Taylors gutters along Chick Springs, Brushy Creek, and Edwards Forest sit in Greenville County tree cover. Pine pollen from late March through April and the needles after it are what stop the water. When a Brushy Creek downspout overflows, the orange band of red clay shows up on the siding directly below and nowhere else. That is the diagnostic. Cleaning the trough and lengthening the downspout does more for that stain than another house wash alone.
The outside black streaks are tiger striping. Low pressure on the face. Not a pressure wash of the shingles, which are often stained by Gloeocapsa magma instead. Edwards Forest and Chick Springs streets can have curb inlets. Greenville County may treat gutter rinse and debris in those inlets as an illicit discharge. Ask the pro to say where it will go.
Guide numbers for single-story exterior cleaning are about $50–$150 and $0.50–$1.50 per foot. Second stories cost more. That is a national cost-guide range; local quotes vary. Brightening is described here without a fake guide price. Ranking uses 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 Taylors should be brightened at low pressure. High pressure can dent aluminum on a house in Chick Springs and drive water under the shingles. Cleaning pine needles out of the trough is a separate step from washing tiger stripes off the face. Do not pressure wash asphalt shingles to match a clean gutter. Those roof streaks are usually Gloeocapsa magma. Taylors is in Greenville County, where wash water that reaches a storm drain and is not entirely stormwater can count as an illicit discharge.
