Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Libertyville on Furlong Drive. 2700 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Libertyville yards collect debris fast once the maples and oaks start dropping in earnest. By the time our technician arrived at eight in the morning, the gutters on this two-story house were fully clogged — not partially blocked in a spot or two, but choked through the entire run. At roughly 2,700 square feet of footprint, the home carries a fair amount of linear gutter, and none of it was moving water the way it should.
The work started at the downspouts and worked back. The clogged elbows were the main hold-up, packed tight enough that they had to be cleared before the rest of the debris could be flushed through. Once those were open, the technician moved section by section along the roofline, clearing compacted leaf and organic matter until flow was restored throughout. The whole job came in at one hour — efficient work on a house that had clearly gone a full season without a cleaning.

Common questions from Libertyville homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For this 2,700 sq ft two-story home in Libertyville, the job came in at $170, which is right in line with typical pricing for a house that size in the Chicago North Shore area. Most single- and two-story homes in the region run between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, roof pitch, and how clogged the gutters are. Heavily blocked downspout elbows, like the ones cleared here, can add a small amount to the total if they require extra labor.
A two-story home of roughly 2,700 sq ft typically takes one to two hours for a crew to flush and clear completely. If clogged elbows or packed downspouts need to be disassembled and cleared by hand, expect the job to run closer to the higher end of that range. We factor that time in upfront so there are no surprises on the day of service.
We clear all debris from the gutters themselves, flush the downspouts to confirm water flows freely, and hand-clear any clogged elbows that won't flush through — exactly what was needed on this Libertyville job. Debris is bagged or blown to the ground and cleaned up before we leave. We also do a quick visual check of hangers and seams while we're on the ladder.
For most two-story homes, twice a year is the standard recommendation — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and once in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes near heavy tree cover, like many properties in the Libertyville area, may need a third cleaning to prevent the kind of compacted elbow clogs we cleared on this job. Staying on a regular schedule keeps water moving away from your foundation and avoids costly repairs. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
