Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Oakwood Hills on Fawn Ridge Drive. 2530 sq ft. Completed by our Barrington team.
— Barrington crew
Oakwood Hills sits in the lake country west of Barrington, where mature trees line most streets and gutters earn their keep through every season. By the time we arrived at this two-story house at 8:30 in the morning, the gutters had collected enough debris to back things up well past the troughs themselves — the downspouts had plugged, and standing water had nowhere to go.
We worked the roofline systematically, clearing the gutters of accumulated debris before turning attention to the downspouts. A few of the elbows had clogged solid, which took some focused effort to clear — flushing and working through the blockage until flow ran free top to bottom. On a house with 2,530 square feet of footprint, there's a fair amount of linear gutter to cover, and we moved through it methodically until every section drained clean. By the time we packed up, water was moving through the system the way it was designed to.

Common questions from Oakwood Hills homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 2,500 sq ft in Oakwood Hills, expect to pay in the $150–$200 range. This particular job came in at $170, which included clearing clogged downspouts and cleaning out packed elbow sections. Pricing across the Chicago northwest suburbs generally scales with home size, story count, and how backed-up the gutters are.
A standard 2-story home in the 2,500 sq ft range typically takes one to two hours with a two-person crew. This job ran a bit longer because of clogged elbows that needed to be cleared by hand before the downspouts would flow freely. Heavily neglected gutters or homes with complex rooflines can add time.
The service covers removing all debris from the gutter troughs, flushing the downspouts to confirm water moves through freely, and clearing any clogged elbows or bends in the drainage path. On this job we also hand-cleared a packed elbow joint that was causing a full blockage before the downspout could drain properly. Everything gets checked from ground level at the end to confirm flow.
Most 2-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 are down. Homes near heavy tree cover, like many properties in the Oakwood Hills area, may need a third cleaning mid-season to prevent the kind of compacted clogs and blocked downspouts we encountered on this job. Skipping cleanings lets debris pack into elbows and downspouts, which can back water up against the fascia and foundation. For a quote, call our Barrington team at (847) 715-9493.
