PROFESSIONAL GUTTER & FASCIA BRIGHTENING
Make Your Entire Roofline Look Cleaner and Brighter
Your gutters and fascia are some of the most visible parts of your home’s exterior. Unfortunately, they are also constantly exposed to rainwater, roofing runoff, airborne pollutants, dirt, humidity, and Florida sunshine.
Over time, painted gutters and fascia can develop dark vertical streaks, dull discoloration, chalking, and stubborn staining.
Those dark marks are often called tiger stripes.
Unlike ordinary dirt or algae, these stains can bond to painted metal and may remain even after your home has been professionally washed.
Sunshine AquaWash uses specialized gutter-brightening products, controlled application, gentle agitation when needed, and thorough rinsing to improve the appearance of painted gutters and fascia without relying on excessive pressure.
Our goal is simple: restore a cleaner, brighter, more uniform roofline that complements the rest of your home.
HOUSE WASHING VS. GUTTER BRIGHTENING
Why Your Gutters May Still Look Dirty After a House Wash
House washing and gutter brightening solve two different exterior-cleaning problems.
Professional house washing is designed to remove organic contamination such as algae, mildew, mold, dirt, pollen, cobwebs, and general surface grime from your home’s exterior.
That process can leave siding, soffits, gutters, fascia, and trim dramatically cleaner.
However, some dark staining on gutters and fascia is not simply organic growth.
Rainwater flowing across roofing materials can carry asphalt residue, airborne contaminants, dirt, and other pollutants down the exterior face of your gutters. Combined with natural oxidation of painted aluminum, this contamination can create streaks that remain after standard soft washing.
That is where gutter and fascia brightening makes the difference.
House Washing Removes:
Algae, mildew, mold, pollen, cobwebs, loose dirt, organic grime, and general exterior buildup.
Gutter & Fascia Brightening Targets:
Black tiger stripes, roof-runoff contamination, oxidation-related staining, embedded grime, dark water streaks, stubborn discoloration, and dull painted surfaces.
Best Results: Pair Gutter Brightening With House Washing
For the most complete exterior transformation, many homeowners schedule gutter and fascia brightening at the same time as their house wash.
House washing removes the organic growth and general grime covering the home.
Gutter brightening then addresses the stubborn bonded staining along the roofline that house washing alone may not completely remove.
The result is a cleaner and more uniform appearance from the siding all the way to the gutters and fascia.

What About Severe Oxidation?
Older gutters and fascia can become heavily oxidized, faded, chalky, or permanently weathered.
Professional cleaning can often provide significant improvement, but severely degraded paint may not return to a factory-new appearance.
We inspect the surface before cleaning and give you a realistic expectation of the results.
Please Note: Cleaning cannot repair failing paint, permanent fading, corrosion, or physical surface damage.
GUTTER & FASCIA BRIGHTENING PROCESS
Our Professional Brightening Process
Step 1: Surface Inspection
Every project begins with an evaluation of your gutters and fascia.
We inspect the surface condition, degree of oxidation, amount of tiger striping, roof-runoff contamination, accessibility, and surrounding property before selecting the appropriate cleaning method.
Step 2: Pre-Cleaning
When needed, loose dirt, algae, mildew, and other organic contamination are removed first.
If gutter brightening is being performed with a house wash, the home is typically soft washed before the specialized brightening treatment begins.
Step 3: Specialized Brightening Treatment
A professional gutter-brightening cleaner is carefully applied to the stained surfaces.
The solution helps break down tiger striping, roof-runoff contamination, oxidation-related staining, and embedded grime that normal exterior washing may leave behind.
Step 4: Gentle Agitation
Some stains require mechanical agitation.
When appropriate, we use soft brushes or other non-abrasive cleaning methods to help work the cleaning solution into stubborn areas while protecting the painted finish.
Step 5: Controlled Rinse
Once the contamination has been loosened, the gutters and fascia are thoroughly rinsed to remove cleaning residue and suspended contaminants.
Step 6: Final Inspection
We inspect the completed surfaces and address remaining treatable areas when appropriate.
Important: Gutter brightening is a restoration cleaning service, not repainting. Severe oxidation, chalking, faded paint, corrosion, or permanent coating damage may improve but may not return to a like-new finish.

GUTTER BRIGHTENING COST
How Much Does Gutter & Fascia Brightening Cost?
Every property is different, so pricing is based on the amount of gutter and fascia being cleaned, accessibility, surface condition, and severity of staining.
Our gutter and fascia brightening service starts at $250.
Pricing may be affected by total linear footage, amount of fascia included, severity of tiger stripes and oxidation, ladder access, landscaping or pool enclosures, height of the home, and whether brightening is performed as a standalone service or combined with other exterior cleaning.
Save by Bundling Services
Many homeowners combine gutter and fascia brightening with:
House Washing
Remove organic growth and grime from the exterior before restoring stubborn staining along the roofline.

WHY BRIGHTEN THE FASCIA TOO?
Don’t Stop at the Gutters
Many homes have painted fascia directly behind or beneath the gutter system.
Because the gutters and fascia are positioned next to one another, staining often affects both surfaces.
Cleaning only the gutter face can sometimes leave the fascia looking dull or streaked by comparison.
When appropriate, Sunshine AquaWash can brighten both the gutters and painted fascia to create a cleaner, more uniform roofline.
This is especially noticeable on homes with white or light-colored trim where oxidation and runoff staining stand out against the rest of the exterior.
