"We put the gutters on in 2005. He cleaned them 11 years later. Sections of the gutters had been black, and there was a black spot in the gutters on the front of the house. The black spot was very obvious when you came to the house. He cleaned the gutters front and back, and the gutters looked brand new! We feel like if anyone is trying to sell their house, having someone clean the roof, siding, and gutters is an excellent thing to do. It makes the house look brand new as well. Our siding looks wonderful too! Everything looks great."
"LeafFilter doesn't clean gutters, they sell and install their LeafFilter Gutter products and only clean the gutters if you buy their product. I can't even begin to afford their product so I wasn't able to get my gutter cleaned by them."
"I had gutter screens installed recently. The team showed up when promised. They did a very neat job and cleaned up before they left. I would highly recommend this company."
"Company was very easy to work with. New gutters and covers installed within 3 hours. Oscar crew did a great job and cleaned up well. Thank you, very pleased."
"Always keeps good communication about what days they can come. With bi weekly maintenance and other small projects such as gutters, bushes, and such I can honestly say I'm satisfied with the service especially for the price. Would recommend to anyone"
"Hired TruShine to clean the outside of my house and it looks amazing! Zeph was on time and gave a very reasonable price to have my house done. Will definitely be calling him again if we have anymore needs"

If you want to avoid burying your downspouts, several alternatives can help direct water away from your home's foundation. One option is to connect a rain barrel to your downspout. During a storm, the barrel collects water that you can later use for irrigating your lawn or garden. Another common solution is to install an above-ground downspout extension. This can be done in a couple of ways:
Splash Guards: Placing a splash guard, available at most hardware stores, under your downspout can act as a simple funnel to direct water away from the house.
Downspout Extensions: You can add an extension to the end of the downspout's elbow to carry water further into your yard. Some extensions are flexible, allowing you to maneuver them around landscaping.
These above-ground solutions are particularly useful if your home has a slab foundation that you cannot dig up. However, they have limitations. An extension may not move water as far from your home as an underground system. More importantly, if your yard slopes back toward your house, these methods will be ineffective, and burying your downspouts remains the best option to prevent potential flooding and water damage.
Regular cleaning, applying rust-resistant coatings, and checking for leaks help extend their lifespan.
The trick to getting gleaming gutters can vary based on the material of your gutters. Aluminum gutters can often be restored to pristine condition by using a cloth to scrub them with a solution consisting of 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water. Vinyl gutters can be whitened using dish soap and water. For deeply stained vinyl gutters, adding bleach with water and dish soap may help to remove black streaks. Many retailers sell premixed gutter sprays. Applying cleaning solutions to dry gutters before rinsing can help cleaners attach to dirt and grime for easier removal.
Failing to clean your gutters can lead to serious and costly damage. When leaves and other debris cause blockages, water cannot drain properly and will overflow. This can lead to water pooling around your home’s foundation, causing basement flooding and structural damage. The overflow can also damage your roof, siding, and fascia boards, with the constant moisture promoting mold, mildew, and rot. The weight of wet debris can cause gutters to sag or break, while stagnant water creates a breeding ground for pests like mosquitoes and rodents. Additionally, runoff can damage landscaping or freeze on driveways and patios, causing cracks. To prevent these issues, it is recommended to clean your gutters at least once or twice a year.
Regularly clean debris, check for leaks at seams, and ensure proper drainage to prevent clogging and water damage.
