Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Kenilworth on Roger Avenue. 2800 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Kenilworth's tree canopy runs deep, and by the time the gutters on this two-story house needed attention, the buildup had done its work — debris packed into the troughs and, more critically, lodged in the upper sections of the downspouts where it doesn't always announce itself until water starts going the wrong direction. The home covers a 2,800-square-foot footprint, enough linear gutter run to make clogged elbows a real problem if left through another rain cycle.
Our technician was on site at eight in the morning and moved through the cleaning systematically, clearing the troughs before turning attention to the downspouts. The blockages were seated high up — not at ground-level elbows but above, where they take more time to free without forcing debris deeper into the pipe. Getting those cleared properly added about an hour to the work, but it was the right call. Rushing a clogged upper elbow usually just relocates the problem. Everything was flowing clean by the time the job wrapped.

Common questions from Kenilworth homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
This 2,800 sq ft two-story home in Kenilworth came in at $200, which is right in line with typical pricing for similarly sized houses in the area. Most single-family homes on the North Shore run between $150 and $300 depending on linear footage, roof height, and how clogged the gutters and downspout elbows are.
A two-story home of this size generally takes one to two hours with a trained crew on-site. If clogged elbows need to be cleared — as they did on this job — add a bit of extra time to properly flush and confirm flow is restored through every downspout.
The work covers removing all debris from the gutter troughs, clearing any clogged downspout elbows, and checking that water flows freely from roof to ground. On this project that meant hands-on attention to blocked elbows, not just a surface-level scoop-and-go.
Most two-story homes with mature trees nearby need cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen drop, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. Skipping cleanings lets debris compact and clog elbows like the ones we cleared on this Kenilworth house, which can lead to water backing up under the roofline or overflowing against the foundation.
