Every gutter cleaning includes
Free inspectionMiami International Airport averages about 45 inches of rain between May 15 and October 15, roughly two-thirds of the year's total, and the storms come almost daily. Hurricane season starts on June 1 and peaks from August through October. A gutter half full of palm fiber, or a roof with a mildew film that holds water, has no spare capacity when that much rain arrives at once.
If your house has no gutters, the roof and the ground along the drip line carry the load. If it has them, the gutters carry most of it. Either way, a clear path from the roof to the yard keeps water off the walls and out of the soil by the foundation.
Most of the overflow calls we get start at a downspout elbow. A fistful of wet debris lodges at the first bend, and the whole gutter behind it backs up. That is why we flush every downspout and watch the water leave, instead of stopping when the trough looks clear.
Walk a Miami street after a storm and the pattern is easy to spot: palm fronds lodged at the roof edge, mango and ficus leaves packed against the tile, seed pods in the valleys, a gray film of dust over everything. We plan each job around what hangs over that particular roof, and we bring ladders and tools that match the roof material.
We are licensed and insured, and we are happy to send you proof before the job. You are letting someone climb onto your roof. You should know who they are.
Rain lands on the roof, runs into the gutters, and leaves through the downspouts. We clean every stop on that path.
Gutters collect more than leaves. Seed pods, matted debris, pollen paste, and grit from old shingles all settle in the trough, and a leaf blower does not touch most of it. Hands and scoops do.
We clear every run, bag the debris, and take it with us. Then we check hangers, seams, and the fascia behind the gutter for damage you cannot see from the ground.
Most overflow starts at a downspout, not in the gutter. We run water through every downspout and clear the blockage at the elbow or outlet. If your downspouts tie into a buried drain pipe, we flush that line too.
Guards keep out large debris, but pollen, seed pods, and grit still get through and settle underneath. We lift the guards or screens, clean them, and clear the trough below.
Rain leaves dark streaks and oxidation on the outside face of your gutters, even when the inside is clean. We wash the face of each run so the gutters match the rest of your roofline.
Roof cleaning here means low pressure and a roof-safe cleaner. The dark streaks come off, and your shingles, tile, flat roof, or metal stay intact. We clear the gutters first so the rinse has somewhere to go, then flush them again at the end. See how soft washing works.
Miami runs on two seasons. The dry season lasts from about mid-October to mid-May. The wet season, May 15 to October 15, overlaps hurricane season, which runs June 1 to November 30. The cleaning calendar follows that cycle.
| When | What happens here | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-October to January | The dry season begins and debris from hurricane season is still on roofs and in gutters. | A full gutter cleaning and a roof wash while the weather is dry and workable. |
| February to April | The driest weeks. Flowering trees add pollen and litter to the roof. | The best window for soft washing roofs and brightening gutters. |
| Early to mid May | The last dry days before the wet season starts on May 15. | Clear the gutters and downspouts and check the roof drains before the first storms. |
| June to mid-August | The stormiest weeks of the wet season, with Saharan dust at its heaviest from late June. | Storm checks and downspout flushes after heavy rain. |
| Late August to October | The peak of hurricane season. | A quick cleanup after any named storm, and a check before the next one. |
Most people who search for roof pressure washing want the dark streaks gone. We get that. On asphalt shingles the streaks are usually a cyanobacterium called Gloeocapsa magma, which feeds on the limestone filler in the shingle and spreads on the wind, as the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association explains. Tile, flat, and metal roofs grow algae and mildew of their own.
High pressure takes the protective surface off and can push water under the roof. We use a soft wash instead: low pressure, and a roof-safe cleaner that does the actual work.
| On your roof | High-pressure blasting | Our low-pressure soft wash |
|---|---|---|
| Shingles | Knocks off protective granules. | Granules stay in place. |
| Algae and mildew | Roots stay and streaks return sooner. | Cleaner kills growth at its base. |
| Water intrusion | Can force water under the roof surface. | Gentle flow that follows the way rain runs. |
| Tile, flat, and metal | Can chip tile and scar coatings and membranes. | Safe on tile, flat roofs, metal, and shingle. |
Concrete and clay tile are common on Miami roofs, along with flat roofs and some shingle and metal. Humidity and shade grow algae and mildew on all of them. On tile we limit pressure, choose a cleaner that is compatible with concrete, and step where the tiles overlap, because tile cracks when it takes weight in the wrong place.
Miami-Dade and Broward counties form Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and roofing products installed there need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance. We clean roofs. Repairs and re-roofing belong to a licensed roofer.
Most roofs do well with a wash every two to three years. Shaded slopes and roofs under trees grow algae faster and may need it sooner. A damp, algae-covered roof also sheds more grit into the gutters below, which is one more reason we handle both in a single visit.
Every job gets a set of photos like these. Keep the same angle for each pair.

The price depends on the feet of gutter, the number of stories, how packed the runs are and whether guards are installed. Many Miami homes have only short gutter runs over entries and garages, which keeps the job smaller. Call with your ZIP code and we quote by phone.
It depends on the roof size, the material, the pitch and how much algae is on it. A one-story tile roof and a two-story flat roof are different jobs. Tell us the roof type and the stories and we quote by phone.
Early May matters most, before the wet season starts on May 15. A second visit between mid-October and December clears the debris left by hurricane season.
Every two to three years suits most roofs. Shaded slopes and roofs under trees grow algae sooner.
Yes. Storms leave fronds, branches and shredded leaves on the roof and in the trough. After a named storm we move cleanups to the front of the schedule and flush every downspout.
Not always. Many Miami homes shed water from the roof edge. If you have gutters or downspouts, we clean them. If you do not, a roof wash and a check of the drains and the ground along the drip line still protect the house.
Pressure is the risk. Tile makers' care guides cap cleaning pressure at about 1,200 psi and warn that some cleaners can etch concrete. We use a soft wash and a concrete-compatible cleaner, and we step only where tiles overlap.
We clear every run by hand, remove debris from the lower roof edge, flush every downspout, and inspect hangers, seams, and fascia. You get before and after photos, and we haul the debris away.
At least twice a year, in spring and again in fall. If trees hang over your roof, plan on three or four visits a year. The calendar above shows the best timing in Miami.
The price depends mostly on how many feet of gutter you have, how many stories the house is, and how packed the runs are. Call us with those details and we will quote it by phone.
No. If we can reach the gutters and roof, we can work while you are out. We send photos when we finish.
High pressure is not. It strips the roof surface and can push water underneath. We use a soft wash: low pressure plus a roof-safe cleaner that does the cleaning.
Algae. On asphalt shingles it is usually Gloeocapsa magma, which feeds on the limestone filler in the shingle. Tile, flat, and metal roofs grow algae and mildew too, helped along by heat, humidity, and shade.
Most roofs do well with a wash every two to three years. Shade, tree cover, and north-facing slopes can bring algae back sooner.
No. Guards keep out large debris. Pollen, seed pods, and shingle grit still get through and settle underneath. Guarded gutters need cleaning less often, but they still need it.
Yes, and it is the better way to do it. We clear the gutters first, wash the roof, then flush the gutters and downspouts again so the runoff leaves nothing behind.
