Gutter Cleaning & Roof Cleaning in Chapel Hill, NC
Clogged gutters are one of the most common and most overlooked problems on Chapel Hill homes.

We are locally owned, we have served Chapel Hill homes and businesses for over 25 years, and every estimate is free.
Keep the Top of Your Home Looking Its Best
Roofs and gutters are constantly exposed to rain, humidity, pollen, leaves, dirt and organic growth. Because these areas are difficult to see from the ground, buildup can go unnoticed until dark streaks, clogged gutters or staining become obvious.
Professional roof and gutter cleaning gives homeowners a practical way to address that buildup without climbing ladders or trying to clean difficult exterior areas themselves.
Greg Tilley’s Pressure Cleaning serves homeowners throughout Chapel Hill and surrounding Triangle communities with exterior cleaning services designed to help properties look cleaner from top to bottom.
More Than a Cosmetic Cleanup
Regular exterior maintenance can help prevent leaves, debris and organic buildup from being left in place season after season. Cleaning also makes it easier to spot areas of the roofline or gutter system that may need separate maintenance or repair.
Signs Your Roof or Gutters Could Use Cleaning
You do not always need to climb a ladder to tell when exterior buildup is becoming a problem.
Leaves & Debris
Leaves, pine needles, twigs and other debris can collect inside gutters and around roof edges throughout the year.
Dark Roof Streaks
Visible discoloration or dark streaking can make an otherwise well-maintained home look older and dirtier.
Overflowing Gutters
Water spilling over gutter edges during rain can be a sign that debris is interfering with normal drainage.
Organic Growth
Humidity and shade can encourage algae, moss and other organic buildup on exterior surfaces.
Stained Rooflines
Dirty gutters, fascia areas and roof edges can become highly visible from the street and affect overall curb appeal.
Seasonal Buildup
Spring pollen, summer storms and fall leaves can each leave behind different types of debris around the roof and gutter system.
Roof Cleaning
A dirty roof can change the appearance of the entire property. Cleaning is intended to address visible exterior buildup and restore a cleaner, more consistent appearance to the roof surface.
Our goal is not simply to make the roof look better for a photograph. We focus on cleaning away the types of buildup commonly created by North Carolina's humid climate and tree-covered neighborhoods. For a closer look at our roof washing process, see our dedicated roof cleaning page.

Gutter Cleaning in Chapel Hill
Gutters are designed to carry rainwater off your roof and away from the house. Chapel Hill’s tree canopy makes that harder than in most towns: oaks and maples drop leaves every fall, loblolly pines shed needles year-round, and sweetgum trees fill gutters with spiky “gumballs” that trap everything else. Once gutters clog, rain from our heavy summer storms spills over the edge instead of draining away.
Our gutter cleaning removes the buildup so water can flow again, and we clean up after ourselves so debris does not end up in your beds or on your driveway. If your roof also needs attention, we can take care of both on the same visit.
- Removal of leaves, pine needles, sweetgum balls and packed debris from gutter troughs
- Clearing debris from downspout openings so water can drain
- Cleanup of the black streaks and stains along the outside of gutters
- Debris cleanup around your home when the job is done
- Seasonal maintenance visits for Chapel Hill homes with heavy tree cover
How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned in Chapel Hill?
Most Chapel Hill homes need their gutters cleaned at least twice a year: once in late spring after pollen, seed pods and catkins come down, and once in late fall or early winter after the leaves drop. Homes under large pines, oaks or sweetgums, including many older lots in downtown Chapel Hill, West Chapel Hill and Eastgate and Northside, often need a third cleaning.
What Happens If You Skip Gutter Cleaning?
When gutters overflow, water runs down siding and pools next to the foundation. Over time that can lead to rotted fascia boards, peeling paint, stained siding, soggy flower beds, erosion around the house and damp crawl spaces. Standing water in clogged gutters also breeds mosquitoes. A routine cleaning costs far less than repairing any of those problems.

Gutter & Roof Cleaning FAQs
How do I know when my gutters need to be cleaned?
Visible leaves or debris, water overflowing during rainfall and buildup around the gutter line are common signs that cleaning may be needed.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Chapel Hill?
At least twice a year for most homes: late spring and late fall. Homes under heavy pine, oak or sweetgum cover often need a third cleaning.
What happens if I don’t clean my gutters?
Overflowing gutters send water down your siding and next to your foundation, which can cause rotted fascia, stained siding, erosion and damp crawl spaces. Clogged gutters also hold standing water that breeds mosquitoes.
Why does my roof have dark streaks?
Roof discoloration can come from dirt, algae and other organic material that develops on exterior surfaces exposed to moisture, shade and environmental debris.
Can roof and gutter cleaning improve curb appeal?
Yes. Because the roof makes up such a large visible portion of a home, removing noticeable streaking and debris can make the entire property look cleaner.
Do you provide other residential exterior cleaning?
Yes. Greg Tilley’s Pressure Cleaning provides residential pressure cleaning, deck cleaning and other exterior cleaning services for homes throughout Chapel Hill and surrounding Triangle communities.
