Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Rosemont on Ruby Street. 1700 sq ft. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Rosemont sits close enough to O'Hare's flight paths that the surrounding neighborhood trees still shed plenty — oak and maple debris collects in gutters fast on a two-story house like this one. The 1,700-square-foot home had standard-pitch gutters that had gone long enough between cleanings to pack up in the elbows, which is where most of the real blockage accumulates. Nothing unusual about the job, but a clogged elbow left uncleared backs water up under the fascia and causes the kind of damage that's expensive to fix later.
We arrived at ten and worked around the roofline systematically, scooping debris from the channels and flushing the downspouts to confirm flow. The clogged elbows got cleared by hand before the flush so we could verify each one was running clean rather than just pushing the blockage further down. Once the water moved freely through every section and the gutters were cleared of built-up material, we wrapped the job and sent the invoice. Straightforward work, done right.

Common questions from Rosemont homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 1,700 sq ft in Rosemont, this job came in at $170, which is right in line with the typical Chicago-area range of $150–$225 for a home that size. Pricing depends on linear footage of gutters, number of stories, and how clogged things are — heavily blocked elbows can add a bit to the total.
A standard 2-story home of this size generally takes one to two hours for a crew to flush and clear. When clogged elbows are involved, as they were on this job, techs need extra time to break up blockages and confirm water is flowing freely through the downspout system before wrapping up.
We clear debris from all gutter troughs, flush the system with water, and clear clogged elbows and downspout blockages — exactly what this Rosemont job required. After cleaning, we check that water drains away from the foundation properly and leave the gutters free of standing debris.
Most 2-story homes in the Chicago area benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring after seed and pollen season, and again in late fall after the leaves have dropped. Homes with overhanging trees or recurring elbow clogs, like this one, may need attention more frequently to prevent water from backing up and damaging fascia or foundations.
