Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Grayslake on Highland Road. 3127 sq ft. Completed by our Round Lake team.
Grayslake sits in that stretch of Lake County where mature trees are dense enough to turn a fall gutter into a real problem by November. This two-story house, just over 3,100 square feet of footprint, had reached that point — gutters loaded with debris and at least a few downspouts that had stopped moving water the way they should.
We arrived at eight in the morning and worked through the full roofline, clearing gutters on both levels. The clogged downspouts were the day's main obstacle — packed at the elbows, not moving. We flushed each one out until flow was confirmed all the way through, checking that nothing was holding back at the bends before moving on. By the time we finished the last section, every run was draining clean. Invoice was sent once we were off the property.

Common questions from Grayslake homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For this 3,127 sq ft two-story house in Grayslake, the job came out to $170, which is right in line with typical pricing for homes of this size in the area. Most single- and two-story homes in the Chicago suburbs run between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, roof pitch, and how clogged the gutters are. Heavily blocked downspouts or clogged elbows can add a bit to the total since they require extra time to clear.
A two-story home in the 3,000 sq ft range typically takes one to two hours with a crew on-site. This particular job ran a little longer because the downspouts had clogged elbows that needed to be worked through individually. Straightforward cleans with no blockages move faster, but it's smart to budget extra time if the gutters haven't been serviced in a while.
The service covers clearing all debris from the gutters themselves, flushing the downspouts to confirm they're flowing freely, and clearing any clogged elbows where blockages tend to hide. On this job, the downspouts had significant buildup that required hands-on clearing before water could pass through properly. Everything gets checked from ground level after flushing to confirm drainage is working as it should.
Most two-story homes do well with two cleanings per year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and once in late fall after the leaves are down. If there are overhanging trees close to the roofline, as was the case here with the debris load causing clogged downspouts, leaning toward twice a year keeps blockages from building up and putting stress on the system. Skipping a season is usually what leads to the backed-up elbows and overflow damage we see on service calls. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
