Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Mundelein on Quigley Street. 2230 sq ft. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
Mundelein sits in a stretch of the North Shore where mature trees are the rule rather than the exception, and by the time a season turns, gutters on a two-story house can collect more debris than the homeowner expects. That was the situation we found when we arrived at this 2,230-square-foot home at ten in the morning — gutters loaded with organic buildup and downspouts that had stopped moving water the way they should.
We worked the roofline systematically, clearing the gutters by hand and flushing as we went. The downspouts were the main challenge: several were clogged solid, requiring extra attention to break the blockages free and restore flow through the elbows. Once each section was cleared, we confirmed water was running clean from top to bottom before moving on. By the time we finished the full perimeter, the system was draining the way it was designed to — gutters empty, downspouts open, no standing debris left behind.

Common questions from Mundelein homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 2,230 sq ft in Mundelein, this job came in at $170, which is right in line with typical pricing for the area. Most single-family homes in the Chicago North Shore suburbs run between $120 and $250 depending on linear footage, story count, and how clogged things are. Heavily blocked downspouts or clogged elbows can add a bit to the total since they take extra time to clear.
A 2-story home of this size generally takes one to two hours with a two-person crew under normal conditions. On this particular job, clogged downspouts and packed elbow joints added time since those have to be cleared by hand or with a snake before water can flow freely again. Expect the higher end of that range any time there's been heavy tree debris or the gutters haven't been cleaned in over a year.
The service covers scooping and removing all debris from the gutter troughs, flushing the system with water to confirm flow, and clearing any clogged downspouts from top to bottom. On this job we also cleared packed elbow joints, which are a common choke point on 2-story homes where downspouts change direction. Debris is bagged and removed so it doesn't just end up back on your lawn.
For most 2-story homes in the Chicago suburbs, 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. If you have overhanging trees or your downspouts clogged up like they did on this job, leaning toward three times a year keeps the system from backing up and pushing water against your fascia or foundation. Skipping cleanings is one of the most common reasons homeowners end up with water damage around the roofline. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
