Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Glenview on Executive Lane. 2200 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Glenview yards shed heavily through the fall, and this two-story house on a 2,200-square-foot footprint had the gutters to prove it. Every run was packed with leaves — not scattered debris but the kind of dense, compressed mat that builds up when a season's worth of drop goes unattended. The homeowner needed a full clearing before the next rain had nowhere to go.
Our technician was on site at nine in the morning and worked through the entire gutter system, section by section. Beyond scooping out the leaf load, a few clogged elbows needed hands-on attention to push through the blockage and restore flow. The combination of full troughs and those choked downspout elbows made it a deliberate job — close to two hours start to finish. By mid-morning the gutters were clear and draining the way they should.

Common questions from Glenview homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 2,200 sq ft in Glenview, IL, this job came in at $170, which is right in line with the typical Chicago-area range of $150–$250 for a home that size. Pricing shifts based on linear footage of gutters, story height, and whether clogged elbows or downspouts need extra attention. Homes with heavily compacted debris or multiple clogged elbows may run toward the higher end of that range.
A 2-story home in the 2,000–2,500 sq ft range typically takes a crew one to two hours from start to finish. If clogged elbows are involved, like they were on this job, clearing and flushing those adds some time but usually keeps the total under two hours. We leave gutters and downspouts flowing freely before we pack up.
We remove all debris from the gutters by hand and flush the system with water to confirm proper flow. On this project that included clearing clogged elbows in the downspouts, which is one of the most common causes of overflow damage on two-story homes. Every job wraps up with a quick inspection to flag any visible sagging, separation, or damage we spotted while we were up there.
Most 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 have dropped. Homes near large trees or with a history of clogged elbows, like this Glenview property, may need attention more frequently to prevent water from backing up against the fascia or foundation. Staying on a regular schedule is the most cost-effective way to avoid bigger repairs down the road. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
