Adams Power Shower soft-washes the outside faces of your gutters until they’re bright and even again, usually right alongside a house wash so the whole exterior matches.
What we clean
We remove the black “tiger stripes,” oxidation streaks, and grime that build up on the face of your gutters — the dark, drippy staining you see from the curb.
Why it matters
Your gutters run the entire length of your roofline, so when they’re streaked and stained they drag down the look of an otherwise clean house. Brightening the faces is often the difference between a house wash that looks good and one that looks finished — and the sooner that staining comes off, the easier it is to remove before it darkens and sets in. Those black streaks aren’t just dirt — they’re a sign of oxidation and weathering that makes even a freshly washed house look tired. Brightening the gutter faces is one of the fastest ways to make your whole home look cared for from the street, and it’s an easy win to bundle with a house wash while our crew is already on-site.
What affects your price
- Size & square footage
- The total linear feet of gutter and the number of downspouts and stories.
- Surface & staining
- Aluminum, steel, or copper gutters, and how heavy the oxidation and “tiger striping” is.
- Condition
- Light, even graying brightens up fast; heavy oxidation and years of baked-on staining take more work.
- Accessibility
- Steep roofs, tall walls, landscaping, and tight spots all affect the time and setup involved.

Common questions
Do you clean the inside of the gutters?
No — we focus on the outside. Gutter brightening soft-washes the black streaks and oxidation off the face of your gutters so they look new again. We don’t clear leaves or debris out of the inside of the gutters.
What are the black stripes on my gutters?
Those vertical black streaks are commonly called “tiger stripes.” They’re a mix of oxidation, airborne pollutants, and grime that collects on the gutter face as rainwater runs down it over the years. Regular pressure washing won’t remove them — they need a special brightening treatment, which is exactly what our exterior gutter service is built to do.
Can you brighten my gutters when you wash the house?
Absolutely — that’s the most popular way to do it. Gutter brightening is frequently added to a house wash so the whole exterior matches, and bundling it into one trip while our crew is already on-site keeps everything looking its best.
