Gutter Cleaning in Chatham, NJ — Done by People Who Know the Tree Cover
If your house sits on one of the older streets near the borough center or off Fairmount Avenue, you already know the problem: Chatham has serious tree cover. The big oaks and maples that make these blocks worth living on drop a heavy leaf load every fall, and it all ends up in your gutters. On the steeper pitched roofs common to the older colonials and clapboard homes here, that debris slides straight into the troughs and packs down tight.
We see two clogging seasons in Chatham, not one. Fall is the obvious one. But spring brings a second wave — maple seed "helicopters," oak tassels, and pollen that turns into a wet mat and blocks downspouts just as heavily. Homes near the wooded stretches toward the Passaic River side get the worst of both.
Left alone, overflowing gutters mean water running behind the fascia, and in a North Jersey winter, ice damming on shaded north-facing eaves during freeze-thaw. We hand-clear the gutters, bag the debris, flush the downspouts to confirm flow, and tell you honestly if a guard or a fascia repair is worth it — no upsell.

They also performed a few repairs and reset a few areas that needed attention. We had never had this done professionally before. From the beginning estimating phase to the final coat of sealer, we were very happy with the services provided, the price and the final result, which they also warrantee for 1 year. I highly recommend Gallo Bros. Power Washing and will use them for other services in the future.”

“Before and after photos attached. Gallo Bros Power Washing is a must. Our pavers were full of weeds which took me hours to pull out only to have to do again a week later when they grew back. With two short days, our pavers looked brand new. After the men power washed our pavers, my husband and I could barely believe they did not totally replace them haha When they arrived day 2 to fill in and sand the pavers, again we were speechless. Our yard looks completely new. We are so appreciative of the quick and professional work they did as well as the friendliness and quick responses we received. Highly recommend this service!”

“I wanted power wash my backyard deck for a long time but they said it cannot be done due to the equipment was not accessible however Gallo Brothers had very long 400feet hose and did the power wash which was not done for many years. I am very happy they did a very good job specially Mark was very helpful to do front porch and walkway. It is speck clean this is exactly what I wanted to do. I do highly recommend Gallo Bothers meticulous job.”

Gutter Cleaning in Chatham — FAQ
I have huge oaks over my roof — how often should I get my gutters cleaned in Chatham?
With mature oak and maple canopy like most of the older Chatham streets have, twice a year is realistic — a fall cleaning after the leaves finish dropping (usually mid-to-late November here), and a spring cleaning to clear maple seeds and pollen mat. Homes on more open, newer cul-de-sac lots can often get by with one thorough fall visit.
My gutters overflow in winter and I get ice on the edge of the roof — is that a gutter problem?
Often yes. Packed leaf debris blocks water, it backs up, then freezes on the shaded north-facing eaves during our freeze-thaw swings — that's ice damming. Clearing and flushing the gutters and downspouts before the first hard freeze is the cheapest prevention. If damming keeps happening after cleaning, it's usually an attic insulation or ventilation issue, and we'll tell you that straight.
Do you clean gutters on the steep older colonials near the center of town without damaging the roof?
Yes. On the steep pitched roofs typical of Chatham's older center-hall colonials and clapboard homes, we work from ladders and hand-clear the troughs rather than blasting from the roof surface. We bag the debris, flush each downspout to confirm it actually drains, and keep foot traffic off aging asphalt shingles so nothing gets scuffed.
How much does power washing cost in North Jersey?
Most North Jersey homes run about $300–$600, depending on the size of your home and what you want cleaned. We give you a firm, all-in price before we start — no surprises. Quotes are always free.
Should I soft wash or pressure wash my house?
Soft washing for your roof and siding — it uses low pressure and a cleaning solution, so it kills algae and mildew without damaging the surface. High pressure is only for hard surfaces like concrete driveways and patios. We pick the right method for each surface so nothing gets harmed.
How often should I wash my house in New Jersey?
About once every 1–2 years for most homes. New Jersey's humidity grows green and black algae fast, especially on shaded or north-facing walls and roofs, so damp or wooded lots may need it yearly.
Is roof cleaning safe for my shingles?
Yes. We use a low-pressure soft wash — never high pressure — which is the method shingle makers actually recommend. It lifts the black streaks, moss and algae without cracking or stripping your shingles.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Gallo Bros is fully licensed and insured, and our crew is background-checked. We're a local, family-owned company with 834+ five-star reviews across North Jersey.
