What it costs around here

Across the Chicago suburbs, most gutter cleanings land between about $100 and $230 (Angi). This Old House lists $120 to $225 for Park Ridge. Low promo prices usually cover the front only or a single story, so ask what's included.

What changes the price

  • One story or two. Two stories means a taller ladder and more time on it
  • How long the gutter runs are. A long ranch or a house with an addition has more feet to clean
  • How full they are. Gutters under big oaks or maples that haven't been cleaned in a year take longer
  • Clogged downspouts that need to be cleared from the ground or taken apart
  • A steep roof, or gutters over a deck, a fence or a glass roof that make the ladder hard to place

Included

  • Every gutter run cleaned by hand
  • Every downspout flushed and flow tested
  • Debris bagged and hauled away
  • Before and after photos by text

Not included

  • New or replacement gutters, which I refer to a gutter company
  • Anything above two stories or that needs scaffolding
  • Fascia or soffit rot repair, priced separately after I take a look

Ways to pay less

  • Book fall and spring together: −10% on both cleanings
  • Add holiday lights and roof photos on the same visit: $399+ for a single story
  • Wait until most leaves are down, usually November. One full cleaning beats two half ones
Questions

Gutter questions, plain answers.

How much does gutter cleaning cost in Park Ridge or Niles?

With me, $150-250 for a single-story house and $250-400 for two stories. Send a photo of the front of the house and you get the exact price in writing before I start.

How often should gutters be cleaned around here?

Twice a year for most houses: once the leaves are down in November, and again in spring. Houses under big trees often need a second fall cleaning.

Do I need to be home?

No, as long as I can get into the yard with the gate unlocked and pets inside. I text you before and after photos when I'm done.

What if they overflow after you clean them?

If gutters I cleaned overflow within 30 days, I come back and clean them again for free.
