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.

Why TLC: Making It Easy Includes Gutters

1. Complete Exterior Protection
   We view your home as one system—clean siding means nothing if clogged gutters send water where it shouldn’t. Every exterior wash comes with full gutter clearing.

2. Soft-Wash Gentle but Thorough
   Our low-pressure detergent dissolves organic buildup on siding and inside gutters. After debris removal, we rinse both surfaces safely, protecting seams and finishes.

3. Bundled Value
   By combining services in one visit, we reduce setup time. You save roughly 15–20% versus booking separate gutter and exterior-wash appointments.

4. Preventative Maintenance
   Clean gutters guard against overflow that can damage foundation, landscaping, and roof edges. We’ll spot loose hangers or separated downspouts before they become big headaches.

What to Expect on Wash Day

1. Walk-Around Inspection
   We’ll note gutter access, downspout runs, and any existing damage.

2. Debris Scoop & Flush
   Leaves, pine needles, and grit get removed by hand or vacuum, then we soft-wash the troughs.

3. Exterior Soft-Wash
   While gutters dry, we apply our eco-friendly cleaner to siding, trim, and accents.

4. Final Rinse & Flow Test
   After rinsing your home’s exterior, we give gutters one more flush—confirming water runs freely through downspouts.

The Bottom Line

Not all exterior-wash companies clean gutters by default—and that gap can leave your home at risk for water damage. With TLC: Making It Easy, an exterior house wash always includes gutter cleaning. It’s one seamless service to keep your home looking great and protected, top to bottom.
