Spartanburg gutters in Converse Heights, Hampton Heights, Duncan Park–Forest Hills, and Fernwood fill with pine needles and the late-March pine pollen coat. Those neighborhoods are shaded. Leaves and needles pack the trough, then the first hard rain overflows at the corner and splashes red clay up the siding. If one Hampton Heights downspout is the only place with an orange band, the gutter above it is the clue. Spartanburg County humidity also grows black tiger stripes down the outside face. That stain is usually mildew or algae, a brightening job, not a sign the metal has failed.
Clean the inside so water reaches the outlet. Wash the face at low pressure so the aluminum does not dent and water does not drive under the shingle edge. Do not pressure wash the roof to make it match. Black roof streaks are typically Gloeocapsa magma. Spartanburg is not covered by Greenville County's stormwater ordinance. Still ask where the debris and rinse water go. They should not be raked into the street drain.
Single-story cleaning in the national guides runs about $50–$150, or $0.50–$1.50 per foot. Two-story Converse Heights eaves cost more. That is a national cost-guide range; local quotes vary. No separate brightening figure is cited here. Listings rank up to three Top Spots, then Featured, then the rest. The $40 deposit is credited to the job.

Soft wash vs. pressure wash
The outside of a gutter in Spartanburg should be brightened at low pressure. High pressure can dent aluminum on a house in Converse Heights and drive water under the shingles.

Those roof streaks are usually Gloeocapsa magma. Spartanburg is in Spartanburg County. Ask how wash water is kept out of storm drains.
