Professional gutter cleaning throughout the Queen City. Charlotte's famous tree canopy means serious debris in your gutters. We remove it all and keep your home protected from water damage.
Charlotte is known for its urban forest. Those massive oaks lining Queens Road, the towering pines throughout Eastover, the sweetgums in Dilworth. They're gorgeous, they keep neighborhoods cool in summer, and they dump an incredible amount of debris into your gutters.
Every fall, Charlotte homeowners watch leaves pile up in their gutters. But fall isn't the only problem. Pines drop needles year-round. Oaks drop tassels in spring and acorns in fall. Maples drop seeds that clog downspouts. And all that organic material sits in your gutters, holds moisture, and starts decomposing.
Clogged gutters aren't just an inconvenience. When water can't flow through properly, it overflows, running down your siding, pooling at your foundation, and potentially causing thousands of dollars in damage. Charlotte gets over 43 inches of rain annually, and we see heavy summer thunderstorms that can dump inches in hours. Your gutters need to be clear to handle that water.
Straightforward pricing for Charlotte homeowners
Charlotte's most beautiful neighborhoods have the most challenging gutter situations. Mature oaks over 50 years old, some approaching 100, drop massive amounts of leaves and acorns. Many homes here have extensive gutter systems with multiple levels, valleys, and decorative elements. We recommend quarterly cleaning for homes directly under large oak canopies.
These historic neighborhoods were planted with diverse tree species decades ago. You'll see oaks, pines, sweetgums, and maples all on the same block. Different trees drop debris at different times, so your gutters fill up multiple times per year. Older homes here may also have original gutters that need gentle handling.
Established in the 70s and 80s, these neighborhoods have mature trees that have grown tall enough to overhang rooflines. We see a lot of pine needle accumulation here, which is particularly problematic because needles slip through gutter guards and form dense mats that hold water and promote rot.
Newer neighborhoods have younger trees but aren't immune to gutter problems. As these areas mature, gutter cleaning needs increase each year. These neighborhoods often have larger homes with more linear feet of gutters, which means more to clean. HOA requirements also tend to be stricter about exterior maintenance.
Thorough, careful, professional
We check debris levels, identify any visible damage, and note areas that need special attention. Charlotte homes often have complex gutter systems that require careful planning.
We remove leaves, pine needles, acorns, and decomposed organic matter from all gutters. In Charlotte, this often means significant accumulation, especially in mature neighborhoods.
We ensure water can flow into each downspout. If downspouts are clogged internally (common after storms), we can clear them for an additional charge.
We clean up your property and let you know about any gutter damage we noticed. Loose hangers, separated seams, and other issues are common in Charlotte's older homes.
Notice those dark streaks running down the face of your gutters? That's tiger striping, and it's incredibly common in Charlotte due to our humidity and frequent rainfall. The streaks form when dirt, pollen, and oxidation build up on your gutters' exterior surface. Rain doesn't wash it away. It actually makes the streaking worse.
Gutter brightening is a separate service from gutter cleaning. While cleaning removes debris from inside your gutters, brightening cleans the exterior face to remove those unsightly stripes. The result is gutters that look new again, which makes a huge difference in your home's curb appeal.
Charlotte's famous tree canopy is the main culprit. The city has worked hard to maintain its urban forest, which is beautiful but means a lot of debris in your gutters. Oak trees drop leaves and acorns, pines drop needles year-round, and sweetgums drop those spiky balls. In mature neighborhoods like Myers Park, Dilworth, and Eastover, trees often overhang directly above rooflines, filling gutters within weeks of cleaning.
Most Charlotte gutter cleanings run $150-$350 depending on home size, number of stories, and debris level. Our minimum service is $350 when combined with other services, or standalone pricing starts lower for gutter-only cleanings. Larger homes in areas like Myers Park or Ballantyne with extensive gutters are quoted individually. Downspout clearing for internal clogs is priced separately based on time required.
Mature Charlotte neighborhoods with established tree canopies have the most gutter issues: Myers Park, Eastover, Dilworth, Elizabeth, Plaza Midwood, and SouthPark. These areas have large oaks, pines, and other trees that drop debris constantly. Newer neighborhoods like Ballantyne or Steele Creek have fewer immediate gutter problems, but as trees mature, the debris increases each year.
For most Charlotte homes, we recommend cleaning in late fall after the leaves have dropped and again in late spring after pollen and seed season. If you have pine trees, you may need a third cleaning since pines drop needles year-round. Homes in heavily treed areas like Myers Park may need quarterly cleaning to prevent overflow during Charlotte's frequent thunderstorms.
Gutter guards help but aren't perfect. They work well for large leaves but struggle with pine needles, oak tassels, and maple helicopters that are common in Charlotte. We regularly clean debris off the top of gutter guards. The guards prevent large clogs inside the gutter but still need periodic maintenance. If you have guards, you may need cleaning less frequently, but not never.
