Gutter Cleaning · Beaufort County
Live oak canopy, long antebellum rooflines and porch roofs on several sides make Beaufort gutters slow to keep clear. We clean them by hand and flush every downspout.

Call (843) 505-1389Gutter cleaning in Beaufort starts with the trees. The live oaks that arch over Craven Street, Hancock Street and the 200 block of Laurens Street drop leaves, acorns and strands of Spanish moss onto the roofs below, and the big antebellum and Victorian houses under them carry long roof edges plus porch roofs that each need a clear gutter.
A&A Island Services cleans gutters all over the city, from The Point and The Bluff to Pigeon Point and Mossy Oaks. The owner is on site for every cleaning we do here, and estimates cost nothing: just call (843) 505-1389.
Coastal live oaks do not drop their leaves in autumn. Clemson Cooperative Extension notes that they hold their leaves through winter, then the old leaves yellow and fall as new ones expand in spring. That puts the heaviest load in your gutters just before the wet season. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Beaufort MCAS station put June through August rainfall at 17.06 inches, more than a third of the 45.02-inch yearly total, so a spring clog left in place gets tested by summer storms within weeks.
Where you live changes the work. On The Point, some of the city's largest and oldest homes sit under full canopy, and moss and acorns pack into long runs and downspout elbows. In the Old Commons, nearly every house has a front or side porch, and those lower porch gutters catch everything that slides off the main roof. Pigeon Point is mostly smaller one-story homes from the early 1900s, quicker to reach from a ladder, though any big tree nearby still sets the schedule. In Mossy Oaks, the city named slab foundations among the reasons the neighborhood flooded before its $8 million drainage project, so a blocked downspout there spills roof water right at the slab.
The city's own Beaufort Preservation Manual recommends clearing gutters and flushing downspouts at least twice a year, removing debris by hand, and going more often on properties with many trees. We clean to that standard.
What You Get
Every visit covers the whole system, not just the front elevation. We pull leaves, moss, acorns and grit out by hand, flush each downspout, and watch the water come out at the bottom. Packed elbows get cleared mechanically, never with chemical drain cleaners. While we are up there, we look over hangers, seams and slope and tell you what we see. See our full gutter cleaning service, or ask about gutter guards if your trees keep you on a short schedule.
Why A&A
A&A has spent more than 20 years cleaning and installing gutters in the Lowcountry. Spring oak drop, matted moss and acorn-packed elbows are familiar problems, so each cleaning is planned around your trees and your roofline instead of a generic checklist.
You will find the owner on site at every A&A job. On a historic house with a painted cornice and fragile porch trim, that means someone accountable is watching where ladders lean, how debris comes down, and whether your house looks the same when we leave.
Every cleaning carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If a downspout still backs up after our visit, call and tell us. A&A is licensed and insured, and estimates are free by phone at (843) 505-1389 on weekdays between 8 AM and 8 PM.

FAQ
Beaufort's preservation manual calls for clearing gutters and flushing downspouts at least twice a year, and more often under heavy trees. For most homes under live oaks, that means one cleaning after the spring leaf drop and another in late fall. Houses on deeply shaded streets may need a third visit.
Yes. We clean by hand, set ladders clear of delicate cornice and porch details wherever we can, and avoid prying on old hangers. If we find a gutter spiked into a cornice or a rotted section, we point it out rather than forcing it. Repairs on a contributing structure may need city review, so we explain before doing anything beyond cleaning.
Clemson Extension describes Spanish moss as an epiphyte that takes nothing from its host tree, but strands that fall onto a roof still wash into the gutters. There they knot together with oak leaves into wet mats that block outlets. Pulling those mats out by hand and flushing the downspout keeps water moving.
