Gutter Cleaning at a 3-story house in Western Springs on Grand Avenue. 4000 sq ft. Completed by our Clarendon Hills team.
— Clarendon Hills crew
A three-story house in Western Springs with 4,000 square feet of roofline generates a serious volume of gutter run, and this one had gone uncleaned long enough that the system was barely functioning. Years of accumulated debris had packed every elbow and downspout — all twelve of them — solid. On top of that, granule loss from aging shingles had sent a steady stream of stone grit into the channels, mixing with decomposed leaf matter into a paste that compacted rather than flushed. A few gutter sections had deteriorated to the point of visible rot, a sign the blockage had been holding standing water through multiple seasons.
Our crew worked the full perimeter, clearing debris from the gutters and then addressing each of the twelve clogged elbows individually — every one of them needed to be broken open and cleared by hand before flow could be restored. Where elbows had pulled loose, we reattached them before moving on. The shingle granules required extra attention; they settle into the downspout joints and don't dislodge the way leaf debris does. By the time we finished, water was moving through the system cleanly from trough to ground. The customer received their invoice the same day.

Common questions from Western Springs homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
For a 3-story home around 4,000 sq ft in Western Springs, this job came in at $500, which included cleaning, clogged elbow repairs, and downspout clearing. In the broader Chicago western suburbs, gutter cleaning on a larger multi-story home typically runs $250–$600 depending on linear footage, story height, and how badly the gutters are blocked.
A job this size — a full 3-story, 4,000 sq ft home with clogged downspouts and elbow repairs — generally takes a crew most of a half-day to complete safely and thoroughly. Working at that height requires proper ladder staging and extra care clearing packed debris from the elbows before flushing the downspouts to confirm flow.
On this project, the scope covered full gutter cleaning along all rooflines, clearing clogged downspout elbows that were backing up drainage, and on-site gutter repairs where sections needed attention. We flush downspouts at the end to confirm water is moving freely — packed elbows like the ones found here are one of the most common reasons gutters overflow even after a basic cleaning.
When we spot issues during a cleaning — loose hangers, leaking seams, or clogged elbows like on this Western Springs job — we handle minor repairs on the same visit so you're not scheduling a second trip. More involved repairs are quoted separately, but the goal is always to leave the system fully functional before we pack up. For a quote, call our Clarendon Hills team at (708) 332-0096.
