Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Deerfield on Heather Road. 3000 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Surrounded by mature trees on all sides, this two-story Deerfield home had the kind of gutter situation that builds quietly through a full season of leaf drop and seed casings. At roughly 3,000 square feet of footprint, the house sits in the sort of canopied setting common to the older residential neighborhoods between Highland Park and Bannockburn — shade in summer, but a serious accumulation problem by the time fall finishes its work. The gutters had guards installed, which helps year to year, but enough organic debris had found its way in and on top of them to warrant a thorough cleaning and a roof clean as part of the same visit.
We worked the roofline first, clearing surface debris before moving to the gutters themselves. The guards required careful attention — material had packed against and beneath them in spots, which takes more time than an open gutter run. By the end of the job we had pulled three full bags of debris off the house: leaves, seed pods, and the compacted granular buildup that accumulates under a heavy tree canopy. The roof was cleared in the same pass, leaving the drainage system clean and unobstructed heading into the next stretch of weather. Invoice went out once the crew wrapped and cleared the property.

Common questions from Deerfield homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 3,000 sq ft two-story house in Deerfield, this job came in at $200, which is right in line with typical pricing for the area. Most single-family homes in the Chicago North Shore suburbs run between $150 and $300 depending on linear footage, story height, and how clogged the gutters are.
A job this size — a 3,000 sq ft two-story with gutter guards and roof cleaning included — generally takes a crew two to three hours on site. This particular house produced three full bags of debris, so the volume of buildup can add time compared to a lightly clogged system.
On this job we cleared the gutters themselves, cleaned and reseated the gutter guards, and did a roof cleaning to clear off debris that would otherwise wash back in. Downspouts are flushed to confirm they're draining freely, and all collected debris — three bags' worth here — is bagged and removed from the property.
Most two-story homes benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and once in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes with gutter guards still need periodic attention because fine debris, shingle grit, and seedlings work through the guards over time, as was the case on this Deerfield house.
