Gutter Cleaning
Over time, your gutters can become clogged with leaves, twigs, animal nests, moss, weeds, dirt, shingle granules, and other debris. This can put your home at risk of:
Foundation Problems — Water can run out of clogged gutters, pool around your foundation, and cause soil erosion, cracks, and even shifting over time.
Basement Flooding — When water can’t drain, it can seep into the basement, leading to flooding.
Roof Leaks — Backed-up water can seep under shingles, causing them to curl and rot, and water to leak into your attic.
Wood Rot — The constant moisture can cause fascia, soffits, and other structural elements of your home to rot.
Ice Dams — In winter, clogged gutters prevent melting snow from draining, causing freeze and create a dangerous ridge of ice along the eaves of the roof.
Mold and Pest Infestations — Stagnant water can create the ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew, as well as pests, including mosquitoes, termites, and rodents.
To keep your home safe, clean, and dry, we provide gutter cleaning to remove any gunk stuck in your gutters, eaves, and downspouts. We will also perform minor repairs to make sure your gutters stay intact and functioning properly, and inform you of any signs of damage, leaks, or wear and tear.
We recommend getting your gutters cleaned twice a year: once in the spring to remove winter buildup and once in the fall to remove leaf debris.
Gutter Brightening
In addition to getting clogged, gutters can become discolored, rusted, or stained over time. This can take away from the appearance of your home and reduce your curb appeal. Gutters can become tarnished from:
Moisture & Clogs — Leaves, twigs, and dirt trap water, creating a breeding ground for rust, especially on steel or iron gutters.
Improper Slope/Installation — When water pools instead of flows down downspouts, it can accelerate corrosion.
Oxidation — Metal reacts with oxygen and water, causing chalky streaks or reddish rust on steel, which can be made worse by UV rays and pollution.
Pollen – Certain tree pollens (like oak) have high acid levels that eat away protective coatings.
Temperature Changes — Extreme fluctuations can break down materials faster and cause discoloration.
Gutter brightening refers to the cleaning and polishing of the outside of the gutters. Our experts focus on removing scuffs, mold stains, rust, and discoloration, using soft washing and other cleaning techniques. Our goal is to restore the proper color and appearance of your gutters to help make your home look new again.

Gutter Guards
To keep your gutters clean and free from debris, Emerald City Window Cleaning installs RainDrop Pro Gutter Guards. Their weather-inspired design helps keep your home safe from flooding, ice dams, and roof damage, as well as provides the following benefits:
- Faster snow and ice melt
- Durability from hail or tree damage
- Limited maintenance
- Less water backup under roofing materials
- Sleek look that blends in with the rest of your home design
- Heat and cold absorption to keep water flowing in all seasons
These gutter guards work better than other gutter designs and guards because they are installed on your whole gutter system and don’t sit flat inside. They also feature:
Rounded Sides — These guards allow small debris from the roof, wind, or storms to easily wash out as water flows through.
Forward Sloping — The forward slope and aligned bars will encourage debris to go over the edge of the gutters and allow for more uninterrupted flow.
Smooth Surface — The smooth surface of these guards keeps water flowing and helps small debris exit the gutters quicker. Some other guards will include bumps or tips that create friction. These bumps will slow the water or absorb it, causing a higher risk of overflow. Tips or bumps can also lead to more maintenance on the gutters.
These guards fit any home size, flooring material, or gutter style and are also covered by a 20-year warranty.
