Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Palatine on South Clyde Court. 3120 sq ft. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
— Arlington Heights crew
A two-story house in Palatine with a 3,120-square-foot footprint collects a season's worth of debris in a hurry — leaf matter, helicopter seeds, and compacted organic buildup that works its way down into the drainage system before most homeowners realize there's a problem. By the time our crew arrived at eight in the morning, the gutters had clearly been holding material long enough for the downspouts to back up at the elbows.
We started on the downspouts first, since clogged elbows will undermine everything else if left until the end. The blockages were stubborn — packed debris that had settled and compressed — but we worked through each one methodically until flow was restored. From there the crew moved along the roofline, clearing the gutter runs of accumulated buildup and flushing the system to confirm everything was draining clean before stepping down. The work moved steadily through the morning, and the invoice went out once the job was wrapped.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house in Palatine, this job came in at $225, which is typical for homes in this size range. Most single-family homes in the Chicago suburbs run between $150 and $300 depending on linear footage, story height, and how clogged the gutters and downspouts are.
A job like this one — roughly 3,120 sq ft with clogged downspouts and elbows — generally takes a crew two to three hours to complete properly. Heavily blocked downspouts and packed elbow joints add time because they require hands-on clearing rather than a quick flush.
The work covers removing all debris from the gutters, flushing the downspouts, and clearing clogged elbows so water flows freely from roof to ground. On this project we also worked through blocked downspout sections that had built up enough debris to restrict drainage entirely.
Our gutter cleaning service focuses on clearing debris, flushing downspouts, and freeing clogged elbows — we don't perform structural repairs like resealing seams or replacing sections. If we spot damage while we're on the job, we'll point it out so you can decide on next steps. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
