Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Glenview on Maple Leaf Drive. 2626 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Glenview sees its share of mature tree canopy, and by the time late season rolls around, gutters on a two-story house like this one are carrying a full load of compacted leaf debris and seed clusters. The home spans roughly 2,600 square feet of footprint, which translates to a meaningful run of gutter on all sides, and the job called for a full cleaning along with roof cleaning as part of the scope.
Our crew arrived at noon and moved straight into the work. The gutter runs themselves were cleared of packed debris from the roof down, and the roof surface was cleaned as part of the same pass. A few of the downspouts had developed clogged elbows — the kind of blockage that looks fine from the ground but backs water up behind the fascia. We cleared each one through, confirmed flow was restored, and ran a check before wrapping up. Everything draining as it should by the time we left.

Common questions from Glenview homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house in Glenview, gutter cleaning typically runs $150–$250 depending on linear footage, story count, and condition. This 2,626 sq ft home came in at $180, which included clearing clogged elbows and a roof cleaning pass. Homes with heavy debris buildup or multiple clogged downspout elbows may land toward the higher end of that range.
A 2-story home of this size generally takes one to two hours with a two-person crew. When clogged elbows are involved, technicians have to disassemble and flush the downspout sections, which adds time compared to a straightforward flush-and-go job. Factor in the roof cleaning component and a full visit typically wraps up in under two hours.
On this job we cleared debris from all gutters, broke loose and flushed clogged elbows in the downspouts, and cleaned the roof surface to reduce the amount of material washing back into the gutters. Downspouts are tested to confirm water flows freely before we leave. Roof cleaning as an add-on is especially useful when moss or granule buildup is accelerating gutter clogging.
Most 2-story homes in the Chicago suburbs benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season and again in late fall after the leaves drop. Properties with overhanging trees or recurring clogged elbows, like this Glenview home, may need an extra mid-season check to prevent overflow and fascia damage. Staying on a consistent schedule is the best way to avoid the more costly repairs that come from backed-up water. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
