Gutter Cleaning in Brighton, MI

Brighton is two governments. The City of Brighton holds the downtown, with Main Street, Grand River Avenue and the Millpond. Brighton Township borders it and covers about 33 square miles. Owners live in 95 percent of the township's occupied homes, by the latest Census survey, and 92 percent of its homes are detached single-family houses. Close to 80 percent of those went up since 1970, according to the township's plan, and the newer streets curve and often end in cul-de-sacs. For gutters, the trees standing near each roof set the work.

We take the debris out of each gutter by hand. By November it's a wet mat of leaves, seeds and twigs, and the heavy bottom layer is what holds water and freezes. Then we check every downspout and clear any that's blocked, because water from a clean gutter still has to get out at the bottom. A downspout rinse is an extra charge. We don't repair or maintain gutters. If a hanger is pulling loose or a seam is dripping, we point it out and show you where.

Brighton Township's plan names Kensington Metropark as its main public recreation land, and part of the park lies inside the township. The Metroparks describe Kensington as wooded, hilly ground around Kent Lake, and Island Lake Recreation Area borders the township on the southeast. Houses with big trees near the roof fill their gutters faster.

The City of Brighton made the Tree City USA list for 2025, and its 2026 comprehensive plan puts tree cover at 25 percent of the city's land. The same plan sets a goal of preserving the city's older homes, and about one city home in sixteen dates from 1939 or earlier. On an older house we clear the gutters carefully and point out any section that's pulling away from the fascia.

ZIP code 48380 belongs to Milford, but it stretches across 26 percent of the township's acreage, so some township houses get mail addressed to Milford. GM's proving ground in the township's northeast corner, which fills more than a tenth of it, is addressed to Milford as well. The township's main ZIP is 48114, and the city uses 48116. We cover all of it, and the street address tells us which government the house is in.

A Brighton house needs its gutters done twice a year. The spring visit goes in April or May, after the seeds come down. The fall one goes in November, toward the end of the city's leaf season, since our gutter work runs April through November. If the windows need washing or you'd like Christmas lights on the roofline, mention them when you call and we'll do everything in one trip. Outside window cleaning runs into December, and lights go up as late as a week before Christmas. Gutters have the shortest window, so set that date first.
