Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Northbrook on Lakeside Avenue. 3800 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
A two-story house in Northbrook with 3,800 square feet of footprint means a fair amount of linear gutter to manage, and by midsummer the troughs on a home this size tend to collect enough decomposed debris to start holding water against the fascia. That's what we found when we pulled up at noon — gutters that had been doing their job quietly until they couldn't anymore.
The technician worked through the system methodically, clearing packed material from the troughs and running each downspout to confirm flow. At least one elbow had gone fully blocked, trapping debris and backing pressure up the line; clearing it required working the clog out from both ends before water moved freely again. The whole house took an hour and a half from start to finish — gutters flushed, downspouts open, nothing left sitting in the channels that shouldn't be there.

Common questions from Northbrook homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 3,800 sq ft in Northbrook, this job came in at $250, which is typical for homes of that size in the area. Most single-family gutter cleanings in the Chicago North Shore suburbs run between $150 and $350 depending on linear footage, story height, and how clogged things are.
A 2-story home in the 3,500–4,000 sq ft range generally takes a crew 1.5 to 2.5 hours from start to finish. This particular job ran a bit longer because of clogged downspout elbows that needed to be cleared individually before water could flow freely.
The service covers flushing and hand-clearing all gutters, testing downspout flow, and clearing any clogged elbows or joints where debris tends to pack in. On this job that meant working through multiple blocked elbows to restore full drainage — everything is checked top to bottom before we leave.
Most 2-story homes with mature trees nearby need cleaning at least twice a year — once in late spring and again after the leaves fall in autumn. If downspouts are clogging between visits, a mid-season flush can prevent water from backing up behind fascia boards and causing rot. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
