Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Chicago on North Lieb Avenue. 1524 sq ft. Completed by our Chicago team.
A mature spruce standing directly over a two-story Chicago house will fill gutters faster than almost anything else — the small cones pack into channels and elbows in a way that leaf debris simply doesn't. That's what we found when we arrived at this 1,524-square-foot home, the gutters loaded with compacted spruce cones that had been accumulating through the season.
We worked the roofline systematically, clearing the channels by hand and flushing as we went. The cones had migrated into the downspout elbows and packed tight enough to block flow entirely, so each elbow had to be cleared individually before the downspouts would run. Once the obstructions were out, water moved freely through the full system. The job was completed and the invoice sent to the customer the same day.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story home around 1,500 square feet in Chicago, gutter cleaning typically runs between $150 and $250 depending on the linear footage and condition of the gutters. This particular job came in at $170, which included clearing clogged downspouts and flushing out packed elbow joints. Homes with heavy tree cover or badly blocked downspouts may land toward the higher end of that range.
A 2-story house of this size generally takes one to two hours for a two-person crew under normal conditions. When clogged elbows and backed-up downspouts are involved, as they were on this job, plan for closer to two hours so the team can fully clear the blockages and confirm water is flowing freely before wrapping up.
The service covers scooping debris from all gutter runs, clearing clogged downspout elbows, and flushing the system to confirm proper drainage. On this job that meant working through compacted blockages in the elbows in addition to the standard gutter clearing — everything gets checked so water moves from the roof edge all the way to the ground without backing up.
Our gutter cleaning service focuses on clearing debris, unclogging downspouts, and flushing the system — we don't perform structural repairs like resealing seams or replacing sections during a cleaning visit. If we spot damage while we're on the job, we'll flag it so you know what needs attention before the next rain season. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
