Most Clive 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 Clive, Country Club, Wandering Woods to the rest of Clive, JBL covers every ZIP in the city — 50325, Polk / Dallas County.

Clive sits as a small affluent suburb sandwiched between Urbandale and West Des Moines. Stock runs from 1960s–70s split-levels and ranches in the older central section to 1990s–2010s executive homes in the developments along Walnut Creek and the country club.
Brick veneer with vinyl or fiber-cement accents is the most common siding combination. Lots tend to be wooded — Clive Greenbelt and Walnut Creek carry mature canopy across most of the city.


Greenbelt-adjacent properties in Clive carry the heaviest autumn gutter loads of any inner-ring suburb we work — the mature canopy along the Clive Greenbelt and Walnut Creek drops a steady load of leaves and seed through fall. As that debris packs down it clogs downspouts, and water that can't drain backs up over the fascia, soaks soffits, and feeds ice dams once the freeze-thaw sets in.
Wooded lots through Wandering Woods, the Country Club, and Bald Eagle generally need clearing twice — once mid-fall, again after the canopy finishes dropping — while more open central lots in Original Clive can hold to a single late-fall pass. Timing it before the first hard freeze keeps the system draining clean.

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.”
“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.”
“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!”

The things Clive homeowners ask us most, before the first visit. Don’t see yours? Just ask.
Yes — JBL Exterior Pros covers every Clive neighborhood and ZIP code (50325, Polk / Dallas County), from Original Clive, Country Club, Wandering Woods to Northwood. We're on Clive streets regularly — only 5 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 Clive is priced by the size of your home and the scope of the job — every Clive 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.
