Gutter Cleaning at a 1-story house in Chicago on North McVicker Avenue. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Granular debris from aging shingles had packed the gutters on this one-story Chicago home, leaving channels that were more gravel bed than drainage path by the time we arrived. This part of the city, with its dense block after block of bungalows and ranches, sees roofs work hard through freeze-thaw cycles, and when asphalt shingles start shedding their stone coating, that grit migrates straight into the gutters with every rainfall.
We cleared the buildup by hand and by scoop, working methodically around the roofline. The volume of shingle stones was notable — more than a typical seasonal leaf flush — so we took care to check that the downspout entries were fully open before moving on. Once the channels were clear, we flushed them through to confirm flow. Everything ran clean. Invoice was sent to the customer the same day the work was completed.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a single-story home in Chicago, 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 $120, which is right in the middle of that range for a straightforward cleaning job.
A single-story home generally takes one to two hours from start to finish. The lower roofline makes access faster, so the crew can move efficiently along the full perimeter without significant setup time.
We clear out all debris — leaves, twigs, compacted buildup — from the gutters and flush the downspouts to confirm water flows through freely. If we spot any obvious blockages or drainage issues during the cleaning, we flag them for the homeowner before wrapping up.
Most homes in the Chicago 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 with heavy tree coverage overhead may need a third cleaning to prevent mid-season clogs. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
