Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Highland Park on Magnolia Lane. 3200 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Highland Park gutters fill fast in the fall. The neighborhood's mature canopy — oak, maple, the occasional silver birch — drops steadily from October through December, and a 3,200-square-foot two-story holds a lot of linear footage for debris to settle into. By the time we arrived, the gutters had taken on a full season's worth of leaf pack and the kind of compacted seed and shingle grit that builds up quietly until water has nowhere to go.
We worked the perimeter methodically, clearing the troughs by hand and flushing the downspouts to confirm flow. On a home this size, the upper runs require care — debris tends to concentrate at the corners and at every downspout entry, so we cleared those points first before working the straight runs between them. Once everything was open and draining clean, we did a final check of each outlet at ground level. Invoice went out the same day the job closed.

Common questions from Highland Park homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 3,200 sq ft in Highland Park, expect to pay in the $180–$260 range, depending on gutter length and debris buildup. This particular job came in at $220, which is typical for a home of this size in the North Shore area.
A 2-story home in the 3,000–3,500 sq ft range generally takes our crew 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete. The time varies based on how clogged the gutters are and how much downspout flushing is needed.
We clear out all debris—leaves, seed pods, shingle grit—from the gutters and flush the downspouts to confirm water is flowing freely. On a job like this one, we also do a quick visual check to flag any sagging sections or joints that may need attention.
Most 2-story homes in the Highland Park area benefit from cleaning twice a year—once in late spring and once after the leaves have fully dropped in fall. Homes near mature trees may need a third visit to prevent mid-season clogs from backing water up under the roofline. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
