Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Palatine on East Fairfax Avenue. 2816 sq ft. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
— Arlington Heights crew
Leaf buildup had gotten ahead of this two-story Palatine home by the time we arrived. The back of the house had taken the worst of it — gutters packed with wet, matted debris that had been accumulating through the season. At roughly 2,800 square feet of footprint, there was a full perimeter of trough to work through, and it was clear from the start this wasn't a light pass.
We started at noon and moved systematically around the roofline, clearing the heaviest concentration at the rear first. The downspouts were the main complication — several had clogged elbows that needed to be broken loose before water could move through freely again. We worked each one until flow was restored, then finished the remaining runs along the front and sides. By the time we left, every section was cleared and draining properly, with the debris hauled down and off the property.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house in Palatine, this job came in at $175, which is typical for homes in the 2,500–3,000 sq ft range. Most single-family homes in the Chicago northwest suburbs run between $150 and $250 depending on linear footage, story count, and how badly the gutters are clogged.
A 2,800 sq ft two-story home like this one generally takes a crew one to two hours under normal conditions. This job ran a bit longer because of clogged downspout elbows that needed to be cleared manually, but the work was still wrapped up in a single visit.
The service covers flushing and clearing all gutter channels, clearing debris from downspouts, and working through any clogged elbows that are blocking flow — exactly what was needed on this Palatine job. We check that water moves freely through the full system before we leave, so you're not left with a hidden blockage heading into the next rain.
Our gutter cleaning service focuses on getting the system flowing correctly — clearing debris, flushing downspouts, and clearing clogged elbows like we did on this job. If we spot damage such as separated seams or sagging sections during the cleaning, we'll flag it for you so you can decide on next steps.
