Shine Window Cleaning is a franchise that says it "operates 60 locations across the country" and cleans gutters alongside windows. We arrange gutter and downspout cleaning only, in ten metros. Facts below are from Shine's gutter cleaning and locations pages, read 2026-09-26; we have not requested a quote.
How much does Shine charge for gutter cleaning?
Shine does not publish a price. Its page says costs "vary based on your home's size, gutter length, debris level, and accessibility" and sends you to a free estimate through an online form or your local team. Those four factors are the right ones: they are the same items our scope worksheet asks you to write down, so filling it in first makes any Shine estimate easier to check.
How often does Shine say to clean?
Its page recommends cleaning "twice a year, typically in late spring and fall," and quarterly for homes under heavy tree cover. That matches the twice-a-year baseline in West Virginia University Extension's guidance. Quarterly is a lot of visits; our frequency tool helps you check whether your trees justify it.

Does Shine serve my metro?
Of the about 60 markets on its locations page, read 2026-09-26, three carry one of our metro names: North Pittsburgh (our Pittsburgh page), Dallas-Highland Park (our Dallas page) and Denver (with a separate Littleton market). For Atlanta it lists suburbs only, Alpharetta and Marietta. We found no Shine market for New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boise, Chattanooga or Savannah.

Common questions
