Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Elmhurst on South Hawthorne Avenue. 2300 sq ft. Completed by our Clarendon Hills team.
— Clarendon Hills crew
Elmhurst keeps its street trees well into maturity, and by the time the season's leaf drop finishes, the gutters on a two-story house like this one can be carrying more debris than most homeowners realize. The 2,300-square-foot home was a standard cleaning call — no major damage, no deferred maintenance — just a full run of gutters due for a clear-out before the buildup had a chance to work its way into the downspouts any further than it already had.
The technician arrived at noon and moved through the exterior systematically, pulling compacted leaf debris and flushing the troughs as he went. A couple of the downspouts had clogged elbows that needed extra attention — worked loose by hand and cleared before they became a bigger problem. That kind of blockage is easy to miss from the ground but shows up quickly once you're running water through the system. The full job wrapped in an hour: gutters open, downspouts flowing, nothing left behind in the troughs.

Common questions from Elmhurst homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2,300 sq ft two-story house in Elmhurst, this job came in at $170, which is right in line with typical pricing for the area. Most single-family homes in the western suburbs run between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, story height, and how clogged things are.
A job like this one — a two-story home with clogged downspouts and blocked elbows — generally takes a crew two to three hours to complete properly. Heavily compacted debris and backed-up elbows add time compared to a straightforward cleanout.
The service covers flushing and hand-clearing all gutters, clearing clogged downspouts, and working through any blocked elbows that prevent water from draining freely. On this job, the clogged elbows were the main culprit holding water back, so clearing them was a key part of getting the system flowing again.
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 near mature trees or with a history of clogged downspouts, like this Elmhurst property, may need attention more frequently to prevent overflow and fascia damage.
