Anchor Pro Wash cleans the exterior faces of gutters, fascia boards, and soffits to remove black streaks, algae, oxidation, and years of staining that make an otherwise clean home look neglected from the street.
This service focuses on the exterior face of your gutters, fascia boards, and soffits rather than the inside of the gutters. The black streaks you see running down the front of white or almond gutters are caused by oxidation, algae, and a process called "tiger striping" from organic runoff. They are resistant to ordinary washing because the compounds bond to the painted surface.
Anchor Pro Wash uses a professional cleaning solution specifically formulated to break those bonds and lift the staining without damaging the gutter surface or paint. The result is a dramatically brighter, cleaner appearance on the parts of your gutters that are visible from the ground and the street.
This service pairs naturally with house washing. When the siding is freshly cleaned but the gutters are still striped with black staining, the contrast actually makes the gutters look worse. Cleaning them together gives the whole exterior a finished, consistent appearance.
We inspect the gutter exteriors, fascia, and soffits to assess the type and severity of staining and identify any areas of concern such as peeling paint or loose sections.
A professional-grade cleaning solution designed for gutter and painted surfaces is applied to break down oxidation, algae, and tiger striping on the face of the gutters.
Problem areas are agitated as needed and the entire surface is rinsed thoroughly, carrying the loosened staining away and revealing the clean surface beneath.
Fascia boards and soffits are cleaned to match so the entire upper exterior looks consistent. We do a final walkthrough to confirm the result before leaving.
The upper portion of your home's exterior is often the dirtiest and most visible from the street. These surfaces are also the hardest to clean safely without professional equipment.
Black tiger stripes and oxidation on the front face of gutters are removed with professional cleaning solution, restoring the original color.
Fascia boards collect algae, mildew, and oxidation from roof runoff. Cleaning removes that buildup before it damages the wood or paint.
Soffits trap spider webs, insect nests, and mildew. Cleaning the underside of the eaves completes the exterior and prevents staining from running down the siding.
Downspout faces and straps accumulate the same organic staining as gutters. We clean them as part of the full upper exterior treatment.
Clean siding with streaked black gutters is a noticeable mismatch. Cleaning the gutters and fascia to match the siding gives the whole exterior a finished, intentional appearance.
Algae and mildew on fascia boards hold moisture against the wood. Left untreated, that moisture leads to rot and paint failure. Cleaning is far less expensive than board replacement.
Bundling gutter and fascia cleaning with a house wash is the most efficient way to clean the full exterior. Everything gets done in one visit and the results are visually consistent throughout.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what real Traverse City homeowners say about working with Anchor Pro Wash.
Anchor Pro Wash did our home, deck and fence and cleaned all of our windows. Jason stayed in constant communication from the day I booked the appointment until he left our property with the job completed. He arrived exactly when he said he would and did an incredible job at a very fair price. He sent me a video with a complete walk around the house showing me the "after." It looks amazing! I would highly recommend Jason and his team!
Our new to us house needed a good power wash! This company scheduled us quickly and performed the service as expected. The house to my knowledge had never been power washed before. It was a tan siding and it looked so much brighter.
Jason and team just did our spring cleanup and exceeded our expectations. They handled moss treatment, power washed the roof and eaves, and cleaned the windows. Everything looks great! Excellent communication, and good value. Fantastic job!
I had Jason power wash our patio and house this weekend and today they cleaned our windows. Our windows are exceptionally clean and Jason has always done a great job and our patio looks new. Highly recommend them.
So glad we went with Anchor Pro Wash! Did an amazing job and they were able to get the water and rust stains off that were on a few places. Will definitely be using them again for any future needs.
WOW!! My house is a totally different color than when they started. I was a bit skeptical when Jason told me I was going to be floored by the difference, but man was he right! We had a "problem" wall that had mildew on it from living in the woods that someone had tried to remove before with no success. They got rid of every last dot. SO happy we chose Anchor Pro Wash.
Anchor Pro Wash removes leaves, pine needles, sticks, roof debris, and built-up material from gutters so water can flow properly away from your home. We also check for obvious blockages that may be affecting drainage and clear downspouts when needed.
Yes. Downspouts are a critical part of the gutter drainage system. We check and clear them when needed to help water move away from the roofline, siding, and foundation, since a blocked downspout can cause the same overflow problems as a clogged gutter channel.
Yes. When gutters are clogged, water overflows onto siding, soffits, landscaping, walkways, and areas near the foundation. Over time, that excess water can contribute to staining, rot, erosion, and moisture-related issues around the home. Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of overflow and drainage problems before they cause damage.
Common signs include water overflowing during rain, plants growing from the gutters, visible leaves or pine needles piled up in the channel, water spilling near the foundation, sagging gutter sections, or dark staining on the siding directly below the gutter line. If you notice any of these, it is time for a cleaning.
Overflow during rain almost always means leaves, debris, or compacted buildup are blocking the gutter channel or downspouts. In Northern Michigan, pine needles, leaves, moss, and roof debris build up quickly, especially on tree-covered properties. Cleaning clears the blockage and restores proper flow.
Most homes should have gutters cleaned at least twice per year: once in the spring to clear winter debris, and again after fall leaves have dropped. Homes surrounded by pine trees or heavy tree cover often need cleaning more frequently since pine needles shed year-round and pack tightly into gutters.
Spring and late fall are usually the best times in Northern Michigan. Spring cleaning clears debris that accumulated over winter, while fall cleaning removes leaves and pine needles before snow, ice, and heavy rain create drainage problems. Scheduling both keeps gutters functioning reliably through the seasons.
Yes. Anchor Pro Wash can clean many second-story gutter systems safely using the proper equipment. You should never have to climb a tall ladder yourself to clear gutters, and professional cleaning gets the job done safely and thoroughly.
Yes. Many homeowners combine gutter cleaning with house washing, roof washing, or window cleaning so the entire exterior is serviced in one visit. Bundling is more efficient and means less disruption to your property than scheduling each service separately. Ask us about bundling →
Gutter cleaning cost depends on the size and height of the home, total gutter length, amount of debris, accessibility, and whether downspouts need extra clearing. Anchor Pro Wash provides free, no-obligation estimates before any work begins. Request your free estimate →
