The best gutter cleaning in Ames.
Most Ames homes need gutter cleaning twice a year — late spring after seed-pod drop and late fall after the leaves come down. JBL Exterior Pros hand-clears every run, flushes every downspout, and photo-documents the work before leaving. From Campustown, Old Town, Ames Lake to the rest of Ames, JBL covers every ZIP in the city — 50010, 50011, 50012, 50014, Story County.
— Why Ames homes need this
Gutter Cleaning, the Ames way.
The homes
Ames is the most varied stock outside Des Moines proper. Campustown and Old Town hold late-1800s and early-1900s Victorian, four-square, and craftsman homes — many now owned by professional landlords as student rentals. Central neighborhoods run heavy to 1950s–1980s mid-century ranches and split-levels.
Northridge, Stuart Smith, and Somerset on the north and northwest sides are 1990s–2020s subdivisions, more in line with DSM-suburb patterns. The west-side stock is mixed-era. Multi-unit rental buildings show up regularly and we work with several landlord clients on a recurring basis.
In the gutters here
Old Town and the established central neighborhoods sit under some of the heaviest mature tree cover in Story County, which gives Ames among our largest autumn gutter loads. Through fall those canopies drop leaves, seeds, and helicopter debris that pack downspouts and back water up over the fascia, and standing debris through a Story County winter feeds ice dams along the eave.
Newer north and northwest subdivisions like Northridge, Stuart Smith, and Somerset carry lighter loads but still clog at the downspout elbows. Homes under dense canopy do best cleared twice a year — late spring and again in late fall after drop — while lighter-tree lots can hold a single autumn cleaning.

What central Iowa homeowners are saying.
Real reviews from the families and properties we’ve cared for across central Iowa.
“Super thorough, prompt, professional — and fantastic work. Our house sparkled when they were finished. I've hired window washers before and was always bummed by streaks the next day. Not so with JBL — everything looked perfect, even after it rained.”
“I asked for a quote. We agreed on a price, shook hands and said let's do it. When I came back from vacation, JBL had done a great job power washing my house. I was so pleased I asked for a sign to put in my yard.”
“Have used them several times and AWESOME!! Quality work and affordable!!”
“Various projects with this company, and I can't say enough great things about the work, the customer service, and the personalized expertise of the owners. Their pricing got me to try them — and their work far exceeds what they charge.”
“Jaxson and his team were great! Had outside windows done this spring. Look great even after recent rains. Great customer service, quality product and reasonable price. Highly recommend!”
“They are a fantastic crew. Came and cleaned all the windows in a professional manner and with very little interruption. I highly recommend them — we couldn't be more pleased!”

Gutter cleaning questions, answered.
The things Ames homeowners ask us most, before the first visit. Don’t see yours? Just ask.
Yes — JBL Exterior Pros covers every Ames neighborhood and ZIP code (50010, 50011, 50012, 50014, Story County), from Campustown, Old Town, Ames Lake to West Ames. We're on Ames streets regularly — only 30 miles from downtown Des Moines.
Twice a year for most central Iowa homes — late spring (after seed-pods) and late fall (after leaf drop). Heavily-treed properties may need a third in mid-summer.
We document and report — loose hangers, sagging runs, fascia rot. Minor fixes we can usually handle on the spot; bigger repairs we'll recommend a specialist and won't add filler work.
No. Even the best guards collect fine debris on top and let some material through. Most homes with guards still need annual cleaning — just lighter and faster.
Gutter cleaning in Ames is priced by the size of your home and the scope of the job — every Ames property is a little different. Every quote is free and walked in person within one business day, so the price reflects the actual home, not a flat rate.
Ice dams form when clogged gutters back water up under shingles, where it freezes and expands. The best prevention is fall cleaning before first freeze (typically late October–early November in central Iowa). We don't service active ice dams in winter — that's a specialized job.
Yes. While we're on the ladder cleaning gutters, we look for fascia rot, soffit damage, loose hangers, and pitch problems. We document anything we find in the photos and report it to you on the walk-through.
Honest answer: gutter cleaning is one of the more dangerous home tasks (ladder falls are the leading cause of home injury). It's also one of the easiest to do incompletely — missing a downspout clog doesn't show until the next big rain, when water spills over the gutter and damages the fascia. We do it safely and confirm the work — that's the value.
Yes, smaller commercial properties (storefronts, small offices, apartment buildings under three stories). For larger commercial gutter contracts we partner with crews equipped for that scale — we'll refer you if your property is beyond what we handle.
