Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Cary on Chelsea Lane. Completed by our Barrington team.
Cary sits in that stretch of McHenry County where mature oaks and maples line nearly every block, and by late season the gutters on a two-story house can be packed tight enough to stop drainage entirely. That's the situation we found here — a standard residential home carrying a full load of decomposed leaf matter and seed debris that had built up through the fall.
We worked the roofline systematically, clearing each run by hand and flushing downspouts to confirm flow before moving on. On a two-story, that means careful ladder placement at every shift, checking that water moves freely through each outlet before the work is called done. Once every section was cleared and draining, we walked the ground perimeter to verify nothing had been missed. The customer received their invoice once the crew was off the property.

Common questions from Cary homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For this two-story home in Cary, IL, the job came in at $200, which is typical for a standard single-family house of that size. In the greater Chicago area, gutter cleaning on a two-story property generally runs between $150 and $300 depending on linear footage and debris load.
A two-story home like this one usually takes a crew between one and two hours to clean thoroughly. Heavier debris buildup from trees or a neglected season can push that closer to three hours, but most jobs wrap up in a single visit.
On a job like this, we clear all debris from the gutters themselves — leaves, seed pods, packed dirt — and flush the downspouts to confirm water is moving freely. We also do a quick visual check to flag any obvious sagging, separations, or drainage concerns while we're up there.
For most two-story homes in the Chicago suburbs, twice a year is the standard recommendation — once in late spring and once after the bulk of fall leaves have dropped. Homes with heavy tree coverage overhead may need a third cleaning to prevent blockages that can back water up under the roofline. For a quote, call our Barrington team at (847) 715-9493.
