Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Evanston on Poplar Avenue. 1885 sq ft. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Evanston's older residential streets tend to collect more than leaves. The mature tree canopy that makes the neighborhood feel settled also means gutters on a two-story house like this one take a steady beating through the fall — organic debris packing in, downspouts slowing down. The customer here had paired the gutter cleaning with a window cleaning visit, a practical call that let us handle both in a single trip rather than scheduling two separate days.
We worked through the gutters on the 1,885-square-foot footprint systematically, clearing the usual leaf and twig buildup along with a handful of baseball balls that had found their way up onto the roofline — the kind of detail that shows up in older neighborhoods with active yards nearby. The garage gutters got the same treatment, cleaned out fully before we moved on. Communication with the customer stayed easy throughout, and the invoice went out once the work was done and everything checked.

Common questions from Evanston homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 1,885 sq ft in Evanston, this job came in at $220, which is typical for that size and height. In the broader Chicago area, single-family home gutter cleaning generally runs between $150 and $300 depending on linear footage, story count, and how clogged the gutters are.
A 2-story home of roughly 1,800–2,000 sq ft usually takes a crew about 1.5 to 2.5 hours from start to finish. That includes clearing debris from the gutters, flushing the downspouts, and doing a quick check to confirm water is flowing freely.
We remove all debris—leaves, seed pods, shingle grit—from the gutters by hand and then flush the downspouts with water to clear any blockages. After the flush we confirm proper drainage and leave the work area tidy, with debris bagged or blown clear of the roofline.
Most homes in the Chicago area benefit from cleaning twice a year—once in late spring after tree seeds fall and again in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes surrounded by mature trees, like many in Evanston, may need a third cleaning mid-summer to prevent mid-season clogs. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
