Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Palatine on Wren Avenue. 2500 sq ft. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
— Arlington Heights crew
Palatine sits in a part of the northwest suburbs where mature oaks and maples line most of the residential streets, and by late season those trees deposit a serious volume of leaf matter into gutters on any two-story house. This 2,500-square-foot home was no exception — the kind of property where the roofline catches debris from multiple directions and the gutters can pack tight before a homeowner realizes the drainage has slowed.
Our crew worked the full perimeter, clearing compacted leaves and sediment from the gutter runs and flushing the downspouts to confirm they were running clear. On a two-story, that means moving the ladder methodically around the house, section by section, rather than rushing any one stretch. The work was straightforward but thorough — no point clearing a channel halfway. Once everything was flushed and the flow checked, we cleaned up the ground-level debris the job had displaced and closed out the visit with an invoice sent directly to the customer.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 2,500 sq ft in Palatine, gutter cleaning typically runs $120–$180, and this project came in at $140. Pricing depends on linear footage of gutters, roof pitch, and how much debris has built up since the last cleaning.
A standard gutter cleaning on a 2-story home this size generally takes one to two hours with a trained crew. The extra height adds some setup time compared to a single-story, but it doesn't dramatically change the overall job duration.
We clear out all debris—leaves, twigs, shingle grit, and compacted buildup—from the gutters and flush the downspouts to confirm water is flowing freely. On a job like this one, we also do a quick visual check to flag any obvious sagging sections or joint separations the homeowner should know about.
Most 2-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 drop. Homes near mature trees may need a third visit to avoid blockages that can back water up under the roofline. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
