Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Lincolnwood on North Kenton Avenue. 2001 sq ft. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Lincolnwood sits in a quiet corridor between the older neighborhoods of Skokie and Morton Grove, and the residential streets here tend to run under a dense canopy of mature trees. By late season that canopy pays its toll on gutters — compacted leaf debris, seed clusters, and the fine organic paste that settles in after several rain cycles. The two-story house we serviced, just over 2,000 square feet of footprint, had gutter guards installed, which a homeowner might reasonably expect to reduce the workload. They help, but they don't eliminate it.
Guards still allow fine debris to work its way through or accumulate on top, and at least one downspout on this house was fully clogged by the time we arrived. Our crew cleared the guards, flushed out the compacted material running the full perimeter, then addressed the blocked downspout — working it clear from the top and confirming flow at the bottom before moving on. With a two-story structure, ladder positioning and working safely at height paced the job more than the debris volume itself did. Once every section was flushed and draining properly, we ran a final check across all the outlets, confirmed the guards were seated back correctly, and closed out the invoice the same day.
Crew on this job
Timothy
Timothy may be our youngest technician, but don’t let that fool you. He’s experienced, professional, courteous, and already knows his way around the job like a seasoned pro. He’s also a promising DJ, so there’s a good chance he can fix the problem and recommend a solid playlist while he’s at it. Everyone loves Timothy because he’s easy to talk to, always upbeat, and genuinely enjoys meeting people. He also has a strange love for Wisconsin, which we still haven’t fully figured out - but nobody’s perfect.

Common questions from Lincolnwood homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house in Lincolnwood, this job came in at $170, which is typical for homes in that size range. Most single-family homes in the Chicago area run between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, number of stories, and whether gutter guards are present.
A 2-story home of around 2,000 square feet generally takes our crew 1.5 to 2.5 hours to clean thoroughly. On this particular job, clogged downspouts added some time since we had to clear the blockages before water could flow freely again.
On this job we cleared debris from all gutters, flushed and unclogged the downspouts, and cleaned the gutter guards so they could filter properly. In general, our service covers full debris removal, downspout flushing, and a basic flow check — we leave the system running the way it should.
Most 2-story homes should have their gutters cleaned at least twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall after the leaves drop. If your home has gutter guards like this one did, you can sometimes stretch to once a year, but guards still collect debris on top and inside over time and need periodic attention.
