Gutter Cleaning in Orange County
Southern California gets most of its rain in a few winter storms, so gutters sit for months collecting eucalyptus leaves, sycamore and jacaranda litter, pine needles, palm seeds and tile grit. When the first big storm hits, clogged gutters overflow onto patios and foundations. Fall is the best time to book, and homes under big trees often add a spring clean.

Cleaning only
Window, gutter, solar and exterior washing in California does not need a CSLB contractor license, only a local business license. Repairs, solar removal and paint-prep jobs are licensed work and only go to licensed partners.
Runoff compliant
Orange County storm water rules do not allow wash water to reach the curb, gutter or storm drain. Partners agree to contain and recover it.
Low-rise only
Homes and buildings from 1 to 3 stories. We do not route high-rise or rope-access window work.
Equipment rules
California requires new large gas pressure washers sold from model year 2028 to be zero-emission. Existing equipment stays legal to use.
Gutter Cleaning FAQ
About $110 - $200 for a typical single-story home and $165 - $305 for two stories. Three-story homes and long gutter runs cost more.
In the fall, before the first winter storms. Homes under eucalyptus, pine or sycamore often need a second clean in spring.
Cleaning does not require a contractor license, but repairing or installing gutters is licensed sheet metal (C-43) work in California. If your gutters need repair, ask for a licensed contractor.
