Gutter brightening
Black stripes cleaned off the outside of your gutters by hand, with a clean-out inside as an option.
About the job
The black stripes on the outside of white gutters, often called tiger stripes, are dirt and roof runoff that bond to the gutter’s painted surface. A normal rinse or a house wash won’t move them.
We apply a cleaner made for gutters and work each run by hand with a soft brush, then rinse the gutters, fascia and downspouts. If the inside is full of leaves, add a clean-out: we scoop out the debris, bag it and flush the downspouts.
What’s included
Outside faces of all gutters and downspouts
Tiger stripes removed with a gutter cleaner and soft brush
Fascia and soffits under the gutters rinsed
Gutter clean-out, debris bagged (optional)
Downspouts flushed with the clean-out
Common questions
What are the black stripes on my gutters?
They’re called tiger stripes: dirt, pollution and runoff from the roof that bond to the gutter’s painted surface. Plain water won’t move them, so they need their own cleaner and a brush.
Will it scratch my gutters?
No. We use a soft brush and low pressure. Very old gutters with chalky, faded paint can look uneven once they’re clean, and we’ll point that out before we start.
Do you clean out the inside too?
Yes, as an option. We scoop out the leaves and debris, bag it for you and flush the downspouts to make sure they drain. Add it when you book.
