Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Glencoe on Maple Hill Road. 2500 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Glencoe sits close enough to the lake that the tree canopy stays dense and the gutters fill fast — oak debris, maple seeds, and the general accumulation that a North Shore autumn drops in waves. This two-story home, running about 2,500 square feet of footprint, had gutter guards installed, which changes the nature of the work but doesn't eliminate it. Guards slow the intake of large debris, but fine material — shingle grit, decomposed leaf matter, seed husks — works its way through or accumulates on top of the guard surface itself and eventually restricts flow just the same.
Our crew addressed the full perimeter, lifting and clearing the guard sections as needed to get at what had built up underneath and along the troughs. On a two-story house this size, that means working methodically around each elevation, checking downspout flow at every drop point, and not moving on until water moves freely from the roofline to grade. The guards were reset in place once each section was cleared. Invoice was sent once the job was complete.

Common questions from Glencoe homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
This 2-story, 2,500 sq ft home in Glencoe came in at $200, which is right in line with typical pricing for similarly sized houses in the area. Most single-family homes on the North Shore run between $150 and $300 depending on linear footage, story count, and whether gutter guards are present.
For a 2-story home around 2,500 sq ft, a crew typically wraps up in one to two hours. Gutter guards can add a bit of time since they need to be removed, cleaned around, and reinstalled properly before the job is done.
We remove the gutter guards, clear out all debris from the gutters and downspouts, flush the system to confirm water flows freely, and reinstall the guards when finished. The goal is a fully functioning system, not just a surface-level cleanout.
Gutter guards reduce how much debris gets in, but they don't eliminate buildup entirely — fine particles, shingle grit, and seeds still accumulate over time. We generally recommend inspecting and cleaning guarded gutters at least once a year, or twice if you have heavy tree coverage nearby. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
