Clogged gutters can quickly turn into major problems if they are not cleaned on a regular basis. When water cannot flow properly, it may overflow and cause damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. Routine gutter cleaning helps protect your home from moisture-related issues and costly repairs. Keeping gutters clear also extends the life of your entire drainage system. A clean system ensures rainwater is directed safely away from your property.
Union Painting & Prep provides professional gutter cleaning services designed to keep your system working efficiently. Our team safely removes leaves, debris, and buildup that can block water flow. We pay close attention to detail to ensure every section of your gutters is thoroughly cleaned. This service is ideal for seasonal maintenance or before periods of heavy rainfall. With our help, your home stays protected and prepared year-round.
We inspect all gutter sections, downspouts, and drainage routes before beginning any cleaning work. Before removing any debris, we walk the perimeter of the home and visually assess the gutter system — checking for obvious blockages, sagging sections, separated seams, missing hangers, and downspout discharge conditions. This initial inspection allows us to plan the cleaning sequence efficiently and identify any structural concerns that should be addressed alongside the cleaning.
We remove all leaves, debris, seed pods, and buildup from every gutter section by hand and tool. All debris is removed from gutter channels by hand where appropriate and with professional tools for compacted buildup and bagged or relocated away from your landscaping. We work methodically around the full perimeter of the home, ensuring that no section is skipped and that the entire channel is clear of any material that would impede water flow during the next rainfall.
We flush every downspout with water pressure to confirm unobstructed drainage from inlet to discharge point. Downspout blockages are common and not always visible from the top debris compacts in elbows and bends and can completely block drainage while the gutter above appears clear. We flush every downspout with water to confirm flow is unobstructed from the gutter inlet all the way to the ground-level discharge point, clearing any blockages found in the process.
We rinse all gutter sections and confirm that water flows correctly toward each downspout without pooling. After debris removal and downspout clearing, we rinse the entire gutter system with water and observe the flow confirming that each section drains properly toward its downspout without pooling in low spots that would indicate a slope issue or hanger problem. Any sections that are not draining correctly are flagged in our condition report.
We collect all debris and leave your property clean before closing the job. All bagged debris is removed from the property or placed at your designated yard waste location. We inspect the surrounding landscaping and hard surfaces for any debris that may have fallen during cleaning and clear it before leaving. The job is not closed until the property is clean and the gutter system has been confirmed to be flowing correctly.

Most Charlotte homeowners benefit from professional gutter cleaning twice per year — once in late spring after trees have fully leafed out and seed pods have fallen, and once in late fall after the primary leaf drop is complete. Properties with significant tree coverage, particularly pine trees whose needles shed year-round, may benefit from three or four cleanings annually. We assess your specific property’s debris accumulation rate and recommend a maintenance schedule accordingly.
Clogged gutters force water to overflow directly against your home’s foundation, siding, and fascia boards. Over time, this produces foundation moisture intrusion, fascia and soffit rot, siding damage, and basement or crawl space water problems. In Charlotte’s heavy seasonal rainfall, a single season with completely blocked gutters can introduce enough moisture damage to create repair costs many times higher than a regular cleaning schedule would have cost.
Yes — we conduct a thorough visual inspection of the entire gutter system during every cleaning visit, assessing slope, hanger condition, seam integrity, downspout condition and discharge location, and any signs of fascia or soffit damage behind the gutter sections. We report honestly on everything we find and never manufacture urgency about repairs — if something genuinely needs attention, we explain why clearly and let you decide how to proceed.
Your satisfaction is our top priority. If any adjustments are needed, we’ll address them promptly to ensure you’re thrilled with the outcome.
