Roof & Gutter Cleaning in Davao
We clean roofs and gutters across Davao — clearing leaves, sediment and moss so rainwater goes down the downspouts instead of over your walls or into the ceiling. A typical bungalow runs ₱2,500–₱5,000, two-storey homes ₱4,000–₱8,000, done with proper ladders and safety lines. The smart timing is just before the heavy-rain months, and again after any storm that strips the neighborhood trees.
Nobody in Davao thinks about their gutters until a downpour turns them into waterfalls. By then the damage chain has usually started: overflowing water streaks and stains the facade, soaks the eaves, finds its way under roof sheets into the ceiling, and undermines the soil at the foundation drip line. And a clogged gutter holding stagnant water is a mosquito nursery — in a city that takes dengue seriously, that alone is reason to clean them.
What clogged gutters actually cost you
Ceiling and eave damage. Water backing up under roof sheets rots ceiling boards and invites leaks that get misdiagnosed as "roof problems" — a ₱3,000 cleaning issue masquerading as a ₱30,000 roofing job.
Facade staining. Overflow streaks down painted walls leave tannin and algae stains that need pressure washing or repainting.
Rust-through. Wet debris sitting in metal gutters year-round corrodes them from the inside; gutters that are cleaned annually last many years longer.
Mosquito breeding. A blocked gutter is a long, warm, undisturbed puddle — exactly what dengue mosquitoes want, directly above your windows.
Garden and foundation erosion. Concentrated overflow carves the soil line and splashes mud onto walls every rain.
Roof and gutter cleaning rates in Davao
| Property | Typical price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Bungalow / single-storey | ₱2,500 – ₱5,000 | Gutters + downspouts + roof debris sweep |
| Two-storey house | ₱4,000 – ₱8,000 | Same, with ladder/safety work |
| Roof moss/algae treatment add-on | ₱1,500 – ₱4,000 | Soft-wash treatment, no destructive scraping |
| Downspout unclogging only | ₱800 – ₱1,500 | When water sheets over mid-gutter |
| Commercial / apartment buildings | per assessment | Quoted after photos or site visit |
Steep or fragile roofs (aged clay tile, brittle fiber-cement) are assessed first — some jobs need roped access rather than walking the sheets, and we price that honestly instead of improvising on your roof.
When to schedule it
Davao is not as typhoon-exposed as Luzon, but the rain comes hard when it comes — and the transition weeks before the wetter months are when a cleaning pays for itself the fastest. Our recommended rhythm: a full roof-and-gutter service before the rains, a quick gutter check after any storm violent enough to strip leaves, and annually as the minimum for houses without overhanging trees. Homes under mango or acacia canopies, and anything near the river corridors where debris flies in storms, should think in six-month cycles.
While the crew is up there, they photograph what owners can never see: lifted sheet edges, rusted screws, cracked sealant at penetrations, sagging gutter sections. You get those photos with the invoice — early warnings that cost nothing now and prevent the expensive version later.

Frequently asked questions
How often should gutters be cleaned in Davao?
At minimum once a year before the heaviest rains; every six months if trees overhang the roof. After any storm that visibly strips leaves in your street, a quick check costs little and catches the clog before the next downpour finds it.
Can you also fix a leaking gutter or roof?
Minor fixes (resealing a joint, refastening a bracket) can often be done on the spot for a small add-on. Bigger repairs get documented with photos and referred to vetted roofing contractors — you decide with evidence in hand, and nobody invents a roofing emergency on your roof.
Is pressure washing safe for my roof?
On bare metal sheets, generally yes at the right pressure; on painted, coated or tile roofs, high pressure strips coatings and cracks tiles — there we soft-wash and brush instead. The crew matches method to material, which is exactly the judgment you are paying for.
Do you clean solar panels too?
Yes — dusty panels in Davao quietly lose generation, and roof visits combine naturally with a panel wash using deionized water and soft brushes. Mention your panel count when booking and we bundle it.
