Gutter Cleaning at a 1-story house in Winnetka on Thackeray Lane. 3000 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
Winnetka's mature tree canopy makes for good shade in summer and a reliable mess in the gutters come fall. This single-story home — roughly 3,000 square feet of footprint — had accumulated enough debris through the season that at least one downspout had backed up entirely, with the clog sitting in the middle elbow where it's easy to miss from the ground.
Our technician was on-site at eight in the morning and worked through the full gutter run, clearing leaf buildup as he went. When he reached the clogged downspout, he removed all the screws, pulled the section apart to get at the blockage in the middle, cleared it out, and reassembled everything. No shortcuts on the reassembly — every screw went back in place before he moved on. The job wrapped in an hour and a half, gutters draining clean and the downspout back in working order.

Common questions from Winnetka homeowners researching Gutter Cleaning.
This 3,000 sq ft single-story home in Winnetka came in at $170, which is right in line with typical pricing for a house that size. For most 1-story homes in the Chicago North Shore area, gutter cleaning generally runs between $120 and $200 depending on linear footage and how clogged things are.
A single-story home of around 3,000 sq ft typically takes one to two hours for a full cleaning. If there are clogged downspouts or packed elbows — as there were on this job — clearing those adds some time but is handled in the same visit.
The service covers clearing all debris from the gutters themselves, flushing the downspouts to confirm they're flowing freely, and clearing any clogged elbows that are blocking drainage. On this Winnetka job, the crew worked through multiple clogged downspouts and packed elbow sections to restore full flow throughout the system.
Gutter cleaning and gutter repair are separate services — the cleaning visit focuses on removing debris, clearing blockages, and getting water moving through the system properly. If our crew spots damage or loose sections while on the job, we'll flag it so you know what needs attention. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
