Will Gutters Be Cleaned with an Exterior House Wash?
Homeowners often ask, “When I book an exterior house wash, do gutters get cleaned too?” The answer varies by provider—but here’s the scoop:
Why Gutters Sometimes Miss the Wash
Different Skill Sets & Equipment
Exterior washing crews focus on siding, brick, or stucco with soft-wash systems. Gutter cleaning requires ladder work, scoops, and sometimes wet-vacs—equipment not every wash team carries.Liability & Time Constraints
Climbing ladders to clear debris or flush gutters adds time and risk. Some companies deliberately leave gutters out of a basic wash to avoid potential accidents or damage claims.A La Carte Services
Many providers separate “exterior wash” and “gutter cleaning” into two line items. It lets you pick only what you want—but it also means gutters can be overlooked if you don’t notice the extra charge.
