Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Mettawa on North Farwell Road. 6500 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Mettawa sits in a quiet corridor between Libertyville and Lake Forest where mature tree cover is the norm and gutters pay the price every fall. A two-story house with a footprint of roughly 6,500 square feet generates a lot of gutter linear footage, and by the time we arrived the troughs had accumulated the kind of compacted leaf debris and organic buildup that collects through a full season under a heavy canopy. The scale of the property meant this was never going to be a quick stop.
We worked our way around the roofline systematically, clearing the gutters and flushing the downspouts to confirm flow through each one. Where buildup had matted and dried against the gutter floor, we used a sponge to work it loose rather than risk leaving a residue layer behind. The two-story height added time at each ladder position, but the crew kept a steady pace and covered the full perimeter without cutting corners. Once the debris was out and drainage confirmed, we closed out the job and sent the invoice.

Common questions from Mettawa homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 6,500 sq ft two-story house in Mettawa, this job came in at $320, which is typical for a property of that size in the North Shore area. Generally, gutter cleaning on larger two-story homes in the Chicago suburbs runs between $200 and $400 depending on linear footage, roof pitch, and debris load.
A 6,500 sq ft two-story home usually takes a crew two to three hours to clean thoroughly, accounting for the added height and total gutter run on a property that size. Heavier debris buildup from trees or a previous missed season can add time.
We clear all debris from the gutters and flush the downspouts to confirm water is moving through freely. On this Mettawa job, that meant a full clean of all gutters on the home, with debris removed from the property rather than left on the ground below.
Most two-story homes 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 surrounded by mature trees, like many in the Mettawa area, often need that second fall cleaning more urgently to prevent overflow and fascia damage.
