Northbrook gutters,
cleared by hand
Northbrook's blocks of 1950s–70s ranches and split-levels sit under some of the oldest parkway oaks and maples in northern Cook County. Those trees are why gutters here fill up twice a year, and why the split-level roofs — where an upper gutter drains onto a lower roof — are where we find the worst clogs.
What Northbrook homeowners get
- Every run cleared by hand: upper and lower roofs on split-levels, plus the short runs over garages and porches that are easy to miss.
- Downspouts flushed to the ground: including the ones that empty onto a lower roof, so water doesn't pool against siding.
- Photos on your invoice: before-and-after shots of each side of the house, so you can see the work without climbing a ladder.
What clogs gutters
in Northbrook
Oaks along Shermer Rd and Waukegan Rd drop leaves late — often after Thanksgiving — so a single October cleaning rarely gets the whole season. Homes near the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River also pick up cottonwood fluff and maple seeds in late spring, which mats into a dense layer that blocks downspout openings.
Townhome and condo associations across Northbrook make up a big share of our Northbrook work. Long shared gutter runs are cleaned in one visit and invoiced per building if the board needs it that way.
Northbrook jobs we handle most
- Ranches with long, low gutter runs and heavy oak leaf load
- Split-levels where upper downspouts drain onto lower roofs
- Townhome and condo associations with multi-building runs

Planning gutter cleaning
around Northbrook's trees
Most Northbrook homes do best with two visits a year. Here is how we usually schedule them and what is included each time.
Good to know
- 01 Late spring visit: Clears maple seeds, oak catkins and cottonwood fluff before summer thunderstorms test the downspouts.
- 02 Late fall visit: Booked after the oaks drop, so the gutters go into winter empty. Empty gutters are less likely to back up into ice dams.
- 03 Flat-rate pricing: Your price comes from the table below, based on square footage and number of stories. It is confirmed before the crew starts.
- 04 Minor fixes on the spot: Loose hangers and leaking end caps we notice while cleaning are pointed out on the visit, and small repairs can be done while we are there.
- 05 Pair it with windows: Many Northbrook customers add window cleaning or power washing to the same visit.
Want both visits on the calendar? Ask for spring and fall dates when you book and we will hold them. Prices are listed below, or contact us for a free quote.

Gutter cleaning questions from Northbrook homeowners
How often should gutters be cleaned in Northbrook?
Twice a year for most homes: once in late spring and once in late fall after the oaks finish dropping. Homes with oaks directly over the roof, or near the river where cottonwoods grow, may need a third visit in early summer.
Do you clean gutters for Northbrook townhome and condo associations?
Yes. We clean multi-building associations regularly and can invoice by building or as one job. Call (224) 394-4494 to arrange a walk-through with your property manager.
My split-level's upper gutter drains onto the lower roof. Is that a problem?
Not always, but debris from the upper roof collects in the lower gutter and clogs it faster. We clean both levels, flush every downspout and tell you if an extension would help.
What does gutter cleaning cost in Northbrook?
Most Northbrook homes fall between $100 and $250, depending on square footage and stories. The full price table is on this page and the price is confirmed before work starts.
