"The gutters are clean, and needed repairs were made. Sal was upfront about what the cost of repairs would be if required. There was no debris left on the ground when the work was done. We are having Sal and his crew come back in a few weeks after the trees are finished shedding their leaves."

"Work was done promptly and efficiently. Completely finished in two days, with clean up like they were never there. When I'm ready for gutters, i'll call them again. Zachary, Justin and Devan took their time to explain everything, and answer all my questions. Very pleased."

"Garcia was a great handyman, a one man machine in getting repairs and roof work done in a professional and timely manner. I appreciate the job he did in helping restore the fascia at my parents home and not damaging the gutters and putting them back, making sure to clean everything up as well. Will consider him for other work in the future."

"I recently had my yard fence power washed and stained by Luis and his crew. My cedar fence looks great and Luis did an outstanding job! I am very pleased with the outcome and how his crew was very professional during the job. The clean up was great too! I would highly recommend Luis for any project."

FAQs for gutter cleaning projects in River Forest, IL

Yes, it’s okay to use a pressure washer to clear and clean your gutters. Be careful to avoid the outside of the gutters, as getting too close with the powerwasher can peel away the paint. Also, be careful to avoid causing any damage to seams that may be in the corners or along the length of the gutter.

Gutter cleaning costs about $170 on average, ranging from about $75 to $400. Cost factors include the type, length, and height of your gutters. A multiple-story home with gutters high off the ground and accessible only by ladder or working on a steep roof will cost more than a single-story house with a relatively flat roof.

Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, to remove the debris from trees that can clog the eavestroughs and downspouts. Debris like leaves, twigs, and seed pods can build up and cause your gutters to overflow, potentially causing damage to your roof and foundation. Water backing up under the shingles can rot the edge of your roofline. Overflow water falling next to your foundation can end up leaking into your basement or crawl space.

Yes, gutter cleaning methods without using a ladder are available, including:

  • A curved wand attachment for your hose 

  • Gutter tongs on an extension pole

  • A leaf blower gutter cleaning kit

  • Vacuum designed for cleaning gutters

Just be sure that your downspouts are connected and can direct water away from the house if you’re using a water-powered method. This will keep the water from dumping next to the house.

You can clean the gutters on a two-story house using gutter tongs on an extension pole. However, cleaning second-story gutters from a ladder or the roof is very dangerous and should be done by a professional.
