Gutter Cleaning at a 1-story house in Arlington Heights on West Brittany Drive. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
A single-story home in Arlington Heights doesn't ask much of a crew in terms of height, but what it lacks in elevation it can more than make up for in linear footage of gutter run — and this one had accumulated a season's worth of debris along every section. The shallow-pitch roof and low-hanging canopy typical of mature neighborhoods in this part of the northwest suburbs creates exactly the conditions where leaves and seed pods pack down and stay, turning gutters into a slow-draining trough by the time a homeowner notices the problem.
We cleared the gutters by hand and blower, working the full perimeter of the house and pulling out compacted material that had built up into solid blockages at the downspouts. The downspouts themselves needed focused attention — we flushed them through until flow ran clean and unobstructed at the base. Roof cleaning was included in the scope, so once the gutters were cleared we addressed the surface debris on the roof as well, leaving the drainage system in working order from top to outlet. The invoice was sent once the crew wrapped and confirmed everything was flowing correctly.

Common questions from Arlington Heights homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a single-story home in Arlington Heights, gutter cleaning typically runs between $100 and $175, depending on linear footage and how clogged the gutters are. This particular one-story house came in at $110, which included clearing a badly clogged downspout and a roof cleaning pass.
A single-story home usually takes one to two hours for a full gutter cleaning, though stubborn downspout blockages can add time to the job. On this project the clogged downspout required extra flushing before water flowed freely, but the crew still wrapped up efficiently.
The service covers clearing debris from all gutters, flushing and unclogging downspouts, and a visual check to confirm water is draining properly. This job also included a roof cleaning to clear loose debris before it washed back into the gutters, which is a smart add-on for homes surrounded by trees.
Most homes in the Arlington Heights area benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and again in late fall after the leaves have dropped. Homes under heavy tree cover, like many in the North Shore suburbs, may need a third cleaning to prevent the kind of downspout blockage we found on this job.
