Gutter Brightening in Louisville, KY
The black tiger stripes on gutter faces removed and the aluminum brought back to bright, the finishing touch most washes skip.
Gutter brightening is the service most homeowners have never heard of and most houses need. The black stripes running down gutter faces all over Louisville are not dirt. They are oxidation and roof runoff residue bonded to the paint, and no amount of rain or garden hose will move them. Brightening dissolves that bond with a dedicated cleaner and wipes the aluminum back to bright.
Not the same as gutter cleanout
Cleaning leaves out of the gutter trough keeps water flowing. Brightening cleans the outside face that everyone actually sees from the street. Louisville has plenty of companies that scoop gutters. Almost nobody restores the faces, which is why striped gutters ride on top of otherwise clean houses all over Jefferson County.
The finishing touch on a house wash
A fresh house wash with striped gutters is a suit with a stained tie. Most customers add brightening to a house washing and the difference in curb appeal per dollar is the best on the menu. White and cream aluminum shows the most dramatic change, and St. Matthews and Middletown homes with decades on their original gutters are prime candidates.
Honest limits
Brightening restores the finish that is there. If paint is peeling or the aluminum is bare, we will say so before you spend money, and severe oxidation sometimes takes a second pass that we quote up front. You get the truth with the price, always.
