Gutter Cleaning at a 1-story house in Evanston on Colfax Place. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Evanston's mature tree canopy does reliable work filling gutters by late fall, and this compact one-story on the north side of the city was no exception. Leaves had packed into the channels in the way they do under dense overhead cover — not catastrophic, but enough to matter before the weather turned harder. The house was small, the roofline low and straightforward.
Our crew moved through the job efficiently, clearing the gutters and flushing the downspouts without complication. The modest footprint of the house meant the whole thing wrapped in about twenty minutes — no wasted motion, nothing left to track down. Clean out, debris down, done. Invoice followed the same day.

Common questions from Evanston homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a single-story home in Evanston, gutter cleaning typically runs between $100 and $175, depending on linear footage and debris load. This particular one-story house came in at $120, which is right in the middle of that range for a straightforward cleaning job.
A single-story home generally takes one to two hours from setup to cleanup. Without roof height complications or heavy compacted debris, crews can move efficiently along the roofline and clear downspouts without significant delays.
The service covers removing all debris — leaves, twigs, seed pods, and buildup — from the gutter channels, followed by flushing the downspouts to confirm water flows freely. The gutters are left clear and functional, not just surface-skimmed.
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 leaves drop. Homes under heavy tree cover may need a third visit to prevent blockages from causing water damage to fascia and foundations. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
