Most Grimes 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 Original Grimes, Spring Creek, North Grimes to the rest of Grimes, JBL covers every ZIP in the city — 50111, Polk / Dallas County.

Grimes is the metro's other newest-stock zone (along with Ankeny). Most of the city's footprint is 2000s–present subdivisions with conventional new-build patterns: vinyl siding with stone-veneer accents on the front elevation, asphalt shingles, attached two- or three-car garages.
The original downtown core is small, with a thin band of older homes that predate the suburban expansion. Heritage and North Grimes are the most active newer-build zones.


Grimes' tree canopy is still establishing across the newer subdivisions, so most homes shed a light, steady load rather than a heavy fall dump — but it accumulates fast in north valleys and tight downspout elbows, and the older trees around Original Grimes and Spring Creek add a real seed-and-leaf load.
Spring pollen blowing off the surrounding farmland packs into that debris and cements it. Left in place it backs up at the downspouts, overflows behind the fascia, and feeds soffit rot and winter ice dams along the eaves. For most newer Grimes homes one fall cleaning holds; lots near mature trees do better cleaned spring and fall.

Every run cleared by hand — leaves, seed pods, and sediment bagged and hauled off, never blown onto your roof.

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.”
“Tatum was great to work with, and gave our windows a much needed cleaning after winter.”
“JBL Exterior Pros were awesome to work with. Very professional. On time and did a great job. Highly recommend them.”
“JBL did a fantastic job soft washing our house and deck for a very reasonable price. The dirt had piled up on our siding over the years and I'd tried to clean it myself to no avail. They were upfront, easy to work with — we're having them back for the windows and screens.”
“Amazing job! Our house looks like it got a brand new paint job. The team was so friendly and kind to our family and we are so happy with how it turned out. 10/10 would recommend and will use them again in future years.”
“The crew came and did my windows, the deck, and soft-washed the house — they did a great job. Up-and-coming young company doing good work.”

The things Grimes homeowners ask us most, before the first visit. Don’t see yours? Just ask.
Yes — JBL Exterior Pros covers every Grimes neighborhood and ZIP code (50111, Polk / Dallas County), from Original Grimes, Spring Creek, North Grimes to Plum Tree. We're on Grimes streets regularly — only 12 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 Grimes is priced by the size of your home and the scope of the job — every Grimes 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.
