Gutter Cleaning in Foley, AL
South Baldwin County can get a month of rain in a single afternoon. When that happens, the gutters on your Foley home either carry the water away or dump it next to your foundation. Gulf Coast Window Cleaning cleans gutters by hand across Foley and nearby communities, flushes every downspout, and takes the debris with us, so your home is ready for the next storm.
Foley storms and clogged gutters
Foley sits close enough to the Gulf to get the full force of summer thunderstorms and tropical systems, but far enough inland that a lot of homes are surrounded by tall pines and oaks. That combination is tough on gutters. Pine straw and oak leaves pile up all year, and then a heavy storm hits all at once.
Clogged gutters overflow and send water straight down the side of the house. That water erodes soil around your foundation, splashes mud onto siding and windows, and can work its way into fascia boards and soffits. Over time you get rot, stains, and sometimes leaks that are much more expensive to fix than a gutter cleaning.
Older homes in Magnolia Springs and Elberta often have large trees right over the roof, and debris from the Magnolia River area can be heavy. Newer homes in Glenlakes and near OWA may have fewer trees, but they still collect pine needles, roof grit, and the occasional bird nest.
What's included
- Gutters cleared by hand from end to end
- Downspouts flushed and tested to make sure water flows freely
- All debris bagged and hauled off your property
- Loose leaves and pine straw near the roof edge cleared away
- A heads up on loose hangers, leaking seams, or damaged sections
- Before and after photos sent when the job is done
Before hurricane season
If you only clean your gutters once a year in Foley, late spring is the time to do it. Hurricane season starts in June, and a clean gutter system is one of the simplest ways to protect your home from heavy rain. Many of our Foley customers book a gutter cleaning in May along with a window cleaning, so the house is ready for summer.
A second cleaning in late fall clears out the needles and leaves that dropped during the year. If you have a lot of trees, we can set up a reminder so you do not have to keep track of it.
After a big storm, we also help homeowners who notice water pouring over their gutters or downspouts that have stopped draining. Call or text us and we will get you on the schedule.

Local crew, fully insured
Gulf Coast Window Cleaning is locally owned and based in Gulf Shores, just down Highway 59 from Foley. We are not a franchise, and the people you talk to are the people who show up to do the work.
We are fully insured for residential and commercial work. Ladder work on a two-story home is dangerous, and we would much rather you stay on the ground. We take care around your landscaping, porch roofs, and screen enclosures, and we leave the yard as clean as we found it.
We also clean gutters for Foley businesses and rental homes. If you manage several properties, we can schedule them together so they are all done in one trip.
What we notice while we're up there
Gutter work gives us a close look at parts of your home most people never see. While we clean, we watch for loose or missing hangers, sagging sections, leaking seams, and downspouts that have separated from the wall. If we find something, we take photos and let you know. There is no pressure to fix it through us. We just want you to know before it turns into water damage.
We also check where the downspouts drain. In Foley, a lot of homes have downspouts that empty right next to the slab or into flower beds that wash out every storm. Sometimes a simple extension or splash block solves the problem, and we are happy to point that out.
If your home has gutter guards, we can clean on top of them and check underneath where we can reach. Pine needles from the trees around Riverside and Glenlakes are notorious for working their way into guards, so even protected gutters need occasional attention.
A typical Foley gutter cleaning takes an hour or two. You do not need to be home. We will text when we arrive, send photos when we are done, and leave the yard clean. That makes it easy for part-time residents and rental owners to keep up with maintenance from anywhere, which matters in a town where so many homes sit empty part of the year.
We also take care of the parts of your property you can see from the ground. Ladders get padded stand-offs where needed so they do not scratch siding or dent gutters. We work around landscaping, hanging plants, and porch lights, and we sweep up anything that falls on driveways or walkways. When we leave, the only sign we were there should be gutters that drain properly.
If you prefer not to keep track of it yourself, we can set your home up on a reminder schedule. We will reach out before hurricane season and again in the fall, confirm a time, and handle everything from there.
