Gutter Cleaning at a 2-story house in Twin Lakes on Haerle Avenue. 2700 sq ft. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
Twin Lakes sits in a corner of Kenosha County where mature trees are the rule, not the exception, and by late season the gutters on a house this size can carry a serious load of debris. This two-story home, spanning roughly 2,700 square feet of footprint, was a straightforward gutter cleaning on paper — but the condition of the system told a different story once our technician got up and started working through it.
He arrived at eight in the morning and moved through the gutters methodically, and it became clear quickly that every downspout on the house was clogged. That's not unusual after a heavy leaf season, but it does slow the work: each elbow has to be cleared individually, flushed, and confirmed before moving on. He worked through them one by one, checking flow at each outlet before calling it done. The full job wrapped in an hour and a half — gutters cleared, downspouts running clean, and the system ready to handle whatever the next stretch of weather brought.

Common questions from Twin Lakes homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 2-story house around 2,700 sq ft in Twin Lakes, IL, this job came in at $175, which is right in line with the typical range of $150–$225 for similar homes in the area. Factors like story height, linear footage of gutters, and how clogged the downspouts are can push the price toward the higher end. Heavily neglected gutters with blocked elbows may add a bit to the total.
A 2-story home of this size generally takes a crew one to two hours under normal conditions. This particular job ran a bit longer because of clogged downspouts and blocked elbows that needed to be cleared individually. Once the obstructions were flushed out, the rest of the cleaning moved quickly.
The service covers removing all debris from the gutters, flushing the downspouts to confirm water flows freely, and clearing any clogged elbows that are blocking drainage. On this job, the clogged elbows were a specific focus — debris had packed into the bends and required hands-on clearing before the downspouts would drain properly. The gutters are left clean and flowing by the time the crew wraps up.
Most 2-story homes benefit from cleaning twice a year — once in late spring and once in late fall after the leaves have dropped. If there are overhanging trees nearby, quarterly cleanings can prevent the kind of packed downspout clogs we dealt with on this job. Staying on a regular schedule keeps debris from compacting in the elbows and causing water to back up against the fascia. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
