Gutter Cleaning
Best Gutter Cleaning Services
The outdoors is a great place to be, but it can also bring an unwanted guest into your home: water damage.
This kind of damage is not only unsightly and inconvenient but also very expensive to fix. If you want to avoid the hassle and expense altogether, call High Five Window Cleaning for gutter cleaning or gutter polishing in Atlanta, GA today!
Benefits of Gutter Cleaning
A properly installed and maintained gutter system is the best defense against water damage. Gutter systems do just what their name implies: they collect and carry rainwater off of your roof and away from your home’s foundation before it has a chance to cause any structural or cosmetic damage. Don’t let that precious, hard-earned money go down the drain.
Another advantage of our gutter services is an increase in efficiency. Your gutters will perform more effectively when leaves and other debris aren’t clogging them up. Additionally, our regular hand-cleaning service helps to ensure that dirt and other grime don’t build upon them.
Furthermore, the water that your gutters pick up will have nowhere to go but down your downspouts. If leaves or other debris are blocking your downspouts, however, it could lead to water coming back into contact with your foundation. Not only does this create some problems for you, but also for us! We hate having to get our ladders out after every big storm.
What is Gutter Polishing
Gutter Polishing is the process of cleaning the exterior of your gutters by removing dirt, grime, and another build-up. It can be done by hand or with a brush and is often an overlooked but necessary step in preserving the life of your gutters.
People often neglect their gutters because they think the job is too difficult. But by doing simple things like getting your gutters cleaned out regularly and having them polished when needed, you can prevent your gutters from building up with dirt and other particles which will eventually wear them down to nothing. This can save you a lot of headaches in the future if you pay for this service at least every few years.
Gutters are easy to clean out yourself if you have an extension ladder that reaches high enough into your gutter system to get all the gunk that accumulates there out. If not, it is wise to make sure you hire a professional who specializes in such work as they know how best to clean those hard-to-reach areas.
People often confuse the process of gutter polishing with that of gutter repair, but there is a clear difference between the two. When you get your gutters repaired it means replacing an entire section of the gutter rather than patching up a hole or tear in a small area of it. But if your gutters are looking worn down after years and years of use, you might be better off investing in new ones altogether. Your roofer can help you make this decision based on how long it’s been since they were installed and if they have been maintained well over the years.
While having your gutters cleaned by professionals on a regular basis is not required, it does keep them from being more susceptible to damage from falling debris like twigs and branches. Doing this also helps to lengthen the life of your gutters because they are not working too hard against dirt that can be easily swept out.
Gutters become dirty very quickly when you live in an area where there is weather like snow, ice, or rain almost year-round. It is understandable if you let them go for a season without cleaning but at some point, it will catch up with you in the problem department! You don’t want to wait until holes form in your gutters or water damage begins before acting yourself because it could result in thousands of dollars in repairs later on down the line.
To have your gutters polished, you should hire a professional who has the latest tools and equipment that are needed to get the job done. This will ensure that not only are your gutters clean but also that they are restored to their original condition. Some people go with the cheaper option of having them cleaned by hand using simple elbow grease, but this method can take several days to complete.

The price of gutter cleaning depends on a number of factors including:
- Number of stories
- Are ‘gutter guards’ in place
- Square footage of home
- Linear feet of gutter system
- Long reaches or areas that require working over or around obstacles
Every home is different and should be looked at independently of any other home. A ‘one-price-fits all’ quote is not how High Five Window Cleaning approaches your individual job.
Over time we have tried various methods to clean gutters with gutter guard systems in place. We have only come up with one way to clean them without voiding the warranty or affecting the integrity of the gutter system. If you have some type of gutter guard system in place, the five steps below will outline how we clean your gutters.
- Clean the top of the ‘guards’ off – removing any debris that has accumulated.
- Clean any debris off the roof valleys – only going up as far as the technician can reach using a pole.
- Use a pressure washing wand or hose sprayer (spraying inside the gutter) to push the debris toward and down the downspout until all debris is removed from the gutter and downspout.
- If the downspouts have an underground pipeline to channel the water, we will remove the piping from the downspout end to prevent clogging from any gutter debris (we are not responsible for cleaning the underground gutter piping).
- Rinse any overspray or debris off the outside of the gutter, fascia, windows, siding, etc.
- Bag and remove any debris from the landscape, bottom of the downspouts, roof valleys, and gutter system.
