Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Highland Park on Pleasant Avenue. 2500 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Highland Park gutters take a beating through the fall. The tree canopy that makes this part of the North Shore feel tucked away from everything also means the troughs collect layer after layer of leaf debris, seed casings, and compacted grit by the time the season turns. This two-story house, sitting on a footprint of roughly 2,500 square feet, had reached the point where the gutters needed a proper clear-out before winter freeze cycles could do any real damage.
Our crew worked the roofline systematically, moving section by section around the full perimeter of the house. On a two-story, that means working carefully and methodically — debris cleared from the troughs, downspouts checked and flushed to confirm flow was moving through clean. A 2,500-square-foot footprint carries a meaningful run of gutter, and we made sure every stretch was addressed before calling it done. Invoice went out once the job was wrapped.

Common questions from Highland Park homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 2,500 sq ft in Highland Park, gutter cleaning typically runs $150–$200, and this project came in at $170. Pricing depends on linear footage of gutters, roof pitch, and how much debris has built up since the last cleaning.
A 2,500 sq ft two-story home like this one generally takes a crew about 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete. Heavier debris loads or hard-to-access rooflines can add some time, but most single-visit cleanings wrap up in a half-day or less.
We clear out all debris from the gutters and flush the downspouts to confirm water is moving through freely. On this job that meant removing compacted leaves and buildup from all runs on the home, then checking that each downspout discharged properly at ground level.
Most homes in the Chicago area benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and once in late fall after the leaves have dropped. Homes with overhanging trees may need a third visit to prevent clogs that can cause water damage to fascia and foundations. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
