Critical Home Protection: More Than Just Cleaning Leaves

Clogged gutters aren't just messy; they are a threat to your home's infrastructure. We address the specific risks associated with Southern California's climate and architecture.

Prevent Expensive Water Damage

When gutters overflow, water pools directly against your home's base. This can lead to foundation settling, cracks, and basement dampness. We ensure water is channeled at least 5 feet away from your home to protect its structural stability.

Stay Safe & Stay off the Ladder

Gutter cleaning is one of the most dangerous household chores. Don't risk a fall. Our team is trained, insured, and equipped with the proper safety gear to handle second-story homes and difficult rooflines safely.

Preventing Dry Rot & Termites

Standing water in clogged gutters wicks into your fascia boards and soffits, causing wood rot. This damp wood attracts termites and carpenter ants. Our service keeps wood dry and pests away.

Wildfire Safety & Brush Clearance

In high-risk fire zones like Calabasas and Simi Valley, dry leaves in gutters are "tinderboxes" waiting for a spark. Our cleaning acts as a critical fire hardening measure, removing combustible debris from your roofline as recommended by local fire departments.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying

We're obsessed with delivering five-star results, and it shows in the feedback we get every day. From clearing clogged downspouts in Oak Park to protecting complex rooflines in Hidden Hills, our commitment to safety and thorough gutter cleaning is what sets us apart.

Expert Solutions for Every Gutter Type

    Not all gutters are the same. From standard systems to high-end architectural details, we have the specific tools and training to handle your home's unique drainage system safely.

Standard Seamless Gutters

For the most common aluminum and vinyl systems, our focus is on volume and protection. We carefully remove heavy sludge and wet debris that can weigh down the troughs, ensuring we don't put stress on the hangers or clips that hold them to your home.

      Copper & Specialty Gutters

      Copper gutters are a beautiful investment that requires a gentle touch. We use specialized soft tools to clean these systems without scratching the metal or disturbing the natural patina that develops over time. We treat these architectural features with the white-glove care they deserve.

      Systems with Gutter Guards

      Even with guards or screens, maintenance is required. Debris often accumulates on top of the mesh, forming a mat that prevents water from entering. We brush off and clear the tops of your guards to ensure they can actually do their job, and we check for any silt buildup underneath.

      High-Reach & Complex Rooflines

      Whether you have a steep pitch in Hidden Hills or a three-story home in Sherman Oaks, accessibility is our specialty. Our team is equipped with ladder stabilizers and safety harnesses to reach difficult areas without leaning heavy equipment against your siding or risking damage to your roof tiles.

      Choose Southern California's Award-Winning Gutter Cleaning Experts

      Cleaning gutters is messy, dangerous work, but it requires the same attention to detail as any other home service. While our recognition as a "Best House Cleaning Service" by Expertise.com highlights our interior work, we bring that same five-star standard to your roofline. This award is your assurance that you are hiring a team vetted for professionalism, reliability, and safety—essential qualities when someone is working on a ladder at your home.

      Our Complete Gutter Cleaning Process

        We don't just scoop the leaves; we perform a comprehensive system check to ensure your home is fully protected from water damage.

      Debris Removal & Bagging

        We start by manually removing leaves, twigs, and heavy sediment from your gutters using specialized scoops and gloves. Unlike some services that blow debris onto your lawn, we place the waste directly into buckets or bags as we work, ensuring the bulk of the mess never touches your property.

      Downspout Flushing & Testing

        A clean gutter is useless if the water has nowhere to go. We test every downspout by flushing it with water to ensure there are no hidden blockages. If we find a stubborn clog in an elbow or bend, we have the tools to clear it, guaranteeing that water flows freely away from your home’s foundation.

      The "No-Mess" Guarantee

        Our job isn't done until your yard looks perfect. Once the gutters are clear, we bag all the debris and haul it away with us—you won't be left with a pile of wet leaves at the curb. We finish by blowing off any stray dust or leaves from your walkways, patios, and driveways, leaving your exterior cleaner than we found it.

      Roof Debris Clearing (Add-On)

        If you have piles of leaves sitting in the valleys of your roof or behind chimneys, they will wash right back into your clean gutters during the next rain. As an add-on service, we can gently clear these areas using air blowers or soft brushes to protect your roof tiles while ensuring your gutters stay clean longer.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Gutter Cleaning

      Why is gutter cleaning important for fire safety in Southern California?

      In dry areas like Ventura County and Los Angeles County, dried leaves and pine needles in gutters act as "fuel ladders" for embers during wildfires. Regular cleaning removes this combustible debris, creating a defensible space around your roofline and significantly improving your home's fire safety profile.

      Do you use pressure washers to clean gutters?

      Generally, no. We prefer manual removal (by hand) followed by a low-pressure water flush. Using high-pressure washers can blast mud all over your siding, windows, and roof. Our method is controlled, cleaner, and safer for your home's exterior finishes.

      Does your service include unclogging downspouts?

      Yes. A clear gutter is useless if the downspout is blocked. We perform a hydro-flush on every downspout to ensure water exits freely at the bottom. If we encounter a severe blockage, we have specialized plumbing snakes to clear the obstruction without damaging the pipe.

      How often should I have my gutters cleaned?

      For most homes in Southern California, we recommend cleaning twice a year: once in late Spring (after the oak pollen/blossom drop) and once in late Fall (after the leaves have fallen). However, homes near pine trees or in high-wind areas like Simi Valley may require quarterly service to prevent overflow.

      Will you damage my roof tiles?

      No. Our technicians are trained in ladder safety and roof walking protocols. We use stand-offs to keep ladders off your gutters and avoid walking on delicate Spanish tile or slate whenever possible. If roof access is required, we know exactly where to step to prevent damage.
