Gutter Cleaning at a 1-story house in Arlington Heights on South Dunton Avenue. 1150 sq ft. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
— Arlington Heights crew
A compact one-story in Arlington Heights, sitting under what must have been a decent canopy of trees judging by what had settled in the gutters. By the time we arrived, leaf debris had packed into the runs and downspouts well enough to slow drainage, and the roof surface itself had accumulated a layer of organic buildup that tends to work its way into the gutters over time if left alone. Nothing unusual for this part of the northwest suburbs heading into the colder months — just accumulated seasonal neglect that needed clearing out.
We worked the roof first, clearing the buildup from the surface before moving to the gutters themselves, so any loosened debris didn't land in freshly cleaned runs. The gutter lines on a 1,150-square-foot footprint don't cover a lot of linear feet, which kept the job straightforward. Leaves came out, the channels were cleared through, and the downspouts were checked to confirm flow. No significant blockages, no damaged sections to flag. Clean work on a clean day. Invoice sent when we were done.

Common questions from Arlington Heights homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 1-story house around 1,150 sq ft, gutter cleaning in Arlington Heights typically runs $100–$175, and this project came in at $150. Larger homes or those with heavy debris buildup can push the price higher, but single-story ranches and bungalows generally stay in that range.
A 1-story home of this size usually takes one to two hours from setup to cleanup. When roof cleaning is added to the job, as it was here, expect the visit to run closer to two hours total.
We clear all debris from the gutters and flush the downspouts to confirm water flows freely. This job also included roof cleaning to remove moss, algae, and built-up grime from the surface, so the gutters stay cleaner longer after the visit.
Most homes in the Arlington Heights area benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after tree seeds fall and again in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes surrounded by mature trees may need a third cleaning to prevent clogs from causing water damage to fascia and foundations. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
