Two services, one team. We clear debris from inside your gutters and clean the exterior to remove ugly tiger stripes and oxidation.
Gutters exist for one reason: to move water away from your home. When they're clogged with leaves, pine needles, and debris, water overflows. That overflow runs down your siding, pools around your foundation, and can cause serious (expensive) problems over time.
In Charlotte, we have a lot of trees. Oaks, pines, sweetgums, and more. Every fall they drop leaves and seeds directly into your gutters. Even homes with gutter guards can get debris buildup on top of the guards that needs to be cleared.
Regular gutter cleaning is one of the cheapest forms of home maintenance. It prevents water damage to your foundation, keeps your landscaping from getting washed out, and stops that annoying waterfall over your front door when it rains.

Notice those dark streaks running down the face of your white or light-colored gutters? That's called tiger striping. It happens when dirt, pollen, and oxidation from the aluminum build up on the exterior surface. Rain doesn't wash it off—it actually makes it worse by creating those distinctive stripe patterns.
Gutter brightening is exterior cleaning. We apply a specialized solution that breaks down the oxidation and buildup, then rinse it away. The result is gutters that look new again, not the dingy, streaked appearance that drags down your home's curb appeal.
We check debris levels and note any visible damage to report to you.
We remove debris from your gutters and flush downspouts if necessary.
We make sure water can flow into each downspout. If a downspout is clogged internally, we can clear it for an additional charge.
We clean up your property and leave it looking neat.
Here's a real story. One of our techs showed up for a scheduled gutter cleaning. He got up on the roof, checked every section, and the gutters were already clear. Maybe the homeowner had cleaned them recently, or maybe the trees hadn't dropped yet.
He came down and told the customer what he found. We didn't charge them. We could have. Some companies would have. But that's not how we operate.
We're in this for the long haul. We'd rather have a customer for life than squeeze them for money they don't owe us. That's the kind of company we're building.
We recommend fall and spring cleanings. At minimum, clean them once a year after the leaves have fallen. If you have a lot of trees near your house, you might need more frequent cleaning. Even homes with gutter guards sometimes need debris cleared from on top of the guards.
Sometimes yes. Gutter guards help, but debris can pile up on top of them. Pine needles especially can work their way through. We can clean debris off your guards and check that they're working properly.
We clear the entrance to each downspout as part of standard service. If downspouts are clogged internally, clearing them is priced separately because the time required varies widely. We'll let you know if we find any clogged downspouts.
We report back anything we notice while we're up there: loose hangers, damaged sections, separated joints, etc. We're not gutter repair specialists, but we'll tell you what we see so you can address it.
It depends on your property. We might bag it for disposal, blow it into a wooded area, or blow it off the roof into landscaping beds. We choose the approach that makes sense for your situation and clean up after ourselves.
Gutter cleaning (cleanout) removes leaves, debris, and clogs from inside your gutters so water flows properly. Gutter brightening cleans the exterior face of your gutters to remove tiger striping, oxidation, and discoloration. They're different services that address different problems. Many customers get both done at the same time since we're already there with the equipment.
Tiger stripes are dark vertical streaks on the outside of gutters. They form when dirt, pollen, and pollutants mix with the natural oxidation of aluminum gutters. Rainwater washes this mixture down the face of the gutter, leaving behind those distinctive dark lines. Regular rain actually makes them worse over time. The only way to remove them is with a specialized cleaning solution—pressure washing alone won't do it.
