds on the edge of the city, and each needs a different touch on glass, siding and gutters. OutWest cleans both, safely from the ground, and installs Christmas lights across the city every winter.

All About Lacombe
Lacombe is about 25 kilometres north of Red Deer on Highway 2A, incorporated as a village in 1896, a town in 1902, and Alberta's seventeenth city in 2010. Its downtown is the reason people stop here, a block of restored Edwardian buildings anchored by the Flatiron Building, which now holds a museum and interpretive centre. The Michener House, built in 1894, is the oldest building in the city, and the Lacombe Blacksmith Shop Museum claims to be the oldest operating blacksmith shop in Alberta. That heritage core sits alongside newer subdivisions on the edges of town, so a single street can hold a century-old home and a two-storey build from last year. They need different handling, and we treat them differently. The same care applies in winter, when our crews handle Christmas light installation in Lacombe on heritage trim and new builds alike, and in summer with pressure washing for Lacombe driveways and decks.

Where We Work From
We work out of Red Deer and cover Central Alberta from there. Blackfalds and Penhold are short runs up and down Highway 2A, Sylvan Lake is about 25 kilometres west on Highway 11, and Lacombe sits 25 kilometres north. The farther towns run on route days: Ponoka up the QEII, Innisfail and Olds to the south, Stettler out east along Highway 12. Booking more than one service, or joining neighbours on the same day, keeps the farther trips efficient for everyone.
Common Exterior Care Challenges in Lacombe
Edwardian heritage downtown
The restored buildings around the Flatiron have original wood, painted trim and detailing that pressure washing would destroy. These get soft washed at low pressure or they do not get washed.
Century homes with original glazing
Homes dating back toward the Michener House era have older glazing and putty in the sashes. They need care around the frames, not volume.
Two highway corridors through town
Highway 2A and Highway 12 both run through Lacombe, and the winter grit they carry settles on everything near them.

Heritage Downtown Meets New Subdivisions
Lacombe's restored Edwardian buildings near the Flatiron give the downtown a look most Central Alberta towns do not have, and that comes with older wood trim, painted brick, and glazing that a pressure washer would ruin in seconds. A few blocks away, the newer subdivisions on the edges of the city have vinyl and hardy board siding and two-storey elevations that need reach rather than gentleness.
Our crews adjust equipment and pressure settings block by block through Lacombe rather than running one setting for the whole job list.

How the Seasons Play Out Here
Highway 2A and Highway 12 both cut through Lacombe, and every spring the gravel dust and salt residue from winter driving settles heaviest on the homes closest to those corridors. As the season moves into summer, downtown's mature street trees drop seed fluff that clogs eavestroughs on the older character homes faster than the newer subdivisions see it.
By late fall, we are focused on getting eavestroughs cleared before the first hard freeze, since ice damming on an older roofline with less insulation can cause real damage if meltwater has nowhere to drain. Winter chinooks then bring repeated freeze thaw swings that test any gutter still holding debris.
Buildup Specific to Lacombe Properties
Century-era homes near the historic core often still have original glazing and putty, which means cleaning has to happen carefully around the frames instead of blasting straight at the glass. The two highway corridors bring a road film that settles on siding facing Highway 2A and Highway 12 more heavily than on interior streets.
We also see wasp nests forming under soffits on the older homes with more overhang, something worth checking before a fall gutter cleaning appointment rather than after.
Our Route Up From Red Deer
Lacombe sits about 25 kilometres north of Red Deer on Highway 2A, and we treat it as a standing stop on our regular route north, which keeps scheduling straightforward for both residential streets and Main Street businesses.
Christmas Lights for Old and New
We install holiday lighting on Lacombe's heritage storefronts downtown as well as private homes in the newer subdivisions, adjusting mounting methods so nothing damages older trim or masonry. Takedown and storage are part of the service either way.

What the Highways Bring
Beyond the two highway corridors, Lacombe's downtown parking areas see calcium and salt residue on concrete every winter, and a spring pressure wash brings the pavers and sidewalks back before the summer festival season starts.
