- Gutter Brightening
The black stripes on your gutters don't rinse off. We take them off.
Tiger striping is electrostatically bonded oxidation and asphalt runoff — a house wash alone will not move it. Gutter brightening is a hand-applied cleaner and agitation that restores the original white or color of the gutter face.
Gutter Brightening without the damage
This is a finishing service. After the house is soft washed, the gutters are often the one thing still looking tired. Brightening fixes that, and it is almost always done the same day as a house wash.
This is exterior cleaning only. We flush gutters and downspouts as part of roof cleaning, but we are not a gutter-clean-out or gutter-repair company; if you need debris removed from inside the gutters, we will tell you who to call.
Surfaces included
- Aluminum gutter faces
- Downspouts and elbows
- Fascia and drip edge
- Gutter guards (exterior face)
- Soffit vents and trim
What happens on the day
Soft wash first
Loose dirt and growth come off with the house wash.
Apply brightener
A specialty gutter cleaner is applied by hand to the striped sections.
Agitate
A soft brush on a pole works the oxidation loose without scratching the finish.
Rinse
A low-pressure rinse leaves the gutters uniformly clean.

Gutter Brightening FAQ
Is this the same as gutter cleaning?
No. Gutter cleaning removes leaves from inside the gutter. Gutter brightening cleans the outside face so it looks new. We offer brightening and flush downspouts during roof cleaning.
Can brightening be done alone?
We prefer to pair it with a house wash — otherwise bright gutters make the siding look dirtier. Ask and we will quote both ways.
Will it work on painted or dark gutters?
Yes on factory finishes. Field-painted gutters are tested in a small spot first.
