Gutter cleaning for Muscle Shoals homes.

Gutter cleaning in Muscle Shoals, Alabama from PreVent Exterior Care, based in Florence, about 10 minutes south across the o'neal bridge. Muscle Shoals sits on the south bank directly below Wilson Dam, and streets like Alabama Shores back right up to Wilson Lake, so lake humidity keeps mildew working on shaded siding and decks most of the year. For homes in Cornelius Landing, Alabama Shores, Ford City and the rest of 35661, once or on the monthly plan. Call or text 256-415-7878.

Muscle Shoals sits directly below Wilson Dam, and the older streets between Woodward Avenue and the river carry mature oaks and pines that lean over the rooflines. A gutter under that canopy fills with tassels in April and leaves in November, and pine needles in between.

The red limestone clay under the city holds water against a foundation, which is why an overflowing gutter here shows up first as a stain on the bottom course of brick. We clear the runs by hand, flush every downspout and bag what comes out.

How it is done. The gutters get cleared by hand from a ladder, run by run, with the debris bagged as it comes out. The downspouts get flushed with a hose until water runs free at the bottom, and any that will not clear get worked from both ends. While we are up there, loose hangers, standing water and pitch problems get noted and told to you straight.

The short version

A gutter does one job. Full of oak leaves, it does the opposite.

— Straight talk

It is not a once a decade job here

Under a Shoals oak, a gutter that was empty in May is full by Thanksgiving. Anyone telling you a single clean will hold for years has not looked up at your trees. Twice a year at least, or on the plan and it never gets full in the first place.

Gutter cleaning is 10 to 20% off on the plan

The plan is the monthly upkeep most people never get round to: web sweep, wasp removal, trash bin cleaning, gutter inspection, light perimeter debris cleanup, from $59 a month with the same person every visit. Being on it takes 10 to 20% off gutter cleaning and anything else you book, and the higher tiers fold the seasonal work in. See the three tiers →

Or just the one visit, full price, no plan needed. Call or text 256-415-7878.

Gutter cleaning in Muscle Shoals, answered.

What Muscle Shoals homeowners ask about gutter cleaning. If yours is not here, call or text and the owner picks up.

  • 01How often do gutters need cleaning here?

    Under trees, twice a year is the floor and more is normal: after the spring tassels and after the fall leaves, with pine needles in between. On a monthly plan they simply never get full. If water is running over the front edge in a storm, it is already late.

  • 02Do you take the debris away?

    Yes. It gets bagged as it comes out of the gutter and leaves on the truck. It does not get blown into the yard or left on the roof to wash straight back in.

  • 03Can you tell if my gutters are damaged?

    We will tell you what we see: loose hangers, a run pitched the wrong way, standing water, rust. We are not a gutter installer, so you get the plain observation and a photo, not a sales pitch.

  • 04Do you cover all of Muscle Shoals?

    Yes. Cornelius Landing, Alabama Shores, Ford City and the rest of 35661. If you are just outside town, text the address to 256-415-7878 and we will tell you straight.

  • 05How far is Muscle Shoals from your base?

    About 10 minutes south across the O'Neal Bridge from Florence. Muscle Shoals is on the regular route, not a special trip.

  • 06How often does gutter cleaning make sense in Muscle Shoals?

    More often than you would think. Muscle Shoals sits on the south bank directly below Wilson Dam, and streets like Alabama Shores back right up to Wilson Lake, so lake humidity keeps mildew working on shaded siding and decks most of the year. A monthly plan keeps ahead of it; a single visit resets it. Call or text 256-415-7878 and we will say which fits the house.
