Elite Guard Power Washing

10/14/2026

It still feels a little surreal to see the Elite Guard Power Washing name on this list.

We are honored to be part of the Fall cohort of JumpStart Inc.’s Small Business Impact Program - Stark County. Thank you to JumpStart team for believing in what we're building and for investing in small businesses right here in our community. Over the remaining weeks, we are looking forward to learning, being challenged, and coming out the other side a better business.

It’s an honor to be alongside Mike Moyer of M&H Beans, Sophia Shaheen of Shaheen Rug Cleaning & Repair, and Amanda Probst of The Alley Cafe and Bakery. I'm (Kyle Updegrave) excited to learn from each of you, and I'm rooting for all of us. If you haven’t, I encourage you to support these local companies.

Elite Guard Power Washing is built on two things: education and service. We believe customers deserve to understand what's being done to their home and why. We also believe great service doesn't end when the job is finished. We love our customers, and we take that commitment seriously every single day.

My goal is to grow Elite Guard into a business that does more than clean homes and businesses. I want it to create jobs, support local families, and leave a lasting positive impact on the community that has supported us over the past 2+ years.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their home. This is just the beginning.

For anyone planning ahead for holiday lighting this year, I wanted to share something cool we put together.

We built a light visualizer so you can play around and see what custom seasonal Christmas lights look like on your home - zero commitment required.

🎉 2 YEARS OF ELITE GUARD POWER WASHING! 🎉

It’s officially our 2nd anniversary, and man, what a ride it has been!

If you know me, you know I’ve always had the small business bug. As a kid, I was the one knocking on your door to shovel snow or sell candy bars. As a teen, it was lawn care. But then "adult life" hit, and like many of us, I had to pivot to "big boy" jobs to pay the bills. For years, I jumped around, always feeling like something was missing.

That changed when I landed in marketing and later became the Director of Customer Success for a local IT company. I finally found my true purpose: serving people and connecting them with what they actually needed.

But that entrepreneurial itch never went away.
So, I asked myself, "What could I do that doesn’t take a genius?" (Turns out, that was the wrong question to ask! 🤣) I landed on power washing and window cleaning, picked up the phone, and started calling local businesses. Landing those first big jobs gave me the leap of faith I needed to go full-time with Elite Guard Power Washing.

The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has brought out the absolute best in me. It stretches me daily, allows me to spend precious time with my family, and lets me serve this amazing community.

We’ve only just started climbing this hill, and we are nowhere near the pinnacle of where we’re going. With God and the support of our incredible community, we will continue to grow. And with that success, we promise to give even more back to the people we were called to serve.

Thank you for an incredible 2 years. Here’s to many more! 🎉💧

Summer sunshine feels even better through sparkling windows. When we clean exteriors, we make sure to cover the glass, frames, and sills for a streak-free finish that lets in more light and lifts the look of your home.

A simple window refresh can do wonders for curb appeal. We take care of those spots and smudges so you can enjoy clearer views all season long.

Ready to schedule a cleaning? Give us a call at 330.737.1780 or visit theeliteguard.com to book your spot.

Freshening up our driveways and sidewalks can make a world of difference. After years of dirt, oil stains, and tire marks, those surfaces can look worn out. Our high-powered cleaning gets deep into concrete and hard surfaces, bringing back their original look and boosting curb appeal.

A clean walkway isn’t just about looks—it also helps keep paths safer for everyone. With summer gatherings around the corner, it’s the perfect time to get things looking sharp.

Booking is easy: call 330.737.1780 or visit theeliteguard.com to get started.

Window Cleaning: Don't Forget the Frames and Sills! 💦

✅ Clean glass looks great, but overlooking the surrounding frames and sills can cause a few hidden problems:

1️⃣ Dust & Allergens: Built-up dirt in the tracks blows right into your home when you open the windows.

2️⃣ Pests: Neglected corners are prime real estate for spiders and webs.

👀 Before you hire a window cleaner, always ask: Does your service include the glass, frames, and sills, or just the panes?

Another gutter cleaning in the books! ✅

Two things you need to know:

1️⃣ Just because you have gutter guards doesn't mean you're off the hook for maintenance. Dirt and debris still find a way in.

2️⃣ When you hire a company, make sure it's someone who actually cares-not a "splash and dash" crew that leaves a mess behind.

We do things right. In fact, we send you before and after pictures so you have total peace of mind that your gutters will flow exactly like they're supposed to the next time it rains.
