Gutter Cleaning for Highwood homes
Gutters only do one job: move the water off the roof and away from the foundation. Once leaves, seeds and shingle grit pack in, the water goes over the front edge onto the siding and the beds, or backs up under the shingles. In Lake County that happens twice a year, and by the time you can see plants growing out of the gutter it has been happening for a while.
We clean gutters by hand from a ladder, scooping the debris into buckets rather than blowing it onto your lawn and driveway, then flush every run and every downspout with a hose until the water runs clear at the bottom. Debris is bagged and taken with us. You get a text with photos of the gutters when we finish, so you do not have to climb up to check.
In Highwood we work the blocks off Sheridan Road and Green Bay Road, the streets around Everts Park, and the Fort Sheridan neighbourhoods. Homes here are a mix of single and two-storey with plenty of mature trees, so most jobs are priced and scheduled straight from the photo you text, and we run Highwood as a route day in fall so neighbours can be done on one trip.
Gutter Cleaning in Highwood: what we see
Every gutter cleaning job in Highwood is shaped by the trees: street trees and debris blown in near the lake. Most homes here are compact older homes and newer homes near Fort Sheridan, around Green Bay Road and Sheridan Road. We hand-scoop the gutters, flush every downspout, clean up the ground and haul the debris away.
When to book gutter cleaning in Highwood
Most Highwood homes need two cleanings a year: one in late spring after the maple seeds and blossoms come down, and one in late fall after the last leaves drop. Homes under street trees and debris blown in near the lake often need a third.
Highwood tips
- Book late fall early: it is our busiest stretch.
- Text a photo of the front of the house for a price.
- Tell us about any guards so we bring the right tools.
Why Highwood homeowners call us
North Shore Gutter Cleaning is a local crew out of Libertyville, not a call center. Highwood is on our regular route, prices come back from a photo you text, and the debris leaves with us.
To get a price, text a photo of the front of the house with the address. We look at the storeys, the length of the gutter runs, the downspouts and the trees around the roof, and send back one flat price, usually within the hour. No hourly rate and no surprises when the job is done. Before we leave, we walk the ground and pick up anything that fell.

Four things set the price. Text a photo of the front of the house and we work them out for you and send one flat number that includes the cleanup and hauling the debris away.
- StoreysOne-storey is quick. Two and three storeys need taller ladders and more time.
- Gutter lengthA ranch with 120 feet is a different job from a big two-storey with 300.
- DownspoutsEach one gets flushed and confirmed clear. More downspouts, more time.
- Guards and debrisGutter guards to lift and refit, or years of packed debris, add time.
