Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Northbrook on Church Street. 3200 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Northbrook yards shed hard in autumn, and this two-story house on a 3,200-square-foot footprint showed it. The gutters were carrying a full season's worth of leaves — packed in solid enough that water had nowhere to go. The downspouts had backed up as well, a common outcome when the canopy is dense and the fall haul goes unattended until it compounds.
We were on site at eight in the morning and worked the roofline systematically, clearing the gutter troughs of the leaf buildup before turning attention to the downspouts. The clogged elbows took some focused work — flushing and clearing until flow ran clean and unobstructed from top to bottom. Once each section checked out, we moved to the next run. No standing debris, no blocked outlets by the time we wrapped.

Common questions from Northbrook homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 3,200 sq ft two-story house in Northbrook, this job came in at $170, which is typical for a home that size in the area. Generally, single-story homes run $100–$150, while two-story homes with more linear footage and harder-to-reach gutters tend to fall in the $150–$220 range. Factors like heavy debris buildup or clogged downspouts can affect the final price.
A two-story home of around 3,200 sq ft usually takes a crew one to two hours under normal conditions. This particular job ran a bit longer because of clogged downspouts and blocked elbows that needed to be cleared individually. Jobs with significant blockages always take more time than a straightforward flush-and-clear.
The service covers removing all debris from the gutters, flushing the downspouts to confirm water flows freely, and clearing any clogged elbows that are blocking drainage. On this job, that meant working through compacted blockages in the downspout elbows before the system drained properly. Everything is left functional and flowing before we pack up.
Most two-story homes in the Chicago suburbs benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. Homes near mature trees may need a third cleaning, especially if downspout clogs like the ones on this job are a recurring issue. Staying on a regular schedule prevents overflow damage to fascia boards and foundations. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
