Gutter Brightening in Maple Grove, MN
In Minnesota, snow and slush that sit against the house leave a band of grime and mildew along the lower siding, and shaded north walls stay damp long after the thaw. A spring soft wash removes winter grime before it bakes on over the summer.
Much of Minnesota has hard water. Sprinklers and misters leave white mineral spots on walls, windows, fences and pool tile, and those spots need a mineral-safe cleaner, not more pressure.

Do you use high pressure for gutter brightening?
Gutter Brightening is done with hand cleaning with a gutter cleaner. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is gutter brightening safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule gutter brightening?
Every 1-2 years, often with a house wash. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
