Gutter Cleaning and Roof Washing FAQ in Homestead, FL

The price depends on the feet of gutter, the number of stories, how packed the runs are and whether guards are installed. Homestead homes range from short runs over a front door to gutters around the full roofline. Call with your ZIP code and we quote by phone.

It depends on the roof size, the material, the pitch and how much algae is on it. A one-story concrete tile roof, a metal roof on a farmhouse and a two-story shingle roof are different jobs. Tell us the roof type and the stories and we quote by phone.

Early May, before rain climbs from 2.9 inches in April to 5.8 inches in May. A second visit between mid-October and December clears what hurricane season left. Homes under mango or avocado trees may need a third look in late summer.

Every two to three years suits most roofs. Slopes under trees go dark sooner.

Yes. After a named storm we move cleanups up the schedule, clear fronds, branches and leaf mats from the roof and the trough, and flush every downspout.

We clean houses and their roofs, including homes on large Redland lots. Packing houses, greenhouses and other commercial buildings are outside our work.

Pressure is the risk. Tile care guides cap cleaning pressure near 1,200 psi and warn that some cleaners etch concrete. On tile we soft wash with a compatible cleaner. On metal we keep pressure low and avoid scuffing the coating.

Twice a year at a minimum: early May and again between mid-October and December. Add a visit after a named storm and one more when trees overhang the roof.

Yes. Leaves drop all year and heavily after storms, and fallen blooms and fruit rot in the trough. Wet leaves mat into a layer that holds water.

Light rain moves slowly enough to squeeze past a partial blockage. A summer downpour delivers water far faster, and it goes over the edge at the clog.

The blockage is often in the bottom bend or in a buried line, out of sight. We flush the full path and watch where the water exits.

Away from the walls, across a lawn or bed that slopes down and away from the house, or into a drain. Flat, low ground gives water little room to leave.

Yes. Clogs follow the trees and the roof grit around the house. A house under a mature mango or royal palm clogs sooner than one on a bare lot, whatever its age.

They stop whole leaves. Blossoms, fruit pieces and fine debris still collect, so guards under fruit trees need regular cleaning.

Once a year at minimum and twice under trees. If you can book only one visit, make it early May.

Look for water sheeting over the front edge during a storm, or seedlings growing in the guard. Both mean the surface is matted.

Dust and algae spores collect on chalky paint, and rain pulls them into stripes. A roof can look clean from the street and still shed enough to mark the gutter.

It removes dirt and streaks. If the paint itself has chalked or worn through, the test spot shows what is possible.

Yes, and the result is clean. The stripes return sooner when a streaked roof sits above, because each rain carries algae down the face.

Yes, at low pressure with a coating-safe cleaner. We avoid scrubbing that dulls the finish and we work from secure footing.

Shaded slopes darken first. Most roofs go two to three years between washes, and roofs under trees sometimes need it sooner.

Both. We clear the gutters first so debris has a clear path, wash the roof, then clear the gutters again.
