Two things go wrong with gutters on the Eastern Shore. The inside fills with live oak leaves, pollen, and shingle grit until the water spills over the front, and the outside grows the black vertical streaks people call tiger striping. Daphne and Fairhope homes under all that beautiful tree cover get both, often at the same time.
They are two different jobs. Cleaning the inside protects your foundation and fascia from overflow. Brightening the outside removes the black oxidation streaks that a simple house wash leaves behind, because those stripes need a dedicated gutter brightener, not just soap and water.
Gutters overflowing or streaked black? We handle the inside and the outside.
Why Eastern Shore Gutters Need Both
The shade and humidity that define Daphne and Fairhope keep gutters damp and shaded, so they clog faster and streak darker than homes out in the open. If your downspouts trickle during a hard rain or the front of the gutter looks striped, it is time for both services.
What the Service Includes
- Hand-clearing the gutters and flushing the downspouts so water actually runs.
- Checking for sags, loose hangers, and spots where overflow has started on the fascia.
- Brightening the gutter faces to remove the black oxidation tiger stripes.
- A rinse of the surrounding soffits and trim while we are up there.
We cover Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort, and the whole Eastern Shore.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the black stripes on my gutters?
Those tiger stripes are oxidation and airborne grime that bond to the gutter face, not shadows or simple dirt. They need a dedicated gutter brightener to remove, which is why a regular house wash leaves them behind.
How often should Eastern Shore gutters be cleaned?
At least once a year, and twice if your Daphne or Fairhope home sits under heavy live oak cover. The leaves and pollen clog fast here, and overflow is what damages fascia and foundations.
Can you do the gutters with my house wash?
Yes, and bundling saves money. We regularly pair gutter cleaning and brightening with a house wash on the same Eastern Shore visit so everything matches.
Do clogged gutters really cause damage?
Yes. When gutters overflow, water runs down the fascia and pools at the foundation, which leads to rot and erosion over time. Clearing them is cheap insurance against expensive repairs.
