Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Antioch on Anita Avenue. 4500 sq ft. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
A two-story house spanning roughly 4,500 square feet in Antioch sits in the kind of tree-heavy neighborhood where gutters take a serious beating by the time the season turns. Leaf debris had been building up long enough that by the time we arrived at eight in the morning, both sections of the roofline were completely packed — not just slow-draining but fully stopped. The scale of the buildup made clear this hadn't been cleared in some time.
We moved systematically across both structures, working the gutter runs section by section and clearing the downspout elbows by hand where the clogs had compacted into solid plugs. That's where most of the time went — the elbows had to be broken apart and flushed before water could move through at all. By the end of the four-hour job, we'd filled nine garbage bags with debris hauled off the roof and out of the downspouts. The gutters were draining clean when we left.

Common questions from Antioch homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 4,500 sq ft two-story house in Antioch, this job came in at $600, which reflects the extra work involved in clearing clogged downspouts and elbows. In the broader Chicago North Shore area, gutter cleaning on a home this size typically runs $250–$650 depending on debris load, story height, and downspout complexity.
Most two-story homes need gutter cleaning at least twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall after leaves have dropped. If your property has heavy tree coverage or you've had clogged elbows like this Antioch home did, an extra mid-season check can prevent water from backing up and damaging fascia or foundations.
On this 4,500 sq ft job we cleared all gutters of debris, flushed the downspouts, and cleared clogged elbows that were blocking flow entirely. We check that water moves freely from the gutter trough all the way through the downspout to the ground-level outlet before we consider the job done.
We clear the full drainage path — gutters, downspouts, and elbows. On this Antioch house the elbows were the main culprit, packed tight enough to cause standing water in the gutters, and clearing them was the most time-intensive part of the visit.
