Monsters Gutter has been cleaning all types of roofs in Yuba City for many years. Our well-trained crews use proven techniques when cleaning your roof. Our methods give us the ability to provide a safe and high-quality service, making us the roof cleaners of choice in Yuba City. Our customer service and experience speak for themselves. We have pressure washed, broom cleaned or applied moss treatment to just about every type of surface you can think of and we have hundreds of satisfied customers.
Due to the great weather we enjoy here in Yuba City, for most of us it is only necessary to perform a roof cleaning with moss treatment only once every 2 to 5 years. Since this is the case, it makes sense to have a professional come out and perform this dangerous task and combine it with your gutter cleaning to save on costs. We know that Monsters Gutter is Yuba City‘s best choice for professional roof cleaning, but let us explain our roof cleaning process and if you like what you see you can give us a call.
Our typical roof moss treatment includes blowing off all the debris from the roof before applying a chemical wash to the roof to remove moss & algae over the course of a few Yuba City rain cycles. Roof cleaning has often been requested by our Yuba City clients who have tile roofs and dense surrounding trees. After years of cleaning their gutters, we hear clients ask "while you’re up there, can you get the moss off the roof as well?" This of course is if we haven’t already recommended it to them. Other customers specifically call us to clean and treat their roof.
After getting several requests in the early days it was decided that Monsters Gutter would offer roof cleaning and moss treatment service to our clients to help extend the lives of their roofs and reduce the amount of debris that could still make its way into the gutters.
Who wouldn't want a full-service gutter cleaner out to inspect their roof while cleaning it and the gutters? We can easily bid any roof work that we notice while we are up there. Our Yuba City roof cleaning is a process of removing dirt, debris, and moss from roofs. Roof cleaning can extend the life of your roof and keep it looking its best for passers-by.
Algae and other types of build-up often form on parts of roofs that are shaded, usually on the North-facing side, and can reduce a roof's life expectancy. The presence of soot, dirt, or biomass can affect how much sunlight is reflected by a roof and thus the amount of heat a building absorbs instead.
Let's face the fact that we all need to keep our roofs clean. When leaves pile up on the roof we need to get out there and clear them off so they do not get into the gutter but also because eventually, leaves will decompose on your roof thereby causing mildew or damage to your roofing material. Our Yuba City customers have come to understand the importance of blowing off debris from their roofs every year before the storms roll into town. Our customers have also come to understand the importance of treating moss every few years so it doesn’t lead to costly repairs.
Yuba City is the city of trees. If you don’t take proper care of your roof and it deteriorates, water can enter your home or business and severely damage the frame, roof, walls and foundations. Call Monsters Gutter today to schedule a bid to treat any moss build-up on your roof before it gets any worse.
Why Get a Roof Cleaning?
When fall hits Yuba City and you call to have us clean your gutters, remember to ask us about cleaning your roof too. At Monsters Gutter, we work hard to ensure we protect the residents of Yuba City from serious water damage in their home by proactively taking action to prevent damage. That means doing a great job cleaning your gutters and, when it’s needed, recommending roof cleaning and treatment.
Many Yuba City home and business owners forget about their roof. They may clean their own gutters or hire some friend or neighbor but then neglect to clear the leaves from all over the roof. Those leaves and other debris end up in the gutters next week, or ends up decomposing on the roof, compromising the tiles or composite material. Roofing material does not last forever. All types of roofing have a lifespan. Roof cleaning and moss treatment are essential to getting the most life out of your roof. Some companies provide cleaning with a pressure washer but in most instances, blowers and only light user of water is recommend to prevent shifting and damage to roofing material, followed by chemical application specifically designed to treat moss build-up.
Preliminary Inspection and Site Planning
Employee Safety:
We hold weekly safety meetings in compliance with OSHA standards. We express to all our employees that no job is worth injury. When working on roofs, we prevent injury by using a fall suppression system, sometimes referred to as a roof safety system. We also require our crews to wear safety glasses and nonslip boots as well as other safety gear when necessary. Even with this, if there is a lot of moss and the roof is too slick to safely walk on, we may take an alternate approach.
The proximity of neighbors:
Yuba City is known as the City of Trees, which means roofs can get pretty filthy from all the leaves and detritus coming from your own trees as well as those of your neighbors. The main problem with this dirt is that it quickly becomes mildew, mold and mud that doesn’t just go away. It has to be removed or it will continue to build up and cause costly issues to your roof. Our roof cleaners take the proper precautions to prevent a mess from blowing over to your neighbor's property.
If you do not have a good Yuba City roof cleaning service that is mindful of this, you can end up with some unhappy neighbors. It is the standard practice of Monsters Gutter to make sure not only your property but also your neighbor's properties are as tidy and free of debris as they were when we arrived. We want to help you keep good neighbors, so depending on how dirty your roof is, we calculate the time it will take to clean any blown off material from their property as well.
Pools:
Depending on how close your pool is to the roof and how dirty the roof is, we may ask that you cover the pool to prevent debris from getting into it.
Pitch of your roof:
Another consideration is the pitch of your roof, meaning how steep it is. Roof pitch can be determined as a ratio of height and horizontal length. Some Victorian style roofs have a much steeper pitch which makes for a more dangerous work environment. For roofs with extreme pitches, a lift will need to be calculated into the cost. For standard roofs, it is safe enough under normal conditions.
Clean Up:
Yuba City roof cleaning is dirty work. What we enjoy most about being roof cleaners are the immediate results that can be seen simply by looking at the roof after we have completed our work. There is no doubt that by the time we are done you will see a huge difference. However, what good is a clean roof if all the leaves, mud and mess that were cleaned off is now on the ground around your home? We always perform a cleanup that includes blowing off the debris that came down from your roof.
What about Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing is an effective way to clean concrete driveways and some siding at your Yuba City home or business. It can also be used on hard surfaces such as metal or concrete tiles, but make sure to use a PSI that will not damage the roof or shift the tiles. One reason we use pressure washing is to make sure that we remove embedded dirt. Concrete tiles are typically more porous than clay tiles making them a little more challenging when it comes to removing debris before performing a moss treatment. That being said, it is important to NOT pressure wash:
Do not Pressure Wash:
The safest way to be sure the job is done right is to call Monsters Gutter.
Safety While Cleaning
At Monsters Gutter, we are huge on safety. It cannot be stressed enough to our crews that safety comes first. Many gutter cleaners performing this type of work do not have insurance and do not use proper safety gear. This can lead to disaster for you the home or business owner, which is why we always maintain insurance coverage and use proper gear.
There are many different styles of roofs. Yuba City roof cleaning requires an understanding of each so that cleaning them is effective, efficient and safe. Cross-gabled and cross-hipped roofs are pretty common. Cross-hipped roofs create problems where the dirt and grime from one side gets over to the other. For these types of roofs, we typically clean from the top down to make sure we get it all.
Most roofs have at least a few leaves, pine needles or other bits of debris scattered around. This is true even if you don’t have trees on your property, as things can blow into your yard form neighboring yards and fields. When leaves, pine needles and debris accumulate, they become a threat to the integrity of your roof. Piles of leaves tend to attract bugs or absorb moisture which becomes heavy and moldy, causing problems with your shingles and reducing the over the life of your roof.
Trees and Overhanging Brush
Most of us love luscious tall trees and the shade they provide. However, many property owners neglect tree trimming. It is recommended that you keep trees and branches from growing over your roof. By regularly having your trees trimmed back, you will prevent excessive leaves and twigs from gathering on your roof and in your gutters and causing expensive problems on down the line. By pruning back tree limbs, you will be preserving the life of your roof and gutters for several additional years.
If you need roof cleaning in Yuba City, it is recommended that you seek out a qualified service provider. Anyone out there can say they can clean your roof and they may even do a decent job, but if they haven't taken the steps to become insured, how can you trust them to pay attention to details or to safety while working on your home or business?
You can always go to the online to see if a your vendor is a licensed contractor and if they are bonded and insured. When you are ready for a roof cleaning or moss treatment in Yuba City, do your homework and you will be led to Monsters Gutter. Give us a call. We assure you that you will not be disappointed.

What Can Go Wrong with Downspouts?
Just like any other part of your Yuba City home's exterior, your downspouts need maintenance, repair, and the occasional downspout replacement. This ensures your gutters stay effective and that your property remains protected from water damage. Over time, there are many common issues that can go wrong with your downspout that require a replacement. Putting off replacement only risks more serious issues occurring, which can lead to significant property damage.
Here are a few of the most common reasons for Yuba City downspout replacement:
Yuba City downspout repairs are possible in some situations, but there are certain cases when repairs cannot be done or are not worth it. The first case is you’re your downspout begins to rust. Once rust sets in, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to repair. Many repairs are not possible because the rust prevents caulks and sealants from adhering to the downspout. When it comes to rust, Monsters Gutter recommends skipping repairs and scheduling an affordable downspout replacement in Yuba City instead.
Downspouts made of vinyl or plastic can also succumb to issues that cannot be repaired. Over time, especially in the Yuba City heat, vinyl and plastic downspouts warp, making repairs challenging and usually unsuccessful. Instead, we recommend a downspout replacement to upgrade the damaged downspout with a brand new metal one, suitable for Yuba City summers.
Whatever problem your gutter or downspout system is experiencing, the Yuba City team of gutter experts at Monsters Gutter will help you find a fast, effective solution. Our downspout replacement service will protect your home or business from water damage and flooding for years to come.

Our Process for Yuba City Downspout Replacement
At Monsters Gutter, we use a tried and true installation process that we've perfected during our many years of successful Yuba City downspout replacement. By relying on the best techniques and equipment, we can ensure your new downspout will protect your property for years to come. A properly installed downspout can weather heavy rains, extreme temperature changes, and light impacts without cracking or separating from the building. This means your downspout can effectively redirect water away from your foundation and landscape, as it was meant to, with minimal maintenance and repair.
So how do we go about replacing your old downspout? When our Yuba City gutter experts arrive at your home or business, here's what you can expect:
Step 1 - We Remove the Old Downspout
We carefully remove your old downspout to avoid damaging your building and existing gutter system. This involves unscrewing the gutter screws holding the outlet and downspout brackets to the side of the building. We will then loosen the downspout elbow and remove the straight section of the old downspout. We dispose of the old downspout for you when we're done.
Step 2 - Attach New Elbows
The elbow is the portion of the downspout that connects the downspout on the wall to your gutter system at the outer edge of your roof. Most gutter systems have several elbows, especially if you have brick, stone or other decoration on the face of your property. One elbow sits just above ground level to connect the vertical portion of the downspout with the section that lies against or just above the ground. This is also called a kick. Since the elbow has seams, we take extra care to seal it in a way that's leak-proof. We don't want water leaking out from the seams and gushing down the sides of your home or business. With rectangular downspouts, we’re able to fashion the elbow from the length of stick material and customize it to your property height and depth.
Step 3 - Attaching New Downspout Straight Sections
The straight sections of the downspout are located between the elbows. As the name implies, these are straight, rigid pieces that sit flush against your building's exterior walls. Straight pieces need to be measured and cut with precision, so they form a perfect seal with the elbows. If this step isn't done properly, your downspout's ability to move water away from your home or office will be reduced significantly. Some clients opt to have an additional firm or flexible tube section installed at the very bottom of the downspout. This piece lays against the ground and carries water further away from the building, offering additional protection to the foundation and nearby landscaping.
Step 4- Affix Brackets
The final step of downspout replacement is to affix brackets or straps to the side of the house. Using self-drilling concrete screws, we attach the downspout straps to hold it flush to your building. This ensures the downspout has a firm, long-lasting grip that won't be shaken loose by heavy rains or wind.
