Gutter Cleaning in Santa Barbara

Family-Owned Gutter Cleaning Since 1978

Small cottages and commercial buildings in Santa Barbara get the same gutter and downspout cleaning. Crews take out leaves, debris and roof grit, flush the clogs that will not budge, and check that water runs freely before they pack up. The debris is bagged and goes with them, and each job starts with a free estimate. Kelly Cleaning has been family-owned in Ventura County since 1978.

  1. Stubborn ClogsIf a clog will not come out with a scoop, the crew switches to special attachments or flushes it gently.
  2. Foundation ProtectionDownspouts that drain freely move rainwater out and away, so it does not collect along the foundation of the house.
  3. Commercial RooflinesOur gutter crews work on one-story and two-story houses plus commercial buildings, bringing safety equipment suited to each roofline.

Gutters on Cottages, Hotels and Downtown Storefronts

Santa Barbara rooflines include single-story cottages, two-story homes, hotels and the shops along lower State Street and Paseo Nuevo. All of them shed rain into a gutter. Once leaves, twigs and grit off the roof pack the trough, the water has nowhere to go and spills over the edge instead of running down the spout.

That overflow lands against the foundation, runs down the siding and washes out the planting beds below. We clean gutters on homes and on commercial buildings, so a hotel or a downtown storefront gets the same crew and the same process as a house.

  • Two-Story Homesreached with the right gear
  • Hotelslong commercial rooflines

Our Process

Blower, Scoop, Flush and a Clog Check on Every Job

We start by inspecting the whole system, gutters and downspouts, to see its condition and mark the trouble spots. Then the technicians work through it with a leaf blower, a gutter scoop and other specialized equipment, taking out leaves, debris and the grit that washes off the roof.

Clogs that will not move get gutter cleaning attachments or a gentle flush, and we check that water runs through every downspout before we call it done. The debris goes into bags and leaves with us, so there is nothing left on the lawn or the patio.

  • Inspectioncondition and trouble spots
  • Leaf Blower and Scoopleaves and debris out
  • Roof Gritcleared from the trough
  • Gentle Flushfor stubborn clogs
  • Downspoutschecked for flow
  • Haul-Awaydebris bagged and removed

Timing and Safety

Book Before the Winter Rains, and Leave the Ladder to Us

Most Santa Barbara homes need gutter cleaning at least once a year, and houses under trees usually need it more. The time to book is before the winter rains start, so the gutters are already clear when the first real storm comes through. A dry gutter is also easier to empty than one packed with wet leaves.

Ladders and rooflines are where people get hurt doing this themselves. Our crews have the equipment and experience for second stories and commercial roofs, and the work is done with as little disruption to your day as possible. The estimate is free and comes before anything is booked.

  • Once a Yearthe minimum for most homes
  • Under Treesmore often
  • Before the Rainsthe time to book
  • Ladder Safetyour crew, not you

Edgar and Randy did an amazing job! The carpet was in a rental and was a mess. We thought we would TRY cleaning it but didn't think it could come clean. They took their time and made it like new!

Still have a question?

Talk to the family-owned team that has been cleaning homes and businesses in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties since 1978. Quotes are free and most estimates can be scheduled the same week.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Santa Barbara?

We quote gutter cleaning in Santa Barbara after we know the square footage, the material and how much soil there is, and you can get that free quote at (805) 644-5308 or through our quote form, with 10% off a first gutter cleaning visit.

What time of year should Santa Barbara gutters be cleaned?

Before the winter rains start, so the gutters are clear when the water comes. If trees hang over the house, plan on cleaning more than once a year.

Do you clean gutters on hotels and commercial buildings?

Yes. Hotels, storefronts and other commercial buildings get the same gutter service as homes, and it can sit alongside the rest of our commercial cleaning in Santa Barbara.

Are the downspouts on my house cleaned too?

Yes. We clear the downspouts with the gutters and check that water runs through each one before we finish.

Where does the debris from a gutter job go?

Into bags and off the property with our crew. Nothing is left in your yard or flower beds.

Can your crew handle a two-story roofline?

Yes. Our crews have the equipment and experience for second stories, which is the part that is risky to do yourself. Second-story windows are a separate job, handled by our window technicians in Santa Barbara.

Do you clean gutters in Montecito and Carpinteria?

Yes. See our Carpinteria gutter cleaning page. Montecito and all of Ventura County are covered as well.
