This recognition highlights Sunnyside's dedication to safe practices, high-quality workmanship, and customer-first service that has made them the top choice for thousands of homeowners across Toronto and surrounding communities. Since 1998, Sunnyside has helped homeowners protect and maintain the beauty and value of their homes through meticulous window cleaning, eavestrough maintenance, power washing, deck cleaning, snow removal, and more. The company's growth has been fueled by a simple commitment: do every job right the first time and treat each property with the care it deserves. A Reputation Built on Pride and TrustUnlike fly-by-night operations or uninsured contractors, Sunnyside sets the standard for safe, reliable exterior cleaning. The team holds comprehensive WSIB and liability insurance coverage, protecting not only their workers but also their customers from unexpected risk - a priority in an industry where above-ground work ranks among the highest for on-the-job injuries.

By offering a wide range of exterior maintenance, Sunnyside makes it easy for property owners to handle multiple tasks through one trusted provider, saving time and ensuring consistency. Putting Safety FirstSunnyside invests heavily in professional-grade equipment and staff training to maintain one of the best safety records in the business. Every technician follows strict safety protocols on ladders and roofs, and full insurance coverage means peace of mind for customers in an industry where some cut corners. Homeowners are encouraged to ask any contractor for proof of insurance - and Sunnyside is proud to show theirs. Customer Care That Goes the Extra MileHomeowners consistently praise Sunnyside for punctual arrivals, friendly crews, and spotless results. Quotes are clear and fair, jobs are completed with care, and no mess is left behind. This dedication to flawless service has earned Sunnyside strong online reviews and a steady stream of word-of-mouth referrals - the company's most valued form of advertising. "Word of mouth keeps us growing year after year because we focus on doing the job properly and treating every home with respect," the team added. Rooted in the GTA CommunityAs a locally owned company, Sunnyside Window & Eaves Cleaning has deep ties to the neighbourhoods it serves. Supporting local jobs, maintaining environmentally responsible cleaning practices, and giving back to the community whenever possible are all part of the Sunnyside difference.
