Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Deerfield on We Go Trail. 1800 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Deerfield's tree canopy drops a heavy load by the time autumn settles in, and the gutters on this two-story house were carrying the full weight of it. The troughs were packed with leaves from top to bottom — the kind of buildup that happens when a season's worth of debris has nowhere to go and just keeps compressing. At roughly 1,800 square feet of footprint, the home wasn't oversized, but full gutters on a two-story require working carefully around the roofline and making sure every run drains the way it's supposed to.
Our technician arrived at 12:30 and worked through the entire system methodically — clearing the troughs, then addressing the clogged elbows that had backed things up at the downspout transitions. Those blockages are easy to miss but matter most; a clean trough that can't drain is only half the job. The debris came out in volume, the elbows were cleared and flowing, and the full clean was wrapped in an hour and a half. Straightforward work done to completion.

Common questions from Deerfield homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For this 1,800 sq ft two-story house in Deerfield, the job came out to $170, which is typical for a home that size. Most single-family homes in the Chicago North Shore area run between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, story height, and how clogged the gutters are.
A two-story home of this size generally takes a crew one to two hours to complete. When clogged elbows are involved, as they were here, clearing the downspout blockages adds a bit of time but is handled as part of the same visit.
The service covers flushing and clearing all gutter runs, removing debris by hand or blower, and checking that water flows freely through the downspouts. On this job we also cleared clogged elbows, which is a common issue on two-story homes where debris compacts at the bends and causes overflow.
Most two-story homes in the Chicago suburbs 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 near heavy tree cover, like many in Deerfield, may need an extra visit if gutters are showing signs of overflow between scheduled cleanings.
