Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Crystal Lake on Cambridge Lane. 1500 sq ft. Completed by our Barrington team.
— Barrington crew
Crystal Lake sits in McHenry County's tree-heavy corridor, and by late season the gutters on homes like this two-story on the west side of town are carrying a full load — compacted leaf debris, seed casings, and the kind of granule buildup that shingles shed quietly all summer. The house runs about 1,500 square feet at the footprint, modest in scale but enough roof surface to collect real volume in the valleys and along the lower fascia runs.
Our crew cleared the gutters top to bottom, pulling the packed material by hand and flushing the runs to confirm flow through the downspouts. The roof surface was cleaned as part of the same visit — moss, algae streaking, and loose debris addressed before they could work their way further into the drainage system. Working a two-story means repositioning carefully at each elevation change, but the footprint kept the total run manageable. The job was completed in a single visit, and the invoice went out the same day.
Crew on this job
Timothy
Timothy may be our youngest technician, but don’t let that fool you. He’s experienced, professional, courteous, and already knows his way around the job like a seasoned pro. He’s also a promising DJ, so there’s a good chance he can fix the problem and recommend a solid playlist while he’s at it. Everyone loves Timothy because he’s easy to talk to, always upbeat, and genuinely enjoys meeting people. He also has a strange love for Wisconsin, which we still haven’t fully figured out - but nobody’s perfect.

Common questions from Crystal Lake homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 1,500 sq ft in Crystal Lake, IL, this project ran $170, which is right in line with typical pricing for the area. Most single-family homes in the Chicago suburbs fall between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, story count, and how clogged the gutters are. Roof cleaning added to the same visit can keep the overall cost lower than scheduling two separate trips.
A 2-story home of this size typically takes one to two hours when gutters are moderately clogged. When roof cleaning is included in the same visit, plan for closer to two to three hours total. Having a crew handle both services back-to-back keeps the job efficient and avoids debris from the roof washing back into freshly cleaned gutters.
On this job we cleared debris from all gutters and downspouts and confirmed water was flowing freely before wrapping up. Roof cleaning was also performed, removing built-up moss, algae, and organic debris that would otherwise wash down into the gutters with the next rain. Doing both together means the gutters stay cleaner longer after the visit.
Most 2-story homes benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after tree seeds and pollen settle, and once in late fall after the leaves have dropped. Homes surrounded by heavy tree cover may need a third cleaning mid-summer to prevent mid-season clogs and overflow damage to fascia and foundations.
