Spring leaf drop
Live oaks drop last year’s leaves as new growth comes in, so McKinney gutters fill in spring as well as fall.
McKinney, TX · Collin County
Gutters and downspouts in McKinney cleared of leaves, seeds and roof grit, and the black tiger stripes on the outside brightened away.
Gutter trouble in McKinney follows the trees and the storms. Live oaks are not true evergreens: they shed old leaves as the new ones come in each spring, so a clean fall gutter can be packed again by March. Cedar elms bloom from late summer and drop yellow leaves in autumn. Then come the hailstorms. The March 2019 storm hit Frisco and McKinney hardest, and hail knocks shingle granules loose that settle in the gutter like wet sand.
We clear the debris out of the gutters and flush the downspouts so water flows, then, if you want it, brighten the outside face. Those black tiger stripes are oxidation, and they come off with chemistry, not pressure. The photos show one of the homes we have cleaned, gutters and downspout included.

After a hailstorm, loose granules from the shingles collect in the gutter and downspouts and slow everything down. A clean-out after storm season keeps water moving.
Neighborhoods like Stonebridge Ranch ask owners to keep homes safe, clean and attractive, and inspectors look from the street. Overflowing gutters and striped faces are easy to spot from there.
Gutter Cleaning & Gutter Brightening in McKinney
At least twice a year for most homes: once after the spring live oak drop and once after fall. Homes under big trees, or after a hailstorm, can need a third visit.
They are called tiger stripes, oxidation baked onto the outside face. Pressure will not take them off and can damage the finish. Gutter brightening is chemical work, and it is one of our specialties.
No. Cleaning clears the debris inside so water flows; brightening removes the stripes on the outside face. They are separate services, and many McKinney homes need both.
