How often should I have my gutters cleaned in Madison?

Madison homes typically need gutter cleaning twice a year — once in late spring (after seeds and pollen) and once in late fall (after leaf drop). Homes surrounded by pine trees or heavy canopy may need 3-4 cleanings per year.

What happens if I don't clean my gutters?

Clogged gutters cause water to overflow, leading to foundation erosion, basement flooding, fascia and soffit rot, landscape erosion, and ice dams in winter. Gutter damage from the weight of debris can also require expensive replacement.

Do you provide before and after photos?

Yes! Every gutter cleaning includes before and after photo documentation. You'll see exactly what was in your gutters and how they look after our service — especially useful for multi-story homes where you can't easily check yourself.

Can you clean gutters with gutter guards installed?

Yes. Gutter guards reduce debris but don't eliminate it. Pine needles, shingle grit, and small seeds still get through or accumulate on top. We clean the surface of guards, flush any debris underneath, and verify proper attachment.

Do you fix sagging gutters or small leaks?

Yes. Minor repairs are included with our cleaning service — we'll re-secure sagging sections, tighten loose hangers, reattach downspouts, and seal small seam leaks. For major damage or replacement needs, we'll document and recommend trusted local specialists.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Madison?

Gutter cleaning for a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft Madison home runs $245–$395 (Good or Better tier), including all debris removal, downspout flushing, and a photo report. Larger homes (3,500–5,000 sq ft) with complex rooflines — common in Waunakee and Maple Bluff — run $495–$795. Homes with gutter guards or heavy tree coverage (pine needles, oak) run toward the higher end. Spring and fall plan saves 10% annually.

What is gutter brightening?

Gutter brightening is an exterior cosmetic treatment that removes the dark tiger stripes and oxidation from the visible face of your gutters. It restores the original white or color appearance. This is separate from interior cleaning — we offer both.

Do you clean underground drain pipes?

We flush downspouts into underground drain connections to test flow. If we detect a blockage in the underground pipe, we'll let you know. For deep underground drain issues, we recommend a plumbing specialist.

Can gutter cleaning prevent ice dams?

Clean gutters are the first line of defense against ice dams. When gutters flow freely, water drains instead of backing up and freezing. Combined with proper attic insulation, clean gutters significantly reduce ice dam risk.

Do you offer a seasonal maintenance plan?

Yes! Our Spring + Fall Gutter Maintenance Plan includes two scheduled cleanings per year with priority scheduling and a 10% savings over individual bookings. You'll get auto-reminders before each visit so nothing falls through the cracks.

How much does gutter services cost in Madison, WI?

Gutter cleaning in Madison, WI isn't optional — it's foundation insurance. Clogged gutters cause basement flooding, fascia rot, soffit damage, and ice dams that cost thousands to repair. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co., and gutter cleaning is our most-requested fall and spring service across Dane County. A standard 1,500–2,500 sq ft Madison home runs $245–$395 for a full clean with downspout flushing; larger homes run $345–$795. Madison's oak, maple, and ash trees are beautiful but relentless — pine needles, cottonwood, and maple seeds clog gutters within weeks of cleaning in neighborhoods like Sun Prairie, Waunakee, and Maple Bluff. Every clean includes hand-removal of all debris, high-pressure downspout flush, pitch and hanger inspection, and before/after photo documentation. We fix minor issues on the spot — loose hangers, small seam leaks, sagging sections. If we spot a sign of ice dam risk or fascia damage, we document it and let you know. Spring and fall cleanings on a recurring plan save 10% and get priority scheduling before the rush.
