Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Schaumburg on Janine Lane. 1350 sq ft. Completed by our Bloomingdale team.
— Bloomingdale crew
Schaumburg split-levels sit low to the ground in front and open up to a full second story in the rear, which means the gutters span two distinct roof planes and collect debris at different rates. This one had gone untouched for roughly ten years, long enough for the buildup to pack down and compact into something closer to soil than leaf litter. Gutter guards had been installed at some point — screwed down at every section — which likely gave the homeowner confidence that the gutters were managing themselves. They weren't.
Our technician started by removing the guards, which meant backing out screws at every single bracket before any actual cleaning could begin. With a decade of material underneath, that process couldn't be rushed. Once the guards were off, the gutters themselves were cleared of the compacted debris, and the downspouts got particular attention — they were clogged and needed to be opened fully before water could move through the system the way it should. The guards were reinstalled, screws back in place, and the roof edges and ground were left clean. Invoice was sent once the technician cleared the property.

Common questions from Schaumburg homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house in Schaumburg, gutter cleaning typically runs between $150 and $250, depending on linear footage, story height, and condition of the gutters. This 1,350 sq ft home came in at $200, which is right in the middle of that range and included clearing clogged downspouts and cleaning the gutter guards.
A standard 2-story home of this size usually takes a crew between 1.5 and 3 hours to complete. Jobs with clogged downspouts like this one can add time, since the blockages have to be flushed and cleared before water flow can be confirmed.
The service covers removing debris from the gutters themselves, clearing any downspout blockages, and cleaning the gutter guards so water can pass through freely. On this job, the guards were lifted, cleaned underneath, and reset — gutter guards don't eliminate maintenance, they just change what accumulates and where.
Most 2-story homes need gutter cleaning twice a year — once in late spring and once after the leaves finish falling in autumn. Homes with gutter guards still need at least an annual check, since debris can collect on top of or inside the guards and cause the same overflow problems you'd get without them.
