Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Evanston on Drake Avenue. 3264 sq ft. Completed by our Chicago team.
Evanston's mature tree canopy is hard on gutters. By the time we arrived at this two-story house in the early afternoon, the gutters had taken on a full season's worth of debris — compacted leaf matter, seed pods, and sediment that had nowhere to go. The home's footprint runs to 3,264 square feet, and every linear foot of trough showed it. This was not a case of light buildup between routine cleanings; it was one of the heavier accumulations our crew has encountered.
We started at noon and worked through the gutters methodically, clearing material that had packed into a solid mass in several sections. Three full bags came off the roof before the troughs were open again. The downspouts were completely blocked and had to be flushed and cleared by hand — one of them had also pulled away from the fascia, so we reattached it before we left. The roof surface was cleaned as well. Two and a half hours from start to finish, gutters draining clean, downspout secured back in place.

Common questions from Evanston homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 3,264 sq ft two-story house in Evanston, this job came in at $225, which is typical for a home that size in the Chicago area. Most single-family homes in the region run between $150 and $300 depending on square footage, story height, and how backed up the gutters are. Heavy debris loads or clogged downspouts, like we found on this job, don't automatically push the price up dramatically.
A two-story home in the 3,000 sq ft range generally takes a crew two to three hours from start to finish. This particular job ran a bit longer because the downspouts were clogged and we pulled three full bags of debris off the roof and out of the gutters. Roof cleaning was also included, which adds time but ensures debris isn't just going to wash back into the gutters after the first rain.
On this job the scope covered full gutter cleaning, roof cleaning to clear the source debris, and gutter repairs to address any sections that needed attention after the cleanout. Downspouts are flushed and cleared as part of every cleaning — on this house they were fully clogged and needed extra work to restore proper flow. All debris is bagged and removed from the property, not just blown into the yard.
We handle both — cleaning and repairs are offered together so issues get caught and fixed in a single visit rather than requiring a separate call. On this Evanston house, repairs were part of the service alongside the cleaning and roof work, which is common on older two-story homes where gutters take more wear.
