Frankfort, KY
Brightening for the outer face of your gutters, where the black tiger striping shows from the street.
Frankfort, KY
Those dark vertical stripes down the front of your gutters are not dirt running out of them. They are airborne residue and organic growth, held to the outer face by an electrostatic bond that will not rinse off. Brightening them is a soft wash job on the gutter exterior, and it is usually the single most visible thing on a house after the roof.
Frankfort is built around the Kentucky River, and the historic core sits on both banks. Three historic districts cover that core, and the buildings in them run to nineteenth century brick and stone, with the Old State Capitol of 1837 and the 1887 courthouse still standing among them. That is an unusual amount of old masonry sitting in a river valley, and river valleys hold damp.
The river is the whole story. Frankfort sits low, the valley holds moisture and fog well into the morning, and the old brick and stone in the historic districts is porous enough to keep it. Porous, damp masonry in shade is where mildew and algae take hold and stay.
The job
Not included: debris removal from inside the gutter, downspout flushing, gutter inspection, gutter guard or gutter installation, repair or replacement.
Historic masonry sets the ceiling on pressure. Old brick, stone and lime mortar around the historic districts are soft washed, never blasted, because high pressure on aged mortar takes the joint out along with the growth.

Only at low pressure. Aged brick and lime mortar in the Central Frankfort and Old Statehouse districts will lose mortar out of the joints under a pressure washer. A soft wash lifts the growth and leaves the joint alone.
Frankfort sits low and the valley holds moisture and morning fog longer than open ground does. Damp plus shade is what algae and mildew need, and porous old masonry holds that damp better than modern siding.
