Gutter Cleaning at a 1-story house in McHenry on Lauderdale Court. Completed by our Round Lake team.
McHenry sits far enough inland that the gutters collect a different kind of debris than the lake-adjacent towns to the southeast — shingle grit, compacted leaf mat, and the slow-rotting seed pods that mature tree canopies drop across several seasons. This one-story house came to us needing a full gutter cleaning, the kind of maintenance that doesn't show from the street but matters when the next heavy rain arrives.
Our crew worked the perimeter of the roofline methodically, clearing the troughs by hand and flushing the downspouts to confirm flow. On a single-story, the access is straightforward, which lets the work move at a clean pace — section by section, no debris left to settle back in. Once each run was clear and draining, we did a final walk to make sure nothing was packed at the elbows. Invoice went out when the job was done.

Common questions from McHenry homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a single-story house in McHenry, IL, gutter cleaning typically runs between $150 and $250 depending on linear footage and debris load. This particular one-story home came in at $200, which is right in the middle of that range for a straightforward residential job in the area.
A standard one-story home usually takes one to two hours from start to finish. That includes clearing debris from the gutters and flushing the downspouts to confirm water is moving through freely.
We remove all built-up leaves, shingle grit, and debris from the gutter channels, then flush the downspouts to make sure there are no blockages. After the cleaning, gutters are left clear and flowing so water drains away from the roofline and foundation the way it should.
Most homes in the Chicago area benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and again in late fall after the leaves have dropped. Homes near heavy tree cover may need a third cleaning to prevent mid-season clogs and overflow damage. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
